Bethenny's Weight Loss Detrimental To New Moms?!
Bethenny Frankel may have lost 30 pounds just three weeks after giving birth, but her desperate plea for publicity is irking new mothers.
"This sets a very unattainable standard for the majority of new mothers," said one expectant mom.
Peg Moline, editor-in-chief of Fit Pregnancy, said:
"I'm concerned if she's taking care of herself, getting enough rest and enough food, and not obsessing about losing the weight so quickly.
I worry about the message that sends to the rest of us out here, who aren't invested in that 'skinny girl' persona and don't have trainers."
No shiz! But we all know Bethenny doesn't care about anyone but herself. Plus, she has mentioned herself that she grew up obsessed with food, dieting, and weight.
Frankel defended allegations by insisting that she went on a doctor-advised diet and exercise plan. Then she said that the weight loss "was water retention exacerbated by a C-section, which doesn't allow food for two days."
The famewhore continued:
"My message to women is to be comfortable where you are, to not binge at any point in your life, to eat a balanced diet with indulgences and to go at your own pace."
Riiiiiight. As long as Bethenny isn't the fat one!

Glee To Perform At The Tonys!
Nick Cannon Comments On Pregnancy Rumors AGAIN!
would you stop! still love her!
AND i am a mom…i am not offended by her speedy weigh loss…
OMFG Fatty Perez, stop being jealous because YOU are still fat and she isn't. It is called diet and exercise..why don't you try it fatty. After my daughter was born I pretty much went back to my pre baby weight. It doesn't mean I went on some crazy diet. Grant it I was still puffy in the belly but still it can be done without assumptions of something worse. Stop being jealous and go hit the gym instead of the drive thru.
c'mon, did u see what great shape she was in BEFORE she was pregnant, not to mention WHILE she was pregnant? leave her alone. good for her!
So jealous of her speedy weight loss! BUT I also had a C-Section and I was NEVER told not to eat two days after!
She's butt ugly!!!
Meh, my baby's 4 months. I gained 20 lbs and lost it in 9 days. Now I'm down 30 from the day I gave birth. And I've barely moved a single lazy assed muscle, lol. Breastfeeding and having to work and take care of a baby? For someone it just does the job. Plus Bethanny probably had a fair amount of water weight. Her face was all swollen before she gave birth.
WOW these people are ridiculous!! So she shouldn't have lost the weight so quickly because other mothers aren't able to do so!!
1. she's lying if she says she is a size 4
2. she lost 30 pounds supposedly, of a 35 pound weight gain. Around 10lbs of that go away immediately with the birth of the baby and the fluid being gone.
3. It's Jersey, a week long coke binge.
A lot of people lose weight that fast after they give birth. They're making something out of nothing. I know plenty of moms (me included) who lost between 20 - 30 lbs in the first few weeks. You practically sweat it all out. It's the last 5 - 10 pounds that are miserable to lose!! Bethenny is fine. Leave the poor girl alone!
balls
I wish all fat women would just leave it alone already!! If you don't care enough about your healthy to lose the weight fine don't do it but leave everyone else alone! I only gained 25 lbs during each of my 2 pregnancies both of my girls were born perfectly fine and I went back to my prepregnancy weight within 1 week. So it can be done. And no I did not starve myself I just didn't use my pregnancies as an excuse to eat like a damn pig and gain 100 lbs.
Why are people hating on her for losing weight? She lost most of it after delivery. If you ever had a kid you would know this.
This diet/self-image freak had a tiny, underweight baby!!!!!!! Thanks for starving yourself so you starved your kid too! Gee, can't wait to see the self-image and weight problems this poor little girl will have thanks to her mom!
"Exacerbated by a C-section, which doesn't allow food for two days???" I think she's a little off her rocker there with that quote. There are two things wrong with that. First, you are limited to liquids for about 24 hours following a c-section. However, you are still eating and can assume a solid diet after that 24 hour period assuming all goes well. Secondly, even if that were true, how in the hell does two days with no food amount to being "bikini ready" after a few weeks? As a mother of 2, both of whom were born via c-section, I must say these post baby body features are getting to be a bit much. It use to be presented as amazing if a woman had her post baby body back after six months. Now we are down to 3 weeks? What's next, 1 day? I'm smart enough as a woman to not give in to these kinds of things. However, I do find it beyond ridiculous anymore. Hell, at least attribute your amazing weight loss to something true!
Still love her!!!!
Love Bethenny!
Inspiration for a lot of people…good for her!!
so, on this post. I had nothing going. But I h8 her so much! also can you tell ' yup I took this from another site. copynpaste overload today.
Women should fucking wake up and stop following celebs. Use your fucking brains if you have them and exercise your judgement before you do anything. Noone sets up standards for you. Set your own.
If a woman gets 'depressed' for carrying baby weight 3 weeks after giving birth then it's her own problem not someone else's. Enough already !!!
Um did you see her before she was preg? She was as skinny as can be, she has a natural skinny petite frame. I have women in my family that have the same frame, got pregnant, and a month after giving birth were back to their same frame. They did eat healty and exercise and they did not do anything abnormal like starving as what you are implying. Stop picking on her!
Please bitch prbably did an 8-ball as soon as that baby was born! She was drinking coffee while she was pregnant and probably did other unhealthy stuff to stay thin while she was pregnant…wasn't her baby like 4 lbs when it was born??? Real healthy you self centered slut!
shut up mommy, mommy, mommies. fucking mommy and baby cults sitting around talking for fucking hours rehashing their labor and other shit no one cares about. if she wants to lose weight that quick that's her business. if you want to take a year to lose it, that's yours.
yesterday you told her how beautiful she looked and today ur commenting this makes no sense!!!
its funny how fat women complain about being fat. then they get pregnant and complain about being fatter. then someone comes along who lives a healthy lifestyle and then those same fat women complain that shes not a good example. lol when are fat people going to wake up and realize they are fat because they make themselves fat. theyre always making up excuses by calling themselves "real women" oh please. there are two types of women in this world, fat one and skinny ones. deal with it!
I lost weight that fast after a baby. It might not be typical, but it does happen… losing water and then not having much time to eat will do it without purposely dieting.
I gained 52 pounds while preggo and was probably 10 pounds above Bethenny's normal weight. I lost 20 pounds in 3 days after delivery and 35 pounds within two weeks. I think if most of your weight gain was from hormonal/water weight changes and you didn't eat like a pig while preggo it does come off easy. Just my experience. The last 10 was the hardest but it took 2 months to get back to normal for me.
I'm proud of her she gained good weight during her pregnacy and lost it because of her HEALTHY life style. TEAM BETHANY
Hey all of us moms out there know people like Bethenny, who bounce right back to their pre pregnancy body. Those people are lucky , some people have to work harder and some people use the baby as an excuse the rest of their lives. I say if someone is gonna starve themselves just because Bethenny lost her baby weight quickly, they have bigger issues then how they look. I dont think Bethenny is trying to say "HA HA fat people, look at me, im skinny again". Im sure that magazine offered her money to do the shoot and shes not the first celebrity to do it. I say good for you Bethenny and congrats on your new baby girl!! Xx
Just because you are Jill-lover…leave Bethenny alone. FYI, she is breast feeding, which does allow your body to burn calories faster. I lost 40 lbs in 2 weeks after having my baby. Get over yourself, fatty!
the weight loss "was water retention exacerbated by a C-section, which doesn't allow food for two days."
This is crap! You can eat that same day…said from first hand experience. BUUUUUT, I do have to say as much as I loathe her, its correct to be able to lose 30lbs in 3 weeks after giving birth, plus she's a twigg, so OF COURSE she's going to look fab 3 weeks later! She was a skinny bitch to begin with!
Who freakin cares how much weight she lost or how fast or how she did it. How can her losing weight and getting back to normal be offensive to anyone??
All the fat moms out there are jealous she's skinny again and they aren't. If everyone watched what they ate and did yoga everyday we'd all look like her.
So all the fat moms need to shut up and get off their butt and do something if they don't like being fat
Since when can you not eat for two days after a C-section? I had an emergency c-section and they brought me food later in the day. Maybe her suddenly skinny body has more to do with the fact that she didn't eat much when she was pregnant? Her baby was 4 lbs! I know it was early, but not that early. Such low birth rate is not healthy for a baby. I'm not advocating that women pack on the pounds when they're pregnant, but they need to take care of their bodies. I don't want to throw around the term pregorexia but . . .
Anyone with a brain should know dropping 30lbs in 3 weeks isn't a realistic goal, unless you're massively obese.
Women and body image… is it so terrible to be a bit overweight after having a baby?!?!
oh please, its common place to have a tummy tuck while the surgeon is in there after a c-section. She is just lying about it because she has a line of diet products.
It's not exactly unexpected that Bethenny has dropped the weight so fast. I'm sure she is regimented and maybe she is "obsessed", but grown women need to do what is right for them, rather than making themselves feel badly by comparing themselves to Bethenny (or a million other uber-skinny celeb moms who dropped the baby weight fast). Focus on health - not Bethenny. Do YOU, moms.
I lost all the baby within a month because I've always taken very good care of myself and worked out before I got pregnant and during the pregnancy. I'm assuming she did the same. Let's give her a break.
That along with about a pack of 5 of them who congregate down at the mall and start pulling out their tits all together in front of Sears
NOW ALL THE FAT ASSES WITH 5 years of " BABY FAT " WILL BE ENVIOUS AND ATACKING THE ONES THAT ARE DETERMINED TO DIET OR HAVE THE MONEY TO GET PLASTIC SURGERY. USA…
Ya know.. you love to pick on Bethenny, Perez… but I didn't hear you commenting on Heidi Klum when she shed all of her baby weight so fast. This is her job - leave her the fuck alone.
Didn't she have a 4 lb baby at full term? Why did she need a c-section for that? That would be a breeze pushing out a 4 pounder. lol, but I guess for those who are too posh to push, it isn't. She has always been thin though, so she also probably has the genes to lose quickly which helps. I had a c section with my second child (who was almost 10 lbs!) I ate right and exercise and I had such a hard time losing the weight , after my first it melted off, so you never know.
wow, whoever thinks she doesnt look good is crazy, yeah it may be 3 weeks after, SO WHAT! thats just bc shes not lazy, and bc she actually has the motivation to get back in shape after she had a baby! its not like she looks unhealthy!
I've had three children and lost all of my weight equally as fast. You want to know the big secret of how to do it?? Be skinny when you get pregnant and don't eat like a pig when pregnant!!! There ya go! Being pregnant does not give you the green light to eat like a hog!
It is not unattainable, that's for sure. If you take of yourself during pregnancy, keep up the exercise routine, and limit bad foods (for not only your health, but baby's) - the weight comes off pretty quickly. I've been told I'm thin "because you have two small children" REALLY?? Isn't that why some people say they are NOT thin anymore?!?
She is not the first one and will be not the last one to be that skinny after giving birth to a kid, many stars in hollywood went on magazine cover showing the world how skinny they are after giving birth 2 days prior to the photo shoot, best example is Heidi Klum to name one.
Shut the F up! It IS possible to lose the weight that quickly! I did after having two kids a year and a half a part! It's called not stuffing your face with whats ever in front of you while you are pregnant! Too many women use the pregnancy card to eat what ever they want! She's right about the water weight as well!
PS, not everyone is obese like the 80 % of women in this country.
There is nothing wrong with her speedy weight loss, you gain an extra liter of blood during pregnancy and other fluids! If she lost a lot of fat, good for her! Do you think that if 50% of the population has the resources and the ability to do the same they wouldn't just because the other 50% gets jealous/offended? That's like saying you wouldn't take a higher paying job because everyone else would be jealous/offended you're doing "better." Set standards for yourself so you don't get jealous and start spewing venom about someone you don't even know.
Wow, the woman is fit! I admire how she takes care of herself and even more during a pregnancy. She did not allow herself to balloon up like most women I've seen who allow pregnancy to become an excuse for overeating and giving into cravings. GOOD FOR HER!! Well, I know that some women may take care of themselves, but still gain a lot of weight & each person is different; however, Bethany's body is just incredibly fit! She has a great build and muscle tone.
Love her!
She had her baby 4 or 5 weeks premature and the baby didn't even weigh 5lbs! She is so full of herself and her image that she neglected her unborn baby and now she's gone and done something as crazy as this. She claims that she lost the weight under the supervision of a doctor. I do not know of any doctor that thinks that losing 30lbs in three weeks is healthy. She's a superficial wack job!
3 weeks after delievery I couldnt even walk staight let alone start working out!
Such haters!! I had a baby 5 weeks ago (2nd c-section) and am a size 2 already (not yet the size 0 that I was pre-pregnancy) without much effort. It's possible and not unhealthy. I guess all the fattys are just jelouse…take your anger energy to the treadmill!
Please. Not everyone gains a ton of weight they can't lose when they're pregnant. Some people are just that way.
I lost all of my baby weight (35 lbs) in 2 weeks after giving birth to both of my babies. It's not totally unheard of. I wasn't dieting or working out, it was just the natural way my body recovered.
Im a mother of two and I wish I coulda dropped weight that fast! Good for this broad!
Re: Tara77 – Learn how to spell.
I seriously can't stand this woman, or any of those NYC Housewives.
I don't understand why you hate her so much, she's a hard working woman who has focused her life on being a healthy person and she looks great! Just because she didn't sit around and do nothing after giving birth is no reason to criticize her.
Thw woman did something and is now famous… what is so fing wrong with that! It's the same thing you did Perez.
Re: Spindoc – Wrong on #3 spindoc. It's not Jersey, It's New York!!
WTF?? Yesterday was all kudos and today she is an ass? I think in this case you are the ass and a fat one too. Jerk…
It's not that hard to lose the weight quickly if you don't gain 80 lbs, I was very lucky that I only gained 25, most of it was gone in a few weeks after giving birth, my belly was mushy for a few months but I was skinnier than before I got pregnant. Give her a break!
Re: boxergal – To Posh to Push! Pretty judgemental don't you think. There are a million reasons why a c-section might be needed, none of which are To Posh To Push
Bethenny is awesome - leave her alone - she looks great and takes care of herself - congratulate her - don't diss her about it!
She doesn't look good though. Sounds a little bizarre saying she couldn't eat for two days after a C-section. These celebrities are so stupid.
Pre-pregnancy, she was underweight, plus, her baby was born pre-mature. Some women are "all belly" when pregnant. She actually looks healthy and happy which is good considering all the hormonal stuff that happens. Good for her.
meanwhile, who's worried about the health of this new child?
I still love her! Hope I lose my baby weight fast but won't be freaked out like the Fit woman was if I don't!
wait so its okay into fooling woman that fatass kendra wilkinson lost weight by posting a ridiculously photo shopped image on US weekly in a bikini saying "look how great i look after my baby!!!" when she in fact looks NOTHING like that??? Anyone with a brain that watches her show knows this. while she claims to eat healthy (by taking scoops of cake frosting and shoving it in her mouth or by shoveling handfuls of flavored popcorn in her mouth claiming "its just air") she's done nothing except sit on her ass and complain about how fat she is….. but this women ACTUALLY LOST the weight and we're criticizing her? you don't think its more detrimental to women to lie to them and tell them to "attain" something that THAT person (kendra) hasn't even attained herself?! get fucking real. instead of taking exercise and diet tips from a person who hasn't done shit, you might want to take tips from uh, i dunno…someone that has… just a thought
Re: saj071004 – yeah its true! you only need 200 extra calories a day. All that is, is a yogurt or some other healthy snack. I work with this chick and she is always blaming her weight on pregnancy except her youngest is 5!! Ok shouldnt take 5 years! All I had to do was cut sugar and white flour out and I got back in 7 months! Probably wouldnt have taken so long but I broke my ankle the week after my son was born so no exercise!
my mother was thin when she got pregnant and she swears she left the hospital with a concave stomach.
and i actually believe her.
baby weight isn't like regular weight. it comes off as it comes off - for some women it's fast, for others it's not. and breast feeding makes a big difference
big deal - she looks great, she seems happy.
can we talk about something more fun now?
Perez, i just recently had a baby and was never the skinny girl to begin with but two weeks after delivering him i was down 20lbs. Baby weight, swelling, it was all gone. It is possible. 2 months after delivery i had lost 35lbs in total. It is possible. I do hope she's doing it the healthy way. I know i ate but the weight just came off.
I love Bethenny. She looks great. Perez - you might want to lay off going off on her. We all know you outed her pregnancy. You should be grateful she got your name on Bravo. Come on. Don't look like a WATB.
Perez, you're such an ass. You praised her yesterday, yet you hate on her today? If this was some other celebrity, you'd be telling them how amazing they look. Because it's Bethenny, you have to be a dick. I've known plenty of women who dropped the weight extremely fast, because they only put on the pounds necessary for the baby. Their bodies got rid of the weight quick due to breastfeeding and most of the weight being in liquids and the baby itself. That's just the way some women's bodies are after having their baby. They bounce right back to pre-pregnancy weight in no time. Plus, she was extremely fit before getting pregnant and stayed healthy during, so it was probably pretty easy for her body to say goodbye to those extra pounds.
I dont even like the woman, and I think she looks great. Its her body, let her lose weight at the pace that works for her. I gained 20 pounds with my first pregnancy and lost it within a week of having my daughter. Its possible, it happens all the time, and good for her.
Re: DeadlyNightshade – ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON !!! Women blame us men for making them 'insecure' but it's actually other jealous women. Good for her if she lost weight , stop hating her ladies !!
I wish people would just chill out! Every person is different, every pregnancy is different. If she has the means to lose it that quickly than don't hate on her. Why are people so flippin sensitive these days? If you're old enough to get pregnant then you're old enough to know better than to binge or do something that puts your health in jeopardy.
So many celebrities do this — stop hating on Bethenny!
I read your blog everyday….I love you and you make me lol all the time however, I really don't understand your hatred obsession with Bethenny. I watch the show and I think she is amazing. She really doesn't bad mouth anyone and seems to be the most normal out of all the women on there. I think that sometimes you start disliking someone from the beginning and it's hard for you to stop…even if u have changed your mind. Maybe I am wrong but as I said…I love u too. I just think that u r way off on this one and maybe u should take a look at the other choices on the show and find a new one to hate on cuz she sho ain't the right one!! Also, I do realize that everyone needs a role model for everything but good lord, try Mother Teresa or just someone that dedicates their life to doing great things that are reality..not a great fun girl on a damn reality show…U go girl!! Good for you for doing what everyone wishes they could do in your situation.
Re: Pammie8 – omg I can only imagine how difficult that was for you with a newborn child and a broken ankle!!
Ok,
I had a baby a week ago and I lost 20 pounds already, but I do NOT look like that! WTF? Where's her "leftover" baby bump? Was she healthy at all during her pregnancy? THink she got a tummy tuck while they did her C-section?
Why should I leave a comment, you wont post it
I love Bethenny, The new mom's just need to focus on themselves and not her, just like what shes doing, haha
Oh Please! This Is A Healthy *High Maintenance* Jewish Girl Who Does Not Have An Ounce of Fat on Her! Pics of Her @ 9 Months? She's Totally Carrying Out Front and Nowhere else … It's Amazing What Rags & Jealousy Can Create … I'm not a Fan, but I Think She's Got Some Sass, & Appreciate She Went After A Life (Having A Man She Loved & Children of Her Own) Dare 2 Dream Huh? Go Bethany!
"was water retention exacerbated by a C-section", wait, what? I thought she "went into labor" a month early? Now we're hearing it was a C-section. Well, duh! Of COURSE she had an elective C-section a month before her due date- the goal always being to not gain too much weight, and be able to lose it quickly.
Re: Realgirl10423 – THANK YOU!!!! He used to love her…I bet its from the episode bout him leaking her pregnancy…Well, she had a right to be pissed..Its so juvenille to attack her so suddenly. Kelly attacks her ALL the time, so has Jill and she ALWAYS has class.
People are getting ticked off at her because this is America..Where 60% of people are overweight and of that 60%, 30% is obese. Skinny chicks are in the minority so fat out of shape women have to call her out on it and of course it works because its 60% VS's 40%
people are just hating because she stayed fit throughout her pregnancy and was able to kick the baby weight fast… it's very attainable people! Get over it. Maybe if we all weren't such fat asses, then we'd realize you're not supposed to balloon just because you got a bun in the oven. She looks fabulous and is a great, healthy mommy role model.
Why wasn't all this negative criticism directed at Heidi Klum or Gisele? Or all the other celebrity mommy's that lose all the prego pounds just a few weeks after pregnancy? I'm a mother of three, who is still struggling to get the weight off, do I think she's a bad person for showing off her figure? No, I'd be proud of myself too! Staying fit and eating healthy during a pregnancy is tough! More power to her for staying healthy!
Leave her alone! I have had two kids and with each baby I lost my baby fat in 1-2 months! If you are healthy before and during you will be healthy after. There are little things that stick around after having kids that you have to work on but unless you were a fatty before and never worked out… You are going to go back to the way your body was.
Every woman/pregnancy is different. I was overweight when I concieved and the day after I gave birth, I was 40 pounds lighter than when I got pregnant, AND my baby was 8 pounds 12 ounces!
I had a c-section and less than 12 hours later my doctor said it was fine to eat whatever I wanted.
Either she expects people to buy her 'no eating for days' crap or she seriously had one fucked up doctor
Listen up… naturally thin people lose the baby weight way faster than fatties like me who 15 months after a c-section still need to lose 20 of the 62 pounds I gained. She's just lucky and shit… it's part of her business to be thin. Who cares?
oh please! It took me a year to get back into a bathing suit after my 1st child. With my second….I was wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes in a week. Everybody and every pregnancy is different. Good for her!!!!!
I love how you say how beautiful she looks in your last post and praised her, and now your calling her an ass, make up your mind you catty bitch.
Bethenny is one of the only real ones on that show, Jill is bitch who doesnt know her place and spills the beans on everyones private news… hmm kinda like you… no wonder your friends!
so your alterior motives to hate on Bethenny shine right threw, you both need to get a hobby!
Can someone fill me in on what the F Perez's problem is with Bethenny? Did she do something personal to him?? Did I miss a memo? FILL ME IN, please!
Can someone fill me in on what the F Perez's problem is with Bethenny?? Did I miss a memo? Fill me in, please!!!
Re: chaot1c – LOL yeah it was quite the challenge getting around and getting my son around. The first 1 and a half I wasnt going nowhere because that chiz hurt! So my hubby had to do alot of the leg work.
How is it that all of sudden we're ridiculing people for taking care of themselves and not using pregnancy as an excuse to be fat? Just because she lost the weight doesn't mean she's unhealthy or a famewhore. It's not unattainable, and women should feel inspired not threatened.
I LOVE BETHENNY!
I DONT GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT THIS BITCH…..UGHHHHH
seriously??
what about all the other stars that lost weight quick?
just b/c she's a housewife??
what about octomom?
if she can lose all that weight, ANY WOMAN can.
