Lose Weight Now - For Good!


Although not at the top of every mothers list when her baby is born, how quickly she will lose weight after pregnancy and regain her figure does come a close second to the health of her new born child. The pressure is always on as every day there are pictures of some famous mother who has regained her figure within a few short months of giving birth. However, what they always fail to mention is just how much help celebrities receive to achieve their weight loss after pregnancy; the wealthy have with access to personal trainers, special equipment and of course, time.

There are things to make weight loss after pregnancy easier but these are not always available to the average new mom for at least the first few months, if at all. Besides at this point after the birth, a mother should be concentrating more on the health of her child and her own diet so she can feed her baby these days regaining her strength. A healthy diet means one that contains some fiber which should equal around two thousand calories a day; the main constituents of her daily diet should be:

*Fifty percent intake of carbohydrates
*Protein should be almost a third of daily intake
*10 percent fats

While this diet doesn't give a full one hundred percent, this is because everyone deserves a little luxury in their diet but not so much as to spoil the work you are doing to gain your old figure back. Although a new born child takes a great deal of care and time, it is still necessary for a mother to attempt some form of regular exercise which will also improve her metabolism and stamina. These activities will also provide the extra benefit of mood-elevation but moderation is the key; a new mother should enjoy the time spent exercising without the dread of it feeling like going to work.

It is best to start things relatively easily but do not expect that your weight loss after pregnancy as quickly as someone else as it is down to your own genetic makeup and how many pounds you gained during the pregnancy. It is generally understood that after giving birth most women's bodies make considerable adjustments; these adjustments can make losing excess pounds quite difficult. The surest way to lose weight after pregnancy is to maintain that healthy diet and exercise regime you have started so the weight comes off naturally and slowly.

Remember that your body gained fat slowly so you need to lose it the same way and any muscle tone that was lost will come back the same way through exercise; rapid weight loss can end up in rapid weight gain! The good news is that with a solid nutritional program and with moderate exercise, you can expect to lose the weight you gained during pregnancy within a reasonable time frame. This is possible for most new mothers although it must be remembered that some of the pounds are not likely to be shed while the breastfeeding continues.
