Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell After Pregnancy Every Woman's Guide to Shaping Up Slimming Down and Staying Sane After the Baby
Author: Debra Waterhouse

New from the bestselling author of Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell! A reasonable approach to conquering post-pregnancy weight without dieting, without suffering, and without feeling bad about those extra pounds. Every woman who's ever had a baby knows how difficult it is to take off that extra weight. But dieting is the last thing...  more » a new mother should contemplate, says nutrition and pregnancy expert Debra Waterhouse. Her enormously helpful book supports that theory while revealing some little-known facts that explain just why postpartum pounds are so hard to get rid of. For instance, during pregnancy: --A woman's waist expands 50 inches

--Her skin is stretched by 400%

--Her hips widen half a foot

--Her fat cells grow to 125% their original size -- all 30 billion of them! Despite these challenges, it is possible to lose post-pregnancy weight without losing your mind. Waterhouse's trademark "outsmarting" tips can really help. Here she explains why dieting is actually counterproductive in the first few months; encourages mothers to include their newborns in their exercise regimen; shows how to boost metabolism by strengthening muscles; and invites them to embrace -- not despair over -- their new shape. Written in a warm, witty style that will endear her and her philosophy to frustrated new mothers everywhere, Waterhouse's latest offering provides sensible advice, dispels long-held myths, and, best of all, shows women just how their post-pregnancy bodies can be fitter, sexier, and stronger than ever before.  « less
