Geri’s baby diet
I was just reading about how Geri Hallowell dropped 35 pounds in a month after the birth of her daughter. I know that the weight generally comes off rather quickly with your first, but isn’t 35 pounds kind of dangerous?
Maybe times have changed since I went through the losing the post baby weight, but if nothing else, where would she get the energy to lose weight that quickly??

Didn’t all the Spice Girls have eating disorders? I hope she’s not experiencing the same issues again.
I think the 35 pounds includes the baby, the placenta, all the extra fluid that accumulates in the body and the calories needed to start breastfeeding.
With my first, I lost all the weight I gained while pregnant by the time I was 3 weeks postpartum plus 2 pounds. That was 14 kg or about 30 pounds. But that was a fit and active pregnancy with one hour a day of walking or swimming. After my second pregnancy, I am still overweight as a result of low-activity and not being able to exercise as much with two kids. Pushing the stroller is great exercise, but not when your three year-old wants to stop and investigate every ant hill while out walking.
