Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Bing, a noted childbirth expert who introduced the Lamaze method to the United States, has now teamed up with coauthor Colman to help new mothers lose the weight they gained during their pregnancy. Discussing "the special concerns regarding diet and exercise for the postpartum woman," they emphasize the importance of establishing healthy patterns for both mother and baby. Their book is divided into three parts--the immediate postpartum period, the next five weeks, and special concerns about breast-feeding. Specific exercises and suggestions about diet and foods are given in each part. For illustrative purposes, Bing and Colman include anecdotes from new mothers. Their very readable and understandable book fulfills its expressed goal of being a guide to postpartum weight loss and fitness. Recommended for consumer health/patient education collections.

New mothers should make time for this book,
This review is from: Losing Weight After Pregnancy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Postpartum Fitness (Paperback)
Books like these often get shoved aside in the upheaval that overtakes a woman after the birth of a baby. The night table is cluttered with diapers, wipes, burp rags, nursing pads and baby care manuals. Who has time to waste reading? Especially about a depressing subject like losing all that baby weight?For this book, you should make time. It gives one of the most clear and concise descriptions of just how pregnant women gain weight, and the physiological steps required to lose it. There's no manic Jane Fonda exhorting you to pull in those flabby abs, just a sensible diet, exercise guidelines and survival tips from childbirth preparation expert Bing.

Stupid Book,
By "kbj1" (TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Losing Weight After Pregnancy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Postpartum Fitness (Paperback)
Do NOT get Elizabeth Bing's book about losing weight after pregnancy... it was a waste of time and money.Most of this is common sense... the rest is just plain useless. Get Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell -After Pregnancy by Waterhouse instead.
