After surveying over 600 moms I found the number one area of concern was the belly, also known as “muffin top”, “belly flab”, or “pooch”. I’ve received hundreds of questions about how to firm up and get rid of the flab. Here are a couple of answers to your questions. More to come….
*”Sara, is it true that if I cut out all carbs I’ll lose weight and have a flat stomach?”
“Yes, you’ll lose weight by “cutting out” carbs, BUT you’re also likely to feel deprived which means you’ll gain the weight back and more. Instead of completely cutting out carbs, I recommend simple modifications. For example, if you’re having pasta chose whole grain pasta vs. white flour pasta. Whole grains have fiber and minerals which benefit the body. Also, be aware of your portions. Have a larger helping of veggies or greens and a smaller amount of pasta.”
*”Sara, Do you eat pasta?”
“Absolutely! One of my personal favorite meals is a small to medium helping of whole grain pasta with marinara sauce and turkey or veggie meatballs along with a large mixed green salad topped with carrots, avocado, walnuts and Four Seasons Italian Dressing Mix Packet mixed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.”
