Techniques to lose the post pregnancy weight

1. Drink lots of water. Get rid of all the sugary drinks or at least most of them. These include but are not limited to beverages like sodas and juices. Replace these with water with fresh lemon juice squeeze in it. This quenches the thirst faster and has no calories.

2. Keep healthy in the house. Replace the biscuits, breads, pizza etc. with raisins, nuts, and fresh vegetables for salads.

3. Eat lean meats. Eat more turkey, lean beef, chicken without the skin etc.

4. Whole Grains. Include whole grains in your diet. Try to avoid the white foods like bread.

5. Don't be fooled by the low fat or no- fat labels. Many of them are loaded with calories and other hydrogenated oils that are not good for you. Read the labels. If there is something you cannot read or spell it is no good for you.

6. Forget all about fast foods. If it is not a salad do not eat it. These are filled with thousands of calories and will leave you hungry in a few minutes.

7. Exercise, Exercise, exercise. You need to exercise if you truly want to lose the weight. This must include aerobics and weights. Muscles burn fat faster.

8. Breastfeed. One of the fastest and easiest ways to lose the weight is to start breastfeeding the baby. This will rev up the fat burning process.

9. Join a gym. If you live close to a gym and if it is possible, join a gym and make it your duty to go.

10. Exercise at home. If you are afraid of the gym or do not have the time to visit a gym, exercise on your own at home. Take a walk with the baby. Go for a run with the baby in his/her stroller. You will feel better and the baby will also too.

What a woman who has had a baby should never forget that it took nine months to put all the weight on and so it will take at least nine months to take it off. Be consistent with your weight loss program. If you fail do not get frustrated, keep going. Get help from someone else who might have been in your situation. Meditate if you like this will help you to remain focus.

One thing a mom should never forget and that is. No matter how long it takes, the weight can be lost and the old body can return or better yet, an even better body might be waiting at the end of the program.
