Call it the mystery of the vanishing baby bulk.

This month, Internet gossip sites gushed over Beyonce's rapid weight loss after giving birth to her baby daughter, Blue Ivy, revealing photos of the slender "Single Ladies" star in form-fitting dresses and sexy swimsuits.

It is a trick that Carly Kirsch, who delivered two children in three years, wished she could have pulled off. "The weight didn't come off as quickly as I hoped," the Cheshire resident said. "I tried low calorie diets, exercising more -- everything under the sun."

A lot of celebrity moms magically morph into their pre-baby shape within weeks of leaving the hospital, she added, "but for most women, it's not realistic."

Indeed, it takes most women six to nine months to shed the excess poundage put on during their pregnancies -- a fact they need to keep in mind, even as they're bombarded by images of strikingly svelte, postpartum stars, experts said.

Kirsch, owner of Newly Nested, a Connecticut-based baby planning and consulting service, said celebrities such as Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Bethenny Frankel enjoy a "support system" -- a team of nannies, trainers and personal chefs -- that isn't available to the average child bearer.

"You have to take that into perspective," she said, adding that "it's more practical to lose the weight a little bit at a time."

New moms pack on an average of 25 to 30 extra pounds during their pregnancy, said Barbara Schmidt, nutrition and lifestyle specialist at Norwalk Hospital who heads the organization's Transformations weight-loss program. If they stick to a diet and exercise plan, they can safely lose 1.5 pounds per week.

But that's often easier said than done, Schmidt said. After all, new moms have enough to think about. So they must make it a point to treat themselves right, Schmidt said. She urged them to avoid empty calories from juice, soda, cookies and candy and stick to healthy choices such as skim milk, water, lean meats and vegetables.

"You want to make sure to eat a well-balanced diet and, over time, you'll start to see the difference," she added.

Aishwarya Rai, a gorgeous Bollywood actress who has been dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world is garnering harsh criticism for not losing her baby weight fast enough.

In perhaps one of the most telling stories about the American obsession with weight, Rai has suffered the cruel attentions of the people of India, who are comparing her to Hollywood actresses like Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham, saying she should have lost the weight by now even though she just gave birth to her daughter in November.

She is a Bollywood actress and it is her duty to look good and fit, one person commented on a photo of Rai that has made rounds on the web. The photo shows the actress before-and-after pregnancy and has sparked a wave of negative comments about her appearance.

Aishwarya is like a goddess, said columnist Shobhaa De. She is held up as the ideal of beauty and so there is an expectation on her to look perfect at all times.

Rai has said shes in no hurry to lose the baby weight and just wants to enjoy motherhood. She also recognizes that the American views on womens bodies is pretty flawed and shouldnt apply to everyone, and many are applauding her for it.

The role models being held up are Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham, but our body frames are different we have wider hips and curves so this whole business of looking desperately skinny two weeks after giving birth is a western import, she said.

Supermodel Tyra Banks recently wrote an open letter to The Daily Beast regarding Vogue Magazines ban on anorexic-looking models, saying its a huge step for our culture to recognize that not every woman needs to be a size zero, and some go to extremes to attain an unnatural figure.

WASHINGTON In an age of long commutes, late sports practices, endless workdays and 24/7 television programming, the image of Mom hanging up her dish towel at 7 p.m. and declaring the kitchen is closed seems a quaint relic of an earlier era.

It also harks back to a thinner America. And that may be no coincidence.

A new study, conducted on mice, hints at an unexpected contributor to the nations epidemic of obesity and, if later human studies bear it out, a possible way to have our cake and eat it too, with less risk of weight gain and the diseases that come with it.

Just eat your cake or better yet, an apple earlier. Then wait 16 hours, until the next morning, to eat again.

We have to come up with something that is a simple alternative to calorie counting, said Satchidananda Panda, a regulatory biologist at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif., who led the study published online Thursday by the journal Cell Metabolism.

Panda and his team put groups of mice on different eating regimens for 100 days. Animals in two of the groups dined on high-fat, high-calorie chow. Half of them were allowed to eat whenever they wanted, and nibbled on and off throughout the night and day. The other mice had access to food only for eight hours at night, when they were most active.

The difference was astonishing. Even though they ate a high-fat diet, the mice who wrapped up their eating day early and were forced to fast for 16 hours were lean almost as lean as mice in a control group who ate regular chow. But the mice who noshed on high-fat chow around the clock became obese, even though they consumed the same amount of fat and calories as their counterparts on the time-restricted diet.

It is suggestive that scholars in the diabetes, obesity and other areas related to heart disease need to test this issue further in animals and humans, said Barry Popkin, nutrition expert at the University of North Carolina.

DALLAS

This is Texas--where big is good and bigger is even better. Now according to a new diet plan called Volumetrics when it comes to food--you can fill up big time and do it on fewer calories.

Studies find that how much we eat makes us feel fuller than the actual calorie content in the food.

Blair McDonald is a nanny trying to drop a few pounds before her October wedding.

She's dieting for the first time.

"It's scary, Blair said. It's my first opportunity to actually try one and try to stick with it."

Blair isn't on the Volumetrics diet--but close.

She's eating larger meals with fewer calories and feeling satisfied.

"For example, Blair said. Normally I'd have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, now I'm having fruit, a salad, a few sliced of turkey so I'm eating more I guess but I'm also eating so much healthier"

Blair is volumizing and didn't even know it.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV) -- Washington University is conducting a study on obesity and is asking participants to gain weight. In return they will be paid thousands of dollars.

As a part of the study on obesity, the school is offering participants the opportunity to eat all the fast food they want every day for three months. Theyll even get paid $3,500 for it.

The only catch? They have to gain five percent of their body weight during the duration of the study.

By choosing fast foods, we can regulate that food intake much better than trying to tell people to try and decide on their own eating food at home, which requires judgment and educations on what youre eating, said Dr. Sam Klein with Washington University. By going to eat fast food, we know exactly what theyre eating.

The point of the study is to determine why some overweight people develop diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors, while others do not.

Heres the criteria to take part:

Khloe Kardashian has managed to lose 20lbs in 20 days according to her latest cover shoot, which shows off her incredible weight loss, but the reality star can't stop herself from covering her abs.

The 27-year-old has admitted to having issues with her weight, and was even called out by her momager Kris Jenner during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where she was told to lose weight.

Now Life & Style Weekly magazine, shows off a stunning picture of Khloe Kardashian showing off her new bikini body with the caption: "How I got thin, fast!". But what's wrong with the picture? While most people who've dropped their weight, Khloe is still shielding her stomach.

According to reports, its thought that Khloe has actually really lost the weight after hiring a personal chef to cook her some healthy meals. Khloe has said of her weight in the past: "My weight is always going up and down. I'm always fighting that and I feel like no matter what I do, I don't look good enough to everybody else.

"My weight is my biggest lifetime struggle. It's not the biggest thing in life, but it does get you down sometimes."

Culinary Intelligence tells the story of one New York magazine food writer who dropped 40 pounds and still managed to live life to the fullest.

The Next Web/flickr

In the mid-1990s, Peter Kaminsky, a self-proclaimed hedonist, landed the perfect gig. As the writer behind New York magazine's "Underground Gourmet" column, he was paid to patrol the outer reaches of the boroughs in search of the tastiest ethnic fare. When he wasn't sampling Vietnamese, Korean, Greek, Cuban, or West Indian cuisine, his duty was to discover little-known, up-and-coming restaurants. And as the magazine's go-to food writer, Kaminsky was also called upon whenever the likes of Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse, or Thomas Keller opened a new bastion of four-star-fare. Some of New York's greatest chefs hired him as a co-writer (and taster-in-chief) for their cookbooks.

There was one occupational hazard. When Kaminsky, who is five foot-nine, became the Underground Gourmet, he weighed 172 pounds and wore trousers with 34-inch waistbands. After a few years on the job, he had crossed the 200-pound line and struggled to wiggle into XL T-shorts and 38-inch pants. The wake-up call came when his life insurance renewal was denied. "The choice was clear," he writes. "Mend my munching or fast-forward to Judgment Day."

And mend he did, shedding 40 pounds, getting his blood sugar levels under control, and regaining his insurance policy. Culinary Intelligence is the story of how he accomplished what many dieticians say is impossible: losing weight and keeping it off.

"Intelligence" is the operative word. Kaminsky tells his story with engaging, thoughtful prose--no gimmicky diets, no impossible-to-follow menu plans. He believes in gratification, not denial. "For a change in diet to succeed, it must be at least as satisfying as the unheathful fast food and processed ingredients that it replaces," he writes. In fact, one of the reasons he decided to lose weight was so that he could look forward to many more years of drinking great wines and eating juicy steaks.

The guiding principle to eating intelligently (and with full pleasure) according to Kaminsky is by maximizing what he calls Flavor per Calorie, or FPC. FPC simply means consuming the very best food and drink you can get. Beer, which Kaminsky still enjoys, provides a good example of FPC in action. Guzzling a Coors fails to quench that beer-y thirst, so you pop another can. On the other hand, a full-bodied, hoppy, yeasty craft brew invites you to sip and savor its complexity. One bottle leaves you satisfied, and packs no more calories than a bland, industrial brew. The intense flavor of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables satisfies; there's no need for high-calorie sauces and sweeteners to breathe life into out-of-season produce. A modest portion of grass-fed beef delivers more satisfaction than the dreary meat from industrial feedlots. And -- critically -- cooking those ingredients well (or living with someone who does) maximizes FPC.

Although there are few outright taboos in Culinary Intelligence, Kaminsky does point out areas where those trying to shed pounds go at their peril. If you want to lose weight, Kaminsky has three words of advice: "No white stuff," meaning white flour, white sugar, white rice, and potatoes. He suggests you avoid desserts and sweetened beverages. All forms of processed food are antithetical to FPC. And he suggests you examine your diet for high value targets to eliminate. In Kaminsky's case, it was pizza. As a pizza-loving writer working from home in Brooklyn -- a pizza paradise -- he was in the habit of nipping out at midday and heading to one of the many good parlors in his neighborhood. A little calculation showed that his pizza habit added the equivalent of two extra days' worth of calories to his weekly diet -- he was eating nine days' worth of food every seven. Daily sojourns to the pizza parlor became a thing of the past, although he occasionally picks up a slice as a special treat.

Liquor can be part of intelligent eating -- in moderation. Kaminsky urges readers to set limits and stick to them. After some introspection, Kaminsky decided that he could survive on one glass of wine with dinner, where his earlier self might have enjoyed three or four. One glass forced him to savor every precious drop and increased the satisfaction he got from wine.

In the end, eating mindfully rests on three commonsense pillars:

ROANOKE COUNTY, VA --

In 10 On Your Side Health Team -an update on the local spin-off to NBC's "The Biggest Loser.

As we've reported The Green Ridge Rec Center in Roanoke County is sponsoring the "Lose Big" program.

Katie Cordani is getting better and better at the exercises her trainer has planned for each work out.

She's on her feet, her back, and even her hands fighting to drop weight.

The mother of three says, she's winning the battle.

"I went out and bought smaller clothes this weekend. I was so excited, I was expecting to buy larges and I was putting on mediums and they were comfortable and they were actually kind of loose and was like this is so cool, I was so excited. I texted my mom as I was in the dressing room," Cordani said.

Katie had that priceless moment in the dressing room thanks to a lot of sweat at the gym.

Her trainer, Chelsea Arner, says she's working Katie harder and she's complaining a lot less.
