Pregnancy is a beautiful thing to happen to a woman's life. It also adds weight to the beautiful figure you had before. Getting back to shape & looking like a sexy Mom surely is on the top of the list. Just to help out all those women I'm writing this post.
1. Breastfeeding: It is good for you & your baby both. Breastfeeding helps burn around 500 calories.
2. Drink Water: Drinking water helps you keep hydrated & during breastfeeding the body has a tendency to dehydrate.
3. Eat smaller meals, many times a day: Eating small meals are related to weight loss & helps weight maintenance. Skipping meals is not a good idea, as then the body tends to store carbs for future use. Eating lots of vegetables, fruits & fiber filled foods help you feel full for longer.
4. Avoid craving: Eat only when hungry & keep tempting foods out of sight. This will not only help you reduce the excess weight but also help the baby get the right nutrient share. You are the source of nutrients to the baby when you breastfeed.
5. Exercise: Do not hit the gym! Light exercise including walking, aerobics & yoga can be of great help in this phase.
If the above steps are taken care of especially taking care of the diet will surely help.
