Your baby has come and she is the cutest baby in the world but you think that now is the time to join the 'Losing Belly Fat after Pregnancy' club. The initiation, well, you just paid it and the dues are what you want to put in to it. That does not mean that it is all down hill from here, far from it, however, your body will recover. Your body can recover more quickly when you follow a few simple ideas.
1. Make sure that you breast feed, if you are able. This helps your baby and it helps you to lose weight. Did you know that? They don't really know why, it just does. Drink lots of water. Breastfeeding makes you want to eat more and that's not what you want to be doing so drinking that water when you wake up and before each meal helps you to feel full and you will not eat as much.
2. Clean up your cupboards and refrigerator. Get rid of all those food stuffs that you know are not good for you. You don't need them and you will be doing fine with the items that are listed in any good diet book. So, eat healthy!
3. While you are eating healthier eat more often. No, I don't mean to chow down at each of 4 - 5 meals a day. You need to be thinking about eating less, more often. This little bit at a time, along with the water should keep you feeling full most of the time.
4. Take a little time when you can to learn about nutrition. Find out a little bit more about the foods that are good for you and ensure that you think through your menu items, again.
5. Metabolic enhancers turn your body into a fat burner! (Chili, for example)
6. Don't dread exercising, now. You have a buddy to go with you on your walks! You probably got a stroller at one of those baby showers, get it out! You can get your heart rate up to the proper place for your body type form the needed 30 minutes and you can have that heart to heart with your youngish at the same time. Some of the modern strollers with allow you to jog a little as well.
7. There is always safety in numbers, so if you have someone else to go with by all means do so. This can be motivating factor, as well. Take your doctors advice for all of this exercise stuff.
8. While we are talking about exercises, make sure that the ones that you do early on, say, before your 12th week after... is not high impact. You should not be bouncing and jumping a lot.
