BottomSlim | Post-Pregnancy Bulging Tummy, OMG!

The extreme fatigue, recurrent mood swings, inability to lose weight are often a shared experience for many women who just gave birth. Losing leftover pregnancy kilos and especially toning the lower body specifically is the worst.
Keep Expectations in Check
Depending on the size of the newborn and the weight of the amniotic fluids and placenta (which you deliver at birth), most pregnant women can expect to lose between 6 to 12 kilos during delivery. Given that most pregnancy weight gain is between 12 to 15 kilos, that’s a healthy start. Your breast tissue, blood supply, fat stores and enlarged uterus will not shrink until the first six weeks. So expect the belly to stay enlarged for a while.
Don’t focus on "getting your body back" (it didn’t go anywhere!) instead create a healthy, happy, and — possibly slightly differently shaped — you. BottomSlim has some tips to get you started:-
1.       Weekly weight-loss goal
As we shared last week, you need to lose weight slowly in order to prevent loose skin from developing. A good rule of thumb is to create a calorie deficit of 500 to 750 a day to have healthy weight loss. Keep in mind, too, that especially if you gained more than 15 kilos during your pregnancy, it could take extra time (from 10 months to two years) to bounce back.
2.       Breastfeeding melts the fat away
As many new moms will attest, breastfeeding helps you shrink back in record time. In fact, depending on how much milk you produce, breastfeeding can burn up about 500 calories per day. What’s more, it stimulates the release of hormones that help shrink your uterus (and your post-baby belly).
3.       Listen to your body
As you slow down on breastfeeding, you may notice that weaning naturally decreases your appetite — your body’s natural way of putting you on the right kind of diet (so listen to it!). You’ll likely feel you have more free time (and comfortable) to increase the level of physical activity, too. So when you stop nursing, don’t worry too much about packing on the pounds you lost. Lifestyle changes can help keep your metabolism churning.
4.       Do the baby dance
Even though you're super busy, you can always find ways to squeeze in some exercise. How with my baby? Exactly! You can do some quick, energizing exercises with the tiny tot at home in minutes. We suggest put on some music you love to dance to while you hold your baby close to your body while supporting the head. For variety, try intervals of slow and moderately fast music to keep your heart rate up. (Safety first: When performing exercises, your baby must be able to hold his head up on his/her own. Usually 3-4 months is a good time.)
5.       Team Up
While it’s hard to say exactly if and when weight loss slows, experts say that many women do retain 3 to 5 kilos for good. That said, it likely has nothing to do with being pregnant but is more related to changes in your diet and activity levels after baby is in the picture: Caring for a new baby leaves a lot less time to take care of yourself. You will need some help to do some targeted fat reductions so you can look the best you can. Team up with a professional slimming centre – and create a sensible plan according to your body needs and goals.

BottomSlim | Cellulite and Stubborn Stretch Marks

Here’s more advice specifically for women, starting with the question we get asked often: How do you get rid of cellulite, stubborn fats, and stretch marks naturally and safely? These days almost all women have cellulite to one degree or another, and it’s generally considered a blight–a sign of a lazy, unhealthy lifestyle. Ironically, women who exercise or have a mass build-up of muscles can see cellulite and stubborn stretch marks start to form. Even fit women get affected with stretch marks Eunice Annabel was one such customer who was a victim of the ugly stretch marks around her thighs and butt areas. Eunice had been active in competitive cheerleading all through her secondary school days. Having to play the base teammate who throws and catches teammates when they are doing complex routines, she had developed strong muscles below her torso. However, the moment she stopped cheerleading activities, she shrunk in size and along came the stretch marks. So what happen...

BOTTOMSLIM | BAD EXPERIENCE TO LOSE WEIGHT THROUGH STARVATION

Shy away from starvation when dieting Weight loss requires a lot of commitment and effort with respect to dieting and exercising. The aim of these two mechanisms is to reduce the calorie intake as the body burns its excess fat. However, even though these two methods help maintain a fit lifestyle they are not the quickest method of shedding off some excess weight. It is easy for someone to give up or backslide to normal eating habits. Nevertheless, some people look for alternate methods of reducing their calorie intake. Starvation is one of these methods. Starvation regulates the intake of calories to the body and speeds up the weight loss process. However, this weight will return when you continue with your normal eating schedule. Therefore, starvation is a quick weight loss option, but not an effective one. This read will shed some light on starvation as a weight loss mechanism. REASONS WHY STARVATION IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS PLAN It has less potential in compariso...
