Beating the Pregnancy Belly Fat
Executive Summary By Gary J Bailey

By the way – if you think I’m only talking about the ladies here when I say “Pregnancy belly fat” – I’m not! I’m talking about that sympathy pregnancy belly fat too!! The fact is, especially when it’s your first baby, it’s a stressful time – in fact, I’m surprised you have time to read this article…

Before that, I should say that I am NOT a doctor, but we have just been through this ourselves, and we’ve beaten our share of pregnancy belly fat – if you have health concerns, listen to your doctor, but nothing here should contradict what they are telling you.

First – pregnancy belly fat is all part of the game! No matter how much other people have told you before pregnancy, nothing can really prepare you for the experience. It’s an emotional time, as well as a very tiring time – nobody gets enough sleep and then there’s all the preparations to worry about, decorating the nursery, getting to check ups, is the bag packed, and so on. This is not the time to add “beat the belly fat” to your personal to-do list! Just enjoy the new parenting experience as much as you can – weight loss can wait!

Second – stop trying to manage your diet! – Your body really does know best at this time and a little extra belly fat (and thigh fat and arm fat lol) is all part of the process.

You’ve just been carrying an extra 8-12 lbs person around for the last nine months and things take a little while to adjust – no matter HOW flat your stomach was beforehand, that bump is not going to disappear overnight. Again – don’t sweat it, just listen to your body and give yourself a chance to recover. You’re going to have enough to deal with from lack of sleep and the new regime that your baby WILL impose on your life. Now is not the time to start running 5 miles a day!

Having a baby is a pretty brutal experience for your body – especially as a lot of people are having them later and later in life – so give yourself a chance to recover. And if you are planning to have your kids close together (as we did, although some people go even closer!) then you might want to just shelve weight loss altogether and concentrate on just surviving for a couple of years! Finally – the babies are sleeping through the night, nursing is down to a manageable schedule or even finished with and you are starting to feel more human and equipped to face exercise again. At this point, it is very tempting – especially if you were particularly fit beforehand – to launch into a brutal exercise and diet regime. My advice? You are probably heartily sick of carrying that pregnancy belly fat – that’s both of you – men get the sympathy belly fat too! Start slowly – a little gentle exercise for 10-20 minutes a day a few times per week can work miracles. Bottom line? Enjoy being pregnant, enjoy your new baby and, when the time is right, enjoy getting back into shape and beating that pregnancy belly fat – and a program like Strip That Fat can only help!
