Losing Pregnancy Weight

Here’s a little collage of me pregnant and then 1 week after giving birth! It’s all because of my diet and  the energy and nutrition I get from Athletic Greens. ***Please note that I did add some whole grains to my diet such as oatmeal, quinoa, and brown rice as well because I breastfed my baby exclusively and wanted to make sure I had enough calories, vitamins, minerals and fibre for his new start to life.

Are you pregnant and conscious to lose weight after pregnancy? If so, then you are also among 90% women who are worried
about their weight after pregnancy. Even some ladies can adapt quick methods like diet pills to
regain their pre- pregnancy shape; making such decisions is dangerous for them and their baby if they are breastfeeding.
In order to reduce weight; you should be physically as
well as mentally prepare for that. Its common, you gain weight during 9 months of
pregnancy. After giving birth, your body is working to contract your belly to
its pre-pregnancy state, but it can be a slow process. Many women may loose 8 to 20
pounds during first two weeks of
pregnancy.
After 6 weeks your body has started to get back to where it needs to be
internally, so it’s best to wait to do any 
exercise during those 6 weeks. Allow your body to rest from the strain it’s been under.
Mothers of new born baby are wondering the best way to reduce weight immediatelyWhen it’s time, here are some facts to reduce
pregnancy weight, 
to shrink your body or loose your extra weight


Always…
Breastfeed Your
Baby:
All women
face question – how they can lose pregnancy weight quickly? The most natural way is
by breastfeeding your babies. This is the fastest and most suitable way to lose pregnancy weight. It may help your
uterus to come back to its normal size. The most important advantage is that ladies who breastfeed, can burn 500-800 calories each day!
A Nutrient Rich Diet: It is another method that helps
to reduce your weight quickly.
Eat colorful fruits and vegetables as much as possible;
but don’t include the fruits having much sugar (like grapes, or mangos), because sugar doesn’t do a body good and could cause obesity. 
Reduce the all sweets from your diet (if possible)  like chocolate (I still had a few pieces dark chocolate every day), cake,
pastries etc. don’t eat too many 
fat rich products– take a little amount that are consumed by your body.
Also reduce carbohydrates rich food (like white breads, rice, pasta, potatoes etc).
Carbohydrates and deep-fried, fatty food play an important role in obesity.
Drink lots of water in each day, especially if breast feeding. Experts say that
8 glasses are necessary per day.
Exercise: exercise is an important way to
reduce weight. I usually say 80% diet, 20% exercise. Firstly, consult with your doctor. When you need to start? Which
exercise is efficient for you? 


After consulting with doctor, start exercise accordingly. Always warm up.
Walking is a great way to lose extra weight. Walking in green environment
at morning time provides extra results to you. If you are a breastfeeding mother, then it gives you wonderful results. You can also choose yoga for it- it may develop grace, strength and wisdom. 
I waited 6 weeks before I did anything except walk and I think I waited at least 3 weeks before I went to the end of my street and back. My baby is 5 months now and I’m still only walking (1 mile walks in the trails near my house), doing really light yoga once in a while, and running around lifting him and playing with him for my exercise. Nothing too strenuous although that’s something I would like to improve upon.
    
Consequently above mentioned guidelines are more helpful
to reduce your extra weight. If you would like to know more about other tips

Pre-Pregnancy Weight After 1 Week! How I Did It…

My son was born Jan. 21st 2014. Here is a photo of us 1 week after I gave birth to him. You can see that I am pretty much back to my normal weight.  How did I do it? I attribute that to my way of eating…

The 4 Hour Body works! Eating “slow carbs” as opposed to carbs that are metabolized quickly really makes a difference. I also think that drinking my Athletic Greens, green drink every day and gave me the energy I needed to keep me healthy before, and throughout my pregnancy. 
My trick is to fill up on as many healthy foods (G-BOMBS) as I can throughout the day, which leaves me little room or craving for food that isn’t good for me. Don’t get me wrong, I looooove chips, cookies, cake and many other foods that I know won’t benefit me, but of course I still eat them; I just limit them. 
I hope you find this blog helpful for reaching your goals. Check the Cheat Sheet for following the 4 Hour Body diet, and my coaching packages.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you need support in reaching your goals. I’m hear to help. 
Here’s to your health!
