The birth of your child is a huge event and it brings great joy
and excitement into the family. As a mom, you are probably left with
more than a new baby to deal with. Any women puts on weight during the
pregnancy and once you've given birth, it can be a real struggle to lose
your baby fat.
The big secret to losing your pregnancy weight is
to start as soon as you can. If you are breastfeeding you need to take
particular care of your diet and many FAD diets are not recommended.
Here are 3 great tips to help you get started.
1. Jogging Strollers
Exercise is still the best way to lose your excess weight but the problem with a newborn is that your constant and undivided attention is needed. This is why a jogging stroller can be a great investment. It will allow you to safely take your baby along when you go for a jog and its also a great way to get yourself out if the house. These strollers are designed to deal with rugged terrains and they are very safe to use.
2. Mothers Groups
Connecting with other moms who also have newborns can be a great way to lose weight. What you can do is to team up with 3 or 4 other moms and organize child care while you spend an hour a day in the gym. In several cities now there are "baby boot-camps" where personal trainers team up with baby sitters to provide an all inclusive service. Time and childcare is often the biggest problem which is why this can be so effective.
3. Healthy Eating
Okay, so we all know that you have to "eat right" if you want to lose weight but its often easier said than done. A new baby in the house can eat up all your time and you will often not have the time or energy to cook proper food. This where you have to employ your other half and make cooking proper food a priority. Always remember that you are not in this alone. Get your partner to help out. Going on a fast food and takeaway diet after pregnancy is a real recipe for disaster.
