Get Back your pre-pregnancy belly back.
Sometimes, diet and exercise aren’t enough.
It might be that you just don’t have the time to dedicate to your weight loss routine. Or maybe you’ve worked hard but hit an annoying plateau and have some belly fat that just won’t shift. Or it might be that you just want to get faster results than diet and exercise alone can give you.
Thankfully, due to the revolutionary developments in body contouring over the last few decades, there are now plenty of treatments available that can help you get rid of your mum tum without going under the knife.
Fat Freezing (Cryolypolisis)
Fat freezing has become incredibly popular over the last decade with tons of women and celebrity mums all choosing it as a safer, less painful alternative to liposuction.
It’s non-surgical, meaning no scalpels, slicing or suction required! It’s safe and proven to be very effective at removing pockets of soft, squeezable body fat – such as your mum tum or love handles!
Fat Freezing works in an unusual way. By exposing your fat cells to cold temperatures we can destroy them, enabling your body to then remove them naturally through your lymphatic system.
Because the treatment is non-invasive, there’s no need for recovery time. You can continue with your normal schedule immediately after treatment – giving it a huge advantage over traditional liposuction!
As Cryolipolysis requires your body to naturally remove the dead fat cells, it can take a few weeks for the results to become fully visible – but the end result is well worth the wait! You’ll look slimmer, feel more confident and greatly improve your mum tum.
Ultrasound Cavitation
Another great non-surgical treatment for a mum tum is Ultrasound Cavitation. Similar to Fat Freezing, this treatment destroys unwanted fat cells so that your body can naturally remove them. The difference is that this groundbreaking fat reduction treatment uses ultrasonic waves instead of cold temperatures.
These ultrasonic waves generate vibrations that “shake” the fat cells until they can’t withstand it anymore. Your fat cells then start to break down and release the lipids (fats) from inside the cells into your system – ready to be burnt off as calories.
It’s completely pain-free and non-invasive, making it a popular choice for women looking to get rid of their stubborn, leftover pregnancy tum.
Again, similar to Fat Freezing, Ultrasound Cavitation is totally non-invasive so there’s no need to take any time to recover. No scarring, no painful recovery and no time off work required!
Some people see an immediate reduction in their mum tum following the first treatment but realistically you should expect to see the best results in the following 8-10 weeks.
Radio-frequency
For those of you with a mum tum consisting of excess body fat AND saggy, loose skin then our treatment for you! Shrink-It-Fix-It uses Radio-frequency and Ultrasound to improve your mum tum. Not only is it clinically proven to destroy stubborn fat cells and creating a slimmer, more toned tummy – but it also tightens loose skin that can be caused by pregnancy.
Radio frequency can improve the texture, tone and firmness of your skin at the same time! This unique combination of benefits is thanks to its high-intensity ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies. These work together to target and destroy unwanted fat cells and regenerate the production of new, stronger and healthier collagen that gives your skin a firmer appearance.
Why Is Your Baby Belly So Stubborn?
Achieving a flat stomach can be challenging even before having a baby but after pregnancy, it can be even more frustrating.
You can be left with a baby pouch or some mums call it an apron. Whatever you call it, having stubborn fat and maybe some loose skin after giving birth can be really annoying and have a negative effect on your body confidence.
You see, your stomach is a natural “storehouse” for fat. When you are pregnant your body lays down more fat in these storehouses which also includes your stomach, thighs and hips. This is to make sure you have plenty of stored energy to feed and raise a healthy baby once it arrives. Unfortunately, once you have built up a storage of fat it can be very difficult to lose especially if you are unable to breastfeed.
When you’ve got young kids it can be hard to make your own diet a priority. By the time you’ve fed the baby or done the school run, cleaned up, cooked a meal, done the washing up and stopped any sibling meltdowns – you’ve no energy left to prepare yourself a healthy, weight-loss-friendly meal.
You grab a pizza or munch on the leftovers of your kid’s dinner. But that’s part of the problem when it comes to a stubborn mum tum – you’ve got to eat right if you want to shift it without any outside help!
The easiest way to eat well when you’re overworked and overwhelmed is to keep things simple. Cut out refined sugars and avoid carbs like white pasta, bread or cereals. Try to eat plenty of fresh vegetables, clean meats and fish.
For the best weight loss results, I encourage people to look at the Keto diet. It’s easy to do, doesn’t involve feeling hungry and can have some really quick results.
