			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The legends about the success of many <strong>celebrities</strong>, who attended yoga classes and had a salt-free diet, are unlikely to have something to do with reality.<br />
<span id="more-2605"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2608" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Miranda-Kerr.jpg" alt="Miranda Kerr" width="315" height="452" /></p>
<p>According to the reports from the sources associated with the elite plastic surgery of many stars, celebrities resort to the most extreme methods in order to regain their good <strong>shape</strong>.</p>
<h3>Radical Weight Loss Methods after Childbirth Celebs Prefer</h3>
<p>Thus, Dr. Carson Liu told in an interview with FOX that most celebrities resorted to the most extreme <strong>weight loss</strong> methods after childbirth. The doctor had very serious doubts as to whether these methods could be called healthy. Hollywood celebrities have a huge external pressure. They just have to lose weight after <strong>giving birth</strong>, and that is what is expected of them.</p>
<h3>Strict Dieting after Childbirth</h3>
<p>Another expert tells about such a &#8220;conventional&#8221; method: immediately after birth the star begins to starve in order to undergo liposuction as quickly as possible. This is accompanied by a procedure known among the professionals as &#8220;fat transferring&#8221;, which involves surgical removal of fat from one part of the body and its transfer to another one.</p>
<h3>Celebrities Opt for Surgery to Get a Slim Body Again <strong>After Pregnancy</strong></h3>
<p>According to plastic surgeon Constantino Mendieta, most women discover that after birth their body simply does not respond to diet and exercise. Celebrities need to recover their former shape, literally, overnight. Women often have to remove the fat from the abdomen and move it to the buttocks to restore the fullness and roundness of the star rear. It works well for the women, who want to boast a flat stomach. The &#8220;good job&#8221; costs 13,000 dollars.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2607" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/beyonce.jpg" alt="Beyonce" width="315" height="420" /></p>
<h3>Extreme Breast Milk Pumping to Lose Weight</h3>
<p>The struggle for the figure does not end here. Most of the stars, in the words of another expert, are engaged in &#8220;extreme breast milk pumping&#8221; to restore their <strong>breast</strong> shape. They pump the milk day and night. Celebrities always have a lot of empty bottles at hand.</p>
<h3>Placenta Injections</h3>
<p>Some even use their own placenta, which is injected daily, in a combination with low-calorie diet. The tool is effective, but also very dangerous because it can lead to colon cancer.</p>
<h3>Healthy After-Childbirth Weight Loss Tips</h3>
<p>Dr. Liu advises women not to resort to such extremes, but to protect their health and the health of their child. If you want to <strong>lose weight</strong> and not lose health, just be careful with what you eat, have breast-feeding when you can, and do physical exercises an hour a day. The results will not be instantaneous, but they will not be fatal and disappointing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hilary Duff</strong> gave birth on March 20, and she is already up and around!<br />
<span id="more-2610"></span><br />
<a href="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Hillary-Duff.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2582" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Hillary-Duff.jpg" alt="Hillary Duff" width="315" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>Duff, 24, successfully delivered her first <strong>child</strong> with hubby Mike Comrie, son Luca Cruz, and now hastens to catch up on her social life. First she stepped out for a dinner with a friend that came off with a gaffe that sent shellfish flying.</p>
<p>Describing it on Twitter on Tuesday, the actress said she couldn’t be taken anywhere right now for having sent a shrimp tail flying into the eye her dinner companion!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2611" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/hilary-duff.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="420" /></p>
<p>Eventually everything was fine, “no tears,” as the Devoted star wrote having arrived home in time for feeding her son and continuing her exploration of “this <strong>motherhood</strong> thing.”</p>
<p>Well, the other way round it was a little better – on Thursday Duff came round to West Hollywood hair salon Nine Zero One, to have her hair done by her dresser Riawna Capri. The visit inspired her enough to upload her photo on the Twitter, saying she was “feelin fresh.”</p>
<p>We&#8217;re sure, most mothers would love to have such a post-baby body as Hillary Duff has!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Beyoncé</strong> has good reasons to appear in public – and nothing to be shy for, even though it’s only a month since she and Jay-Z welcomed their hit singer <strong>baby</strong>, Blue Ivy Carter. For her figure is as voluptuous as ever.<br />
<span id="more-2465"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2466" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beyonce.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>Her first <strong>post-baby</strong> appearance occurred Monday night at her hubby’s double concert at Carnegie Hall, NYC. The 30-year-old mother turned up dressed in an Alice Temperly thing, merrily orange and clinging to her gorgeous hips, with a pair of towering heels – an eyeful, as usual.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2467" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beyonce-4-300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>Jay-Z’s show, which was to benefit his Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way, expectedly included Glory, the song that he recorded with vocal assistance of their newborn daughter, 2 days old then.</p>
<p>Later the rapper told the audience he had feared lest he should break down during his performance of the hit.</p>
<p>When asked by New York’s Daily News about the concert later Monday, Beyoncé called it “amazing.”</p>
<p>Afterwards she followed her husband to a party at the 40/40 club in a somewhat stealthy fashion, avoiding the red carpet, hurrying through the side door to her husband who had arrived in a Maybach about half an hour before her.</p>

<span id="more-1877"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1878" title="Miranda Kerr" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Miranda-Kerr.jpg" alt="Miranda Kerr for Victoria's Secret" width="400" height="535" /></p>
<p>Though her fans know that on January 6 (all right, a little more than 3 months ago!), she gave <strong>birth</strong> to son Flynn by her husband <strong>Orlando Bloom</strong>, on Sunday in Malibu, at a <strong>Vitoria’s Secret</strong> photo session, she looked resplendent in a black two-piece bikini that wasn’t meant to hide much of her hot body.</p>
<p>UsWeekly sure wanted to know how she managed to regain her great <strong>figure</strong> in so short a time. The Australian model, 27, believes it’s due to <strong>breastfeeding</strong>.</p>
<p>Kerr and Bloom’s own Flynn was born a big boy of nearly 10 pounds and picked up another 10 pounds in the first 2 and a half months of his life. So, “he’s a hungry little boy,” says his sexy mother.</p>
<p>The happy model shares that she likes to spend most of her time off work with the <strong>baby</strong>. Us reported her saying that she enjoyed motherhood anew with every new day, calling it “a miracle” and her brightest experience so far.</p>

Girl displayed linear response, as the skinnier they are the happier they feel. <span id="more-886"></span>Boys, on the other hand, had U-shaped response, as too fat or too skinny boys are unhappy with their bodies.</p>
<p>Canadian scientists decided to study the effect of generally accepted ideas of &#8220;<strong>perfect body</strong>&#8221; on the eating behavior of <strong>children</strong>. According to Bryn Austin, the head of the group of researchers from the Harvard University and the University of Alberta, Canada, they found a clear link between children being dissatisfied with their bodies and increased risk of <strong>eating disorders</strong>, such as vomiting, starvation, use of laxatives and diet pills.</p>
<p>In order to understand <strong>body satisfaction</strong> in children and how much it is related to BMI, the scientists studied prevalence of poor body satisfaction in girls and boys and its association with body weight and socioeconomic factors.</p>
<p>Examining the results of the study, Austin noted that poor body satisfaction among boys with low BMI can reflect the cultural ideals of male beauty, with preferences muscularity and leanness. On the other hand, thinness remains the cultural <strong>ideal of body</strong> shape among girls.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-160" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px 8px;" title="Couple Kissing" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/couple-kiss.jpg" alt="Couple Kissing" width="196" height="110" />For many women <strong>sexual relationships after pregnancy</strong> are more of a psychological than physiological issue. After delivery – whether it was vaginal or cesarean birth – doctors encourage <strong>women</strong> to abstain from sex during follow-up six weeks. Your body needs this break to recover as <strong>pregnancy</strong> and <strong>giving birth</strong> impose the greatest stress.<span id="more-155"></span></p>
<p>However, many women feel <strong>sex after pregnancy</strong> as more of a psychological than physiological problem. And it is particularly hard on those who had a <strong>c-section</strong>.</p>
<h3>‘I Can’t Have Sex Because of the Ugly Post C-Section Scar’</h3>
<p>Here is what a woman with such problem says in her letter:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Two months ago, I had a c-section and now I have this ugly scar across my belly. I can’t even imagine myself putting clothes off with my husband looking. Sex is out of question! How can I fight this thought my body looks repulsive? </em></p></blockquote>
<p>Both young mothers and those who haven’t yet had a baby have some kind of physical imperfections like cellulites, sensitive skin, thin hair… So what? If it’d been essential to have a perfect body to have <strong>sex</strong>, mankind would have perished long ago.</p>
<h3>Don’t Hide Your Body because of the Post Cesarean Scar</h3>
<p>Your doctor must have told you that <strong>cesarean scars</strong> would grow pale and flatten eventually. Until that happens, think what made you sexy in your husband’s eyes before. While you see nothing but your fresh scar, your husband surely enjoys other things in you. Remember him saying how he loves your hair, your legs, your skin smell, the line of your back. Whatever he admires in you, it didn’t go away because of the scar. So why hide from your <strong>husband</strong> what he admires in your body.</p>
<h3>Try to Love Your New Body Step by Step</h3>
<p>Adapting to your new <strong>body</strong> is like learning to swim or entering a room full of strangers and striking a conversation with somebody. It comes down to practicing it. If you repeatedly do something that seems odd at first, it will soon become natural, especially if you don&#8217;t rush things.</p>
<p>In your situation, it means choosing <a title="Melanie Brown for Ultimo Lingerie" href="http://geniusbeauty.com/fashion-and-wear/melanie-brown-ultimo-underwear-again/" target="_blank">lingerie</a> which would accentuate your advantages. For example, try a short negligee that opens up your legs or a sexy bodice to raise your bust line and cover your torso (this kind of lingerie makes men so excited). Gradually cut down on “disguise outfit” and find opportunities to make naked appearances in front of your husband outside your bedroom. If you – charming and naked – ran across your husband on your way out of shower, do you think he’d focus on that infamous <strong>scar</strong>? So, step by step you will learn it over again to lose yourself in lovemaking and will forget about your small imperfection which, by the way, gave you someone who is very important to you.</p>
