Losing Pregnancy
Weight
You’ve been pregnant for nine whole months
and during this time you will have obviously gained
weight. I'm sure
you didn’t mind at
the time but now that your bundle of joy has arrived, the
focus now shifts to losing pregnancy weight the
easy way.
 For some women
pregnancy can be an excuse to eat what they want, avoid
exercising, and relax on the couch a lot
more. What they
forget is that when their baby comes along that additional
weight doesn’t just go away. It is quite normal for women to
gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy and up to 14 of
these can be lost during birth. This leaves up to 20 pounds in
additional weight and the purpose of this article is to
give you some tips on losing
pregnancy weight.

After the birth of a baby women’s bodies
are out of shape and many find it difficult to get a good
workout routine going. Losing pregnancy weight soon becomes a
battle and many women can get depressed.
The first step is to
breastfeed your baby. It has been proven time and time again
that women who breastfeed their babies lose their
pregnancy weight much quicker than those who
don’t. Of
course the fact that it is also much healthier for your
baby is a good reason too.
The second step for losing pregnancy
weight is to clear out your fridge and
cupboards. You
probably still have treats and snacks that are full of fat
and you don’t need these
anymore. You
need to start eating a healthy diet and cut down on the
overeating that you became accustomed to during your
pregnancy. If
you are breastfeeding you will need to be aware of the
foods that you put into your body because these will
affect the quality of your milk.

The third thing when it comes to losing
pregnancy weight is to get
active. Walking
is a great exercise and not only is it healthy for you,
it’s healthy for your new baby too. Walking for 30 minutes each day will
soon help you to shift that extra baby weight.
Don’t forget toning
exercises too. You will need to make sure you take
some time each day to do pelvic floor exercises as well
as some abdominals. You can actually use your baby to help
with this.
If you are lying on the floor with your
knees raised, you can place the baby resting against
your legs and then you can play peek-a-boo with you
doing crunches. You might not be able to do this with a
newborn but once your baby is a little older you can and
it’s great fun as well.
Losing pregnancy weight doesn’t have to be
torture and if you exercise daily and eat healthily you can
be back to your pre-pregnancy weight and shape in a couple
of months.
A word of warning
When losing weight following
pregnancy, don’t be
tempted to try any of the so called “miracle
diets”. These
diets that claim to help you lose weight quickly can
actually drain your body and sap your
energy. With a new
baby you need all the energy you can muster so avoid these
diets at all costs. If you are breastfeeding these
diets may also affect your milk.

IMPORTANT
We do not offer medical advice. Before
undertaking any diet or weight loss program you should,
first, consult your doctor or physician. You should be
especially careful if you have any existing medical
condition or are taking any form of
medication.
Exercise should be approached with
caution. It is not uncommon to sustain injury when taking
up exercise for the first time or after a long period of
relative inactivity. At the slightest sign of pain or
discomfort you should stop exercising and seek the help
of an appropriately qualified expert before resuming
activity.
The diets we recommend are not suitable
for pregnant or breast-feeding women, nor should they be
undertaken by anyone under the age of 18 without first
seeking expert medical
opinion.
