Instructions to Lose Pregnancy Weight

The fastest and most comfortable way to lose pregnancy weight is to make a decision to breastfeed. Mother Nature gives an easy out! 

Breastfeeding will contract the uterus which will help your uterus go back to its pre-pregnancy size. Also, breastfeeding will burn up from 500 to 800 additional calories a day.

Eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want!  Since you are no longer eating for two, adjust the amount of calories you eat back to your pre-pregnancy calorie intake. 

Eat fruits and vegetables, as much as you want but reduce the amount of sweets, particularly chocolate (if you are breastfeeding, since the caffeine isn’t good for the baby.) Eat low fat meat. Keep healthy snacks available in your refrigerator and kitchen cabinets.  This will help you to lose pregnancy weight.

Visit your doctor and see if it is OK for you to start a workout routine.  If it is OK for you to workout then start by stretching so you won’t risk pulling any muscles or cramping up.

After you finish your stretching then warm up before you start your workout routine.  When you start your workout, start off slowly, especially if you had a C-section.

If you are breastfeeding, you may chose to workout after breastfeeding as your breasts will be less full and it will be more comfortable for you.

Drink at least 8 glasses water a day.  Beside being healthy for your body it will also give you a feeling a fullness and reduce the about of calories that you eat.

Walking is a very good way to tone your body and it will help you to lose those unwanted pounds.  You may choose to bring the baby in a carriage or if you have a babysitter or on you walk alone and walk at a faster pace to burn more calories.

Keep your positive attitude and know that it took 9 months to put the pregnancy weight on and it will take up to 9 months to take it off.
