Diet. Thats it. There is no way to target certain areas for loss. Your body is going to choose where it loses. You can do core strengthening exercises to tighten up that area, but without a calorie deficit and genes that allow you to lose their first, you will have to work on the total package.
Breast feed, it burns lots of calories and forces you to drink a lot of water
Go for long walks with the baby in a front carrier or sling
Eat only healthy, real food, cut out junk food
Realize that it takes a little time. It spent nine months stretching out, it takes about six months to go away, apparently unless you are a celebrity with a personal trainer and work out two hours a day.
Some people find dieting more difficult than exercising because it requires self-control above all things else. With exercising, it’s virtually just about stamina and strength. No matter what kind of workout you sign up for, it won’t demand you to deny what you want or crave – which is exactly the case when dieting. However, when all’s said and done eating the right food and maintaining a proper balance for your intake is critical to your success in battling pregnancy fat.
• Drink lots of water. Keeping yourself hydrated is essential since water can help keep up your stamina level – something you’ll definitely need when taking care of your newborn 24/7. On the other hand, caffeine should go to your must-avoid list for your first few months of post-pregnancy. It may help keep you awake, but it’s also likely to keep you jumpy. That’s definitely not good if you’re new to handling the stress of motherhood.
• Increase your protein intake. Being a hands-on mom is almost like signing up for a beginner’s course on weightlifting since you’ll have a baby in your arms almost the entire day – and night! As such, it’s essential to boost your protein intake as this will help build and strengthen your muscles.
• Small meals are still the way to go. By now, you should have lost all your food cravings during pregnancy. However, the exhaustion from looking after your newborn may cause you to be cranky and hungry – even if you’re not. To avoid suffering from hunger pangs, make a habit out of eating more than three times a day. Even better, consider eating every 3 hours or so as this can definitely help prevent you from overeating.
