I have had three kids now, and I have been having the hardest time getting my stomach flat again. I just seem to have this extra weight right around my mid section, which makes sense since that is where I carry the baby. But I have heard that doing a colon cleansing diet can really help when it comes to getting rid of all the extra weight around the middle. It has a lot to do with internal back up, and not necessarily extra fat that has built up, thought that can contribute. I just know it must be something internal.
