Congratulations, Bethenny Frankel, on the birth of your new baby girl, Bryn! And also, for losing 30 lbs. in just 3 weeks following your C-section on May 8th.
Wow! That's a lot of post baby weight. And apparently, Bethenny's success in melting away the fat, has some new moms a little, well, flabbergasted.
Add to the mix, that the reality television celebrity, at age 39, was able to get into a size 4 bathing suit in 3 weeks following the birth of little Bryn, and well, a few women do get a little jealous. Just check out the comments page here. My goodness!
According to an article in US Weekly, the star of The Real Housewives of New York City, had gained 35 pounds of baby weight, and through a doctor's plan, was able to quickly shed the lbs.
But today's New York Post has interviewed Peg Moline, editor-in-chief of Fit Pregnancy, and she wishes Bethenny would have been more careful about the message she is putting out there:
"I'm concerned if she's taking care of herself, getting enough rest and enough food, and not obsessing about losing the weight so quickly.
"I worry about the message that sends to the rest of us out here, who aren't invested in that 'skinny girl' persona and don't have trainers," Moline adds.
In Bethenny Frankel's defense, the new mom is breast-feeding, which helps one melt away the extra weight. And she is also very big on nutrition and diet. Let's face it.......Bethenny is a firm believer in yoga. She has a DVD, Body by Bethenny. And we all know about her Skinnygirl line of cocktails, the cookbooks, and so forth. The woman is no fool.
According to US Weekly, Bethenny had her own healthy plan:
"Frankel stayed active while carrying Bryn, alternating yoga with 45-minute walks three times a week, and practiced portion control with a vegetarian diet.".
Here's a sample post-baby diet of Bethenny's these days:
A muffin and fruit for breakfast.
A veggie sandwich and soup at lunch.
And BBQ chicken and a half a sweet potato for dinner,.
Although we are not a big fan of Bethenny and her often big mouth, we applaud her for getting back to her pre-baby weight, and doing it the smart way. We think she looks great.
LOL! Bethenny isa not a nice gal + was more worried about the dark hair line that ran from her belly while she was preggers. Remember that! Glad the baby girl is healthy and has a normal name unlike Apple, an d stupid names like that.
