This is
interesting for all the
fab post-baby mamas out there trying to regain their
pre-pregnancy flat tummies.
We wrote about
DWTS' Brooke Burke almost
5 years ago about her
secret in losing the
post-baby belly. She's had
4 kids and of course looks SUPER
incredible. Yeah, we want to hate her, but she seems so-oooo
nice.
Brooke's solution:
The
corset or
baby wrap.
"For centuries, women from around the world have been wrapping their post-pregnancy bellies to get back into shape quickly and naturally. It is believed that a belly wrap reduces the size of the swollen uterus, reduces water retention in the belly, and helps you lose inches fast, all while supporting that unwanted baggy baby skin! Tauts should be worn after delivery for forty days."
And we heard
today on
'Good Morning America,' that
Jessica Alba also wore a
corset to speed up the
post-baby weight loss + tummy toning.
This is what
31-year-old Jessica +
mom-of-2 told
Net-a-Porter magazine:
"I wore a double corset day and night for three months. It was brutal; it’s not for everyone."
Jessica adds,
"It was sweaty, but worth it."
Does it REALLY work?
Yes, says
GMA's Dr. Jennifer Ashton, senior medical contributor.
"The concept behind abdominal binders is very common after surgery and after the delivery of a baby to help support abdominal muscles, help with posture and reduce the feeling of bloating."
"Imagine taking a big breath and never fully exhaling," she says. "That’s basically the feeling the person has for hours."
Brooke Burke sells her own
corsets at her
baboosh website for
$56-$62.
So, you ask.....do these
celebrities just use a
corset to regain
amazing, flat abs or is there some
tummy-tucking plastic surgery also going ?
Well, who are we to judge.
We would like to assume that it's
more than a corset, but we could never prove it. Still, a
worthy post-baby beauty tip!
