A Mom's Guide to Ab Rehab

You love your kid. The wobbly tummy she left you with? Not so much. But being a mom doesn't have to mean saying sayonara to your pre-kid stomach. Small switches to your diet, workout routine, and lifestyle can make over your middle. Mix and match your choice of the following tips for a trimmer waist in no time.

Sleep deprivation affects hormones that regulate your appetite, so if you don't get enough shut-eye you'll find yourself hungrier the next day.
