Losing Your Post-Pregnancy Weight

By Jay Park


Have you recently given birth? Like most women, you probably still carry some of the extra pounds you gained during pregnancy and want to get rid of it. Your wardrobe doesn't fit you anymore. Many practical reasons exist as to why you'd want to go back to the weight you had before you got pregnant. Experts recommend against trying to lose your post-pregnancy weight too fast. What they suggest is that you take it slow shedding the pounds. It's a healthy, safer way to get rid of the extra pounds. If you take this route, you'll discover that the weight you lose will stay off. Actually, this is the same advice given to any person looking to slim down. What you want to do is lose it and be able to keep it off, and here are some helpful suggestions to do that.

Are you breastfeeding? Know that your baby depends on you for his or her sustenance so you'll need to be eating more calories in order to produce more milk. Don't worry, it isn't really a huge amount. You'll probably just want to consume about 300 calories more than what you normally consume.

Interestingly, there are some studies that indicate nursing mothers tend to shed off pounds a lot faster than those who don't breastfeed. Within the medical community, though, this subject is still being highly debated. Avoid overeating even though it's okay for you to eat a little more food than usual because you're breastfeeding. You still have to exercise moderation. Don't make junk food the source of your extra calories. Go with fruits and vegetables.

Any time that you are trying to lose weight, having a solid support system can be extremely helpful. This is true when you're trying to get rid of post-pregnancy weight while you're looking after your baby at the same time. There are many ways you can get the support you need, but many moms today find themselves turning to the Internet. Yes, you can find thousands of women in your situation in support groups. Online forums are great places to meet other moms who've just given birth. You can talk and ask questions in these forums without having to worry about what the others will think of you. It's a place where you can vent your frustrations. They're all going through or have gone through the same thing as you so they understand. They'll be able to offer advice and support.

If you want to lose weight the healthy way, the key is to eat healthily and exercise regularly. You don't need to go to the gym to exercise; you can do so right at home.You are not tied to your house just because you have a baby, and getting out for some exercise is essential for healthy weight loss. All through history, you'll see that women still managed to get some exercise outdoors even when the had newborns. You can take your baby with out for walks. Just put your baby in a stroller, start pushing and walking, and you're ready to go. Walking is a wonderful way to get your body moving and there are many other benefits to it.

You'll be able to burn lots of calories when you're that busy. What you need to do then is make sure you're consuming healthy foods. When the kids are asleep, you can then do some fat burning exercises. Pretty soon you'll see your weight going down. It wouldn't hurt to ask people you know for weight loss advice. Your personal network will have people who have experience in this area. There are online support groups you can find and join, too. Of course if you prefer, you can go about this on your own, but you stand a better chance of succeeding in your post-pregnancy weight loss quest if you seek help and support.
