Is it just us, or does it seem like every woman in Hollywood has recently given birth? From superstar singers like Beyoncé and Adele to mega movie stars like Drew Barrymore and Megan Fox, we've been inundated with paparazzi snapshots of adorable baby bumps.
And now, we're getting a steady stream of those new moms' never-looked-better bods.
Of course, we could hate these women for their post baby bodies (and the live-in trainers and personal chefs who helped them lose the baby weight so quickly). Or, we could uncover the secrets that helped them look so good so soon after giving birth and apply those tactics (at least the sane ones!) to our own no-personal-trainer-here lives.
Since option No. 1 just makes us feel bitter, we're going with option No. 2. Keep reading to get the dirt on how Hollywood's hottest new moms get fit fast.
If you dont eat like a pig (fast food, lots of choc, coke...) and do light fittness during ur pregnancy, its normal if u gain 12-18 kg. The fat is stored and used to produce breastmilk. So the more u feed ur baby, the more u lose pregnancy weight. Wanna speed up? Do light postpregnancy exercises at least 4x week.
Diet, diet, diet ... before, during and especially after. Then, time, time, time and patience. Good Golly, we norms just don't have the bucks these super mommys have for personal trainers, babysitters, dietiecians (yeah, that's a new word). But, really ... it's DIET.
My pedometer broke (1 too many times forgetting to take it off when I jumped in the pool!!!). It was a decent 1. This Spring I want to buy 1 like the FitBit. I still try to walk as much as I can!
Beyonce shouldn't wear that dress, makes her hips look huuuuge.
I think how fast every woman loses weight after pregnancy depends on lots of factors outside diet and hitting the gym. It's the metabolism, age, whether hormone balance is intact. In case of celebrities- they make money with their body, so they get a crew to help them lost weight. And that crew includes nannies, because how is one supposed to go to a gym and cook fancy shakes and meals with a baby hanging on the chest? :)
I just had a boy three months ago, gained 20 lbs and walked out of the hospital at my prepreg weight, now I just have to get ride of my prepreg weight lol.
