INTRODUCTION: How to
use Professor Trim’s Quick
Start Weight-loss Program
for New Mothers and
Mothers-to-be
The Professor Trim’s (PT) Quick Start program in this
book is an introduction to effective weight loss, and a life-
time of weight management, for new mothers and mothers-
to-be. It differs from other pregnancy advice in that it’s
aimed mainly at mothers—although never neglecting the
health of the baby. Most information for new mums,
you’ll find, is focused on the health of the child. And
while no one would deny the importance of this, the
ongoing health of the mother often seems to be forgotten.
Pregnancy and childbirth are critical periods for weight
gain in women and the weight that’s gained at these times
is often difficult to lose over the long term. Since excess
body weight can be a health risk, it’s crucial that all the
best available scientific information be put into helping
women at these stages in their life. This doesn’t mean
ignoring the needs of the baby. Indeed, as we will see,
maintaining ideal weight and good health in the mother
is likely to improve childbirth outcomes. The Professor
Trim program is designed to do just that.

PROFESSOR TRIM’S—THE HISTORY
Professor Trim’s evolved from the ‘GutBuster’ program,
which started as a men’s ‘waist-loss’ program in 1991.
GutBusters became the biggest, and most successful,
men’s weight-loss program in the world. It had an inter-
nationally acclaimed scientific advisory board and was
consistently rated by consumer groups as among the best
weight-loss programs available.
Initially designed for men, GutBusters soon devel-
oped a program for women. Hence the Professor Trim’s
range of programs—for men and women, and these
Quick Start versions.
Several thousand Australian doctors (see www
.
professortrim.com) have had special training in weight
control as part of a Postgraduate Medical Certificate in
Weight Control and Obesity Management from Sydney
University. These doctors, and the Professor Trim’s
Medically Supervised Weight-Loss Program, can help new
mums through a shared-care system that provides the
best information available on weight loss and weight
management.
MORE PROFESSOR TRIM’S ADVICE
More intensive individual programs will continue the
quick start to weight loss you’ll get from this program.
Information about the full Professor Trim’s programs are
contained in the back of this bookset. You can also
purchase these directly from your PT doctor and work
with him or her through the full twelve months of the
program, or longer.
The way to get the greatest benefit from this Quick
Start new mum’s program is first to read the book. You
can then access regular updates on current research and
NEW MOTHERS AND MOTHERS-TO-BE

information from the Professor Trim Internet site at
www
.professortrim.com. At the end of each chapter in
this booklet you will find an easy-to-follow summary of
its contents, contained in a Professor Trim’s Prescription
Pad. Use these summaries as your checklist for putting
the program into action.
STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM
The information contained in this book is divided into
two parts. The first part, ‘Background’, provides a
summary of general weight loss information—nutrition,
physical activity and stress management in particular—
to set the stage for modifications to this with mother-
hood. The second part, ‘Motherhood’, discusses the specific
requirements for weight management before, during and
after pregnancy. The reason that both the ‘before’ and
‘during’ pregnancy periods are considered so important
here is that taking preventable action in these stages can
make long-term weight control after childbirth much
more manageable.
Best results are likely to be achieved by fully preparing
for weight management in the pre-pregnancy, ‘before’
phase. Since about half of all pregnancies are unplanned,
however, we appreciate this is not always possible. Hence
actions taken during pregnancy might represent the first
attempt to deal with a weight problem. Where action is
left until after delivery, the problem becomes more diffi-
cult, but not impossible to solve. Women reading this
who have already put on weight after giving birth should
consider all of the advice as part of their preparation
for any future pregnancies. For those who have finished
their family, the complete Professor Trim’s ‘Becoming
Slimmer’ program for women is another alternative.
