Although it can take some women years to recover their pre-pregnancy bodies, and some find that they never quite "snap back," Instagram fitness star and certified trainer Massy Arias is not one of those women. She recently Instagramed a photo of herself 40 weeks pregnant next to one taken nine days after giving birth. If Massy's newborn baby weren't in the photo, you'd never guess that the trainer gave birth less than two weeks ago:

"This post isn't intended to set any expectations or to be negative. We all have different journeys," Massy wrote in her caption, which also explains exactly how she transformed her figure in just nine days without stepping foot in the gym. (She is still recovering from natural childbirth, after all.) "I just eat whole and eat well," Massy wrote.

For her, "eating well" means counting macros (aka eating the right mix of protein, carbs, and fats for your body type and goals) and depriving herself of absolutely nothing. "It's amazing what you can do when you know specifically what to eat," she says.

She also drinks lots of fluids about a gallon a day made up of mostly water and eats an extra 600 to 800 calories per day to support her milk supply, now that she's breastfeeding. (FWIW, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say most breastfeeding women need just 450 to 500 extra calories per day.)

Understandably, Massy's fans can't quite wrap their heads around her lightening-fast transformation, although they generally applaud her. "You earned every inch of that amazing post baby body!" one commented on her post. See, Massy worked out right through her pregnancy like the mom boss she is, lifting heavy and doing high-intensity interval training plus yoga and a bit of her signature dancing, as she does at the end of most of her fitness videos.

Despite the fact that the trainer has been transparent about her fitness-focused lifestyle throughout her entire pregnancy, haters gonna hate: "Awesome liposuction suction [sic] after 9 days boo great surgeon," one person commented on Massy's postnatal post. But a loyal fan came to Massy's rescue, chiming in with a simple clap back: "You know how fit she was and is. Shame on you," the commenter wrote.

Luckily, Massy never lets petty shit get her down, and isn't about to start, particularly now that she's got more important things to worry about and celebrate!

Like a breath of fresh air who do you think she looks like? Update: been really in a limbo trying to figure this out. Waking up every two hrs to breastfeed or may I say, syringe feed until I can recover from the bad latching. They don't prepare you for how hard it is to breastfeed but I'm getting the hang of it. I though a natural water birth was going to be a challenge, but this is the most emotionally and physical "workout" I've ever done thus far... I had a back labor and managed to push her out in 20 mins. I will not lie if I said it didn't hurt but I would do it again. I had an awesome doula and midwife team. I must say @willy_beamen was a big part of coping with labor (I am so blessed to have such a great husband, he's so awesome). I will post a postpartum pic to show you guys. Anyway, I just need a few more days...oh yes I do! HAPPY SUNDAY MY LOVES ____________________________________________________________ Como un soplo de aire fresco a quin crees que se parece? : He estado realmente en un limbo tratando de navegar este nuevo cambio en mi vida. Despertar cada dos horas para amamantar y usando una jeringa hasta recuperarme de dar el seno. No te preparan para lo difcil que es amamantar, pero estoy aprendiendo y mejorando cada da. Pensaba que dar a luz natural iba a ser un reto, pero este "entrenamiento" ha sido el ms emocional y fsico que he hecho hasta el momento ... llegue a mi partera con 8cm dilatada y logre empujarla en 20 minutos. No voy a mentir si les digo que no doli, pero yo lo hara de nuevo. Tuve un equipo impresionante de parteras y Doula. Debo decir @willy_beamen fue una gran parte de hacer frente al dolor de parto ( soy muy dichosa de tener un gran marido, l es tan impresionante). Voy a publicar una foto postparto para mostrarles que tal va todo. De todos modos, slo necesito unos das ms ... oh s...unos das donde pueda dormir! Feliz domingo mis amores ________________________________________
