How To Tighten Your Stomach

7 Belly Tightening Tips After Pregnancy

Hi Victoria!

I’m so in need of your expertise! 2 months ago, I had my third child! We are very happy with the size of our family and we’ve decided not to have any more children. Now, that I won’t be having any more kids, I want to focus on getting a flat stomach again. what advice would you give on how to tighten your stomach?

I don’t want to have surgery, at least not yet. And even if I decide too, it is recommend to get back to your healthy ideal body size and get as much fat off your stomach area as possible so that the results will look better and last longer.

Sincerely,

Hi Gwen,

Thank you for writing me and congratulations on your new baby! I totally agree with the surgeons advice on getting to your ideal body weight and size before going full force into having a tummy tuck. I’ve worked with many new moms and I know how to tighten your stomach with a few recommendations.

Start Gentle Exercise

After having a baby, it will be at least 6 weeks before you can do any exercise. When starting back to a regimented exercise regime, you will want to take it slow. You may want to go out the gate like a race horse, but if you over do it, your body will pay for it with pain and a huge set-back due muscle strain. Walking, yoga, and light strength training is a good regime to start with. Working out your entire body will help help to support your core abdominal muscles which will begin to tighten and get you back to your pre-baby body shape. Walking, yoga, stretch and tone exercises are great to start with.

Eat Protein

Make sure you are getting enough protein. How much do you need? At least 90 grams of protein daily. This is not a lot if you consider you can get most of it through protein shake that provide at least 25 – 30 grams of protein. Do 2 of these daily and the rest of your protein can be with lean protein such as fish, chicken and lean grass fed beef. If you are an animal protein lover, you can get protein from bean, legumes, and soy and other plant protein sources. Just make sure your 3rd meal during the day outside two shakes provide at least 30 grams of protein per day. Shakes are great because you can add healthy supplements like omega 3 through flax and chia seeds. You need healthy omega 3s because this will help tighten your belly fat. Protein helps your body create more collagen which helps to tighten your belly.

Eat Lots of Green and Colorful Vegetables and Low Sugar Fruit

Some of the best vegetables to eat are veggies that are low in calories and sugar. Peppers contain capsaicin to help you to burn that stubborn fat. Toss sliced pepper in your salad at lunch or dinner. Chillies help to curb your appetite and helps to burn more calories. Onions are low in calories and add lots of flavor and cucumber has tons of water and can be sliced and added to your salads, or even water. Veggies, like tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, and kale, are great vegetables that are low in calories and high in antioxidants that will help create new tight skin. Eating low sugar fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries will help tighten you skin and stretch marks if you have them. Fruits like peaches, apples, pears, and oranges are good too. Grapes, pineapple, watermelon, mangos and bananas have more fruit. It’s not like you can’t eat them, its just that you want to limit them. You can add a small amount to a protein smoothie and you will still taste their goodness without all the sugar and calories.

 

Drink Lots of Water

Water helps to eliminate toxins caused by the foods you eat and by the bad bacteria in your gut. Make sure you drink at least 64-80 ounces of water daily. After having a baby, you lack elasticity in your skin and it takes a few months to get your skin to get totally hydrated. To check your skin’s elasticity, gently pinch your skin and see if it bounces back. If it doesn’t bounce back, you need to drink more water to hydrate yourself and to plump up your cells. Areas such as the skin under your eyes can become dark if you lost elasticity and are not hydrated.

Work on Your Core

Your core is your stomach muscles. If your core is not strong, you will suffer from all types of muscle and bone conditions along with sagging belly skin. How you can tighten your stomach faster, yet be gentle at the same time is to start off with three simple exercises.

The First is to do Planks

Planks are simple and engage all your core abdominal muscles, making them an excellent exercise for tightening your core. To do one, get in push-up position. Raise your feet to about shoulder height by balancing them on an exercise ball, or a stool. Keep your arms flexed just slightly, not locked, and hold that position with your core muscles engaged for one minute.

The second is doing crunches.

Lay on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands on the sides of your head, or across your chest. Keeping your back and neck very straight, sit up by engaging your abdominal muscles. Raise yourself to about 45 degrees, then lower yourself, but not all the way back to the ground. Repeat.The third is doing leg lefts.

The Third is to Do Leg Lifts

A variety of leg-lifting exercises can be done to strengthen all your core muscles. To start, lay flat on your back with your hands under your butt. Keep your feet together and raise them about six inches off the ground. Raise them to about a 45 degree angle, then lower them to six inches above the ground again. Try to do as many reps as you can in 30 seconds, and repeat this three times.Use Skin Tightening Creams

Waist Train

One of the most effective things to do when you are learning how to tighten your stomach, is to do something that has been passed down to women over centuries. It’s called waist training.  It wasn’t until well known reality TV stars started posting their amazing hourglass body pictures on Instagram that waist training busted into the beauty scene. Celebrities like Snookie, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Amber Rose and of course the infamous Kardashian tribe created a frenzy that re-introduced this ancient body-shaping art to the rest of us. There’s so much controversy on the safety and benefits of waist training, however, done responsibly and followed using waist trainers constructed to correct and rejuvenate the body, physicians to dance instructors are recommending the use of them.

Women come in all shapes and sizes. However, the hourglass body shape is the most revered. So, what if you were not gifted with this prize proportion? That’s where the corset or waist trainer comes in handy. If doesn’t matter if you have an apple, diamond, pear, or carrot body shape, you can create an hourglass body simply and safely over time by waist training.

A Waist Trainer Helps You Lose Weight?

When you wear a corset or waist trainer, you eat less. You will find that you get fuller faster resulting in less food consumption. Not only does it help with eating less food, it can help delay hunger. No, your organs are not all smashed together! It’s similar to what happens when women are pregnant. There’s plenty of room in your abdominal cavity for compression and when wearing a corset or waist trainer, when it is the proper size, will not cause discomfort.

Use Skin Tightening Creams

There are a lot of skin tightening creams to choose from. It’s best to start with an organic brand that is effective. The ones that work the best, use the top ingredients research has found and proven to tighten skin. Find a product with a super-concentrated complete formulation of highly active ingredients that penetrates deeply to release toxins, break up fat and tighten skin. It must support the cells deep within the dermal layer to restructure in a way that results in a tighter, toned skin surface. I use to have tons of cellulite and stretch marks after losing over 70 pounds.

I tried all the expensive spa treatments, creams, lotions, and potions. Some worked, and some did a fair job. But, I would end up mixing my own concoctions and getting better results. That’s when I realized, that if my own formulations were working, why not create my own skin care line. My Slim & Tone Anti-Cellulite Cream.

My Slim & Tone Anti-Cellulite Cream is a synergy of multi-ingredient and multi-benefit body firming cream specifically formulated for shaping, contouring and firming the body. It helps to detox the skin, remove toxins, decrease dimply formations and help maintain the appearance of toned smooth looking skin. You will love this unprecedented formula that is packed with skin transforming greatness.

This 4 ounce Slimming Cream helps reduce water retention that makes cellulite worse due to swelling, inflammation and puffiness. It also helps smooth the skin and evens the skin tone. When you have blocked circulation, the skin does not get the oxygen it needs to be healthy, smooth, even tone and vibrant.

This formula contains some very effective active ingredients that are fat busting powerhouses along with aloe that penetrates through the protein wall that surrounds the fat cell to help facilitate the release of heavy toxins into the lymphatic system where it can be flushed away by drinking healthy amounts of water.

Herbal Infusion: Fresh Lock Moisture Seal

We make our Slim & Tone Slimming Cream Fresh for every Amazon Order and are sealed with an exclusive moisture lock seal that keeps the formula fresh and potent to help you get the vest result possible.

They are made in the USA, not shipped on a slow boat from China like many other creams. Over time the ingredients lose their power or they are filled with artificial additives and preservatives that leech into your skin and are not natural substances.

When you open the jar, do not pull off the entire seal, simply cut a diamond shape hole and use a brush, dropper or fan to extract the amount you want to use and seal it back.  You can also simply peel back a small section of the seal and pour into a small dish or into the palm of your hands to use.
