< < < Weight Loss Advice
When you are pregnant you normally will gain on average approximately 25 to 30 pounds. When the baby is born, however you may find yourself needing to lose about 25 to 30 pounds of excess weight shortly after giving birth. If you eat as close to natural as much as you possibly can is one of the best ways that you can lose weight after your pregnancy and be able to keep it off. To put it simply you will see better results for a longer period of time when you are steering clear of the processed foods and focus on making wise and healthy food choices.
1. Fruits:
Any type of fruit whether its natural or canned are great for helping you shed extra weight. The fruits are low in sodium and therefore they are also good for reducing your risks of heart disease as well as high blood pressure. The canned or frozen fruit are a great choice because you will not have to eat them right away as you would with the fresh fruit. They are just as nutritious and good for you.
2. Vegetables:
Vegetables will also help reduce the chances of high cholesterol and blood pressure. They also help destroy cancer causing radicals and are full of fiber. They can be eaten fresh, canned or frozen because they are packaged to seal in the much needed vitamins and minerals. You can lose some of the vital nutrients however so you will need to be careful how you cook them.
3. Breastfeeding:
Breastfeeding may actually aid in your weight loss. This is because breastfeeding releases certain hormones into your body that will help your uterus contract and return to its pre-pregnancy size and shape faster than a woman who does not breastfeed. Sometimes however, you will not lose the excess weight till after you have stopped breast feeding because you will need to take in extra calories.
4. Water:
This is an important part for losing weight because it will increase your metabolism and help stop your food cravings. If you are already eating plenty of fruits and vegetables you are also consuming a lot of water as well. It is still good for you to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day though.
5. Exercise:
This will help aid in your postpartum weight loss and help you to minimize your postpartum depression. Along with the exercise you should also eat a healthy diet that is low in fat but full of vitamins and minerals and also is high in fiber. You should exercise 30 minutes a day five days a week to see an appropriate weight loss.
These are all great tips for you to use when you are trying to lose your pregnancy weight. You need to be sure to begin in moderation though so that your body can acclimate to the change in your routine.

Margie had gained 30 pounds after her second pregnancy. She was sluggish – and not just because she had to keep up with a baby and a toddler. She felt that her weight was keeping her from being the mother she wanted to be.
Margie went to a dietitian to help her change her food choices. One of the things Susan, her dietitian, suggested was to eat a variety of whole foods that were low in fat and high in fiber. Margie had been making a variety of quick meals and picking up fast food because of her duties as a mom. She decided that it was important to start cooking wholesome meals for her husband and herself. She quickly started losing one to two pounds a week. Within 4 months, she was back to her pre-pregnancy weight. What a great weight loss before & after story.
Another factor that was important in her weight loss was wanting to create a family of healthy eaters. She didnÂ’t want her kids to think that food came from McDonalds. Fast food should be an occasional treat not a mainstay of their diets.
MargieÂ’s weight loss before & after story is an inspiration to all new moms struggling to lose the baby weight.
Rob was a teacher at an exclusive public school who has his own weight loss before & after story. One of the perks of teaching at the school was that it provided a catered lunch each day. In addition, fellow teachers often brought specialty foods to share at lunchtime.
The camaraderie in the lunchroom was one of the strengths of the school program. But it was killing Rob’s waistline. He decided that he would bring a low calorie sack lunch and begin walking during 20 minutes of his lunch break. He worried that skipping the lunchroom would mean he would distance himself from his fellow teachers. But, when they saw that he was losing a significant amount of weight on his program, many of the other teachers joined in. Soon, there was a teacher’s walking club at lunch time. A “club” based around an unhealthy eating pattern was replaced by one based on a healthy one. What a wonderful weight loss before & after story!
Kerry was a busy mom with a 50+ hour a week job. When she wasnÂ’t working, she wanted to spend time with her two boys, Gregg who was 9 and Vince who was 11. She felt guilty about going to the gym because that was an hour and a half she could have been spending with her kids.
But, as she crept up near 200 pounds, she knew something had to change. One thing she did was get up a half hour earlier in the morning to take a walk. Then, when she got home in the evenings, she made a point of playing 20 minutes of basketball with the boys every day. Her new physical activity combined with a low fat, lower calorie diet, led to her losing 55 pounds over the course of a year.
Being able to increase the time she spent with her kids as well as losing the weight was a win-win for Kerry. ThatÂ’s a truly great weight loss before & after story.
