ONE: Get Started While You’re Pregnant
If you are still pregnant, it is normal to gain
weight, but that shouldn’t allow you to throw
caution to the wind and start eating chocolate
cake for breakfast or a family-size bag of chips
for an afternoon snack. You will have cravings,
and you should indulge yourself from time to time,
but prudence now pays back greatly later on.
Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you
can be a couch potato. Walk around the block
once or twice a day. This will benefit you and the
baby by getting your blood flowing and getting
fresh air into your lungs.
TWO: Nature Gives Weight-Loss Advantages
Once the baby is born, there’s an immediate loss
of 11-13 lbs. Br.eastfeeding will also help you
lose weight, using up to 800 calories a day. And
after you’ve allowed your body to recuperate
(about 4-6 weeks) so that you can start
exercising, a little bit of weight training will go a
long way to helping you lose weight.
Guess what? You don’t have to join a gym or buy
weights. Your baby is weight enough. Hold the
baby to your chest and do lunges. Lunge behind
the stroller as you walk. On your back, hold your
baby above your chest and do presses toward the
ceiling.
THREE: To Lose Weight Get Plenty of Rest
If your baby is sleeping, so should you. A baby’s
needs can impose strange sleep cycles on adults
and this can upset the metabolism and this
makes it hard to lose pregnancy weight. Sleeping
when the baby sleeps will allow you to avoid any
long-term sleep deficits. That will keep your
energy levels high and help keep sugar cravings
for energy in check.
If you don’t get enough sleep, you won’t have the
energy to keep yourself moving through your
waking hours, much less want to work out or get
your exercise.
FOUR: Consider Natural Weight Loss Remedies
Many ingredients included in weight loss
supplements are not approved for women who are
pregnant or nursing. Consider some natural
weight loss foods that will stem your hunger or
affect your metabolism in a healthy way. Not all
of these may set well with you, but give some a
try.
Taking lime and honey in water a couple times a
day is a natural weight loss remedy.
Green tea has excellent properties that help
weight loss. Drink it often during the day.
A cabbage dish once a day is good for weight
loss – low in calories and high in fibre.
FIVE: Join the Company of Other Mothers
Misery loves company may be clue here. Not only
good for moral support and sympathetic
conversation, but you can also see what other
mothers are doing that works for them. A mom
who is on a second or third child can impart a lot
of wisdom to a first timer.
Also, it might be easier to take up jogging or
going through a video workout routine if you have
some others in your situation doing it with you.
SIX: S.ex Is Still Good
Every healthy woman knows that se.x is good
and a recent pregnancy should not forestall
having an emotionally and physically good time.
You will want to have healed enough, usually four
to six weeks, so that there is no discomfort; but
try to get back into the pleasure of things as
soon as possible.
You will want to regain good control of your
bladder and strengthen your pelvic floor and Kegel
exercises will help with that.
SEVEN: B.reast Feeding
B.reastfeeding- Not Everyones magic weight loss
pill
A magic pill this is not! It can work for some
women but this tends to be when women have
put minimal extra pregnancy kilo’s on. For some
women due to post pregnancy hormones their
bodies will hold on to a couple of kilos regardless
of exercise and diet until they have finished
br.eastfeeding.
I believe for br.eastfeeding to assist with weight
loss it needs to be done for 6 months or more.
Women who have exercised during pregnancy will
lose weight quickly anyhow with or without
br.eastfeeding.
EIGHT: Protein
Making sure you eat protein i.e. quality meats,
eggs, full fat dairy and nuts, at every snack and
meal post birth. It will not only help to produce
better quality br.east milk but protein repairs
muscle tissue promoting optimal recovery.
NINE: Hydration
You need to drink a lot of water if you are
br.eastfeeding staying hydrated also helps to
clear excess pregnancy fluid left behind, your body
can’t rid itself of all that extra pregnancy fluid
overnight.
Keep hydrated to reduce fatigue, quench thirst
and produce plenty of milk!
TEN: Limit Sugar
You may hear that you can eat whatever you
want whilst you are br.eastfeeding and that
br.eastfeeding by itself will help you lose weight,
this is certainly not the case for everyone!
Yes you need extra calories whilst nursing and
you should definitely not go hungry but it is no
excuse to indulge in sugary foods in particular
and over eat!
