The following could be one of my all time favorite emails that I have ever received. It was from a friend of the family who had used Eat Stop Eat to get rid of her post-pregnancy baby fat.
The reason I like this email so much is because it outlines some of the amazing benefits of Eat Stop Eat.
Firstly, for many women the extra fat that sticks around after pregnancy (often called baby-fat or post-pregnancy fat) can be a source of anxiety and can really hurt a women’s self-esteem.
After carrying around a baby for 9 months, most women feel the urge to get back into shape after they have given birth.
Unfortunately, with a new baby comes new responsibility and more time commitments. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first or fifth child; every new child takes a lot of your time!
And this is where Eat Stop Eat fits in.
Firstly, it doesn’t take any time.
Zero.
There is no preparing special foods, special shopping lists or trips to go and buy special supplements. There is nothing. In fact, Eat Stop Eat can actually help give you MORE TIME while helping you lose baby fat at the very same time!
Secondly, if you want it to be, Eat Stop Eat can be a very private diet. No one needs to know that you are dieting, or that you are trying to lose your post-pregnancy baby fat. Really, this is no one’s business but your own. With Eat Stop Eat you won’t be carrying around Tupperware containers full of diet food, or eating special diet bars. You can keep it all to yourself.
Lastly, Eat Stop Eat seems to work incredibly well for getting rid of Baby Fat. My wife followed Eat Stop Eat after our first child to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight, and is now following Eat Stop Eat after the birth of our second child. And, as you can see below, Lindsay also found great results using Eat Stop Eat to get rid of her Baby fat.

Hi Brad,
I'm not even sure if you knew I was doing Eat Stop Eat, I didn't really mention it to many people, not for any particular reason, except that I just usually keep eating and exercise routines to myself unless someone asks.
You may or may not know, but during my pregnancy with Owen I gained a LOT of weight. It was/is extremely stressful for me and gave me substantial motivation to lose it all.
I began Eat Stop Eat in November '08 and I am still following it. I've mixed Eat Stop Eat with a resistance training and intervals program and so far I've managed to lose 72 pounds since my heaviest weight during my pregnancy. I've set a weight goal that is actually less than my pre-pregnancy weight and I was going to email you when I reached that goal, just to let you know that Eat Stop Eat worked for me! But since I'm pretty close to the goal anyway, I'm emailing you now.
I am proud of how far I've come so far, but it's still a little tender for me to discuss specific numbers of pounds gained during my pregnancy. I am willing to share photos if you need some. I don't have any crazy photos of myself in a bikini or anything, but I have a photo of my at the hospital with Owen the day he was born and I like to call myself unrecognizable in it. I'd be willing to send you a photo of myself once I reach my final weight goal
I hope this helps you Brad. Eat Stop Eat has truly helped me in many ways.
Please let me know if you need any further details and/or if you would like me to send you pictures. I'm willing to help in any way I can.
Thanks,
Lindsay
