Post baby bulge - How to lose it

By: Jacob Sikais

Weight loss after pregnancy is tough and can appear impractical.
Hang in there! Remember that for nine months your body has had
quite a tough time, especially during delivery. Therefore, the
precedence at the moment is to give your body sufficient time
and means to get it's self back to normal. Dieting at this time
should be done rather more sensibly then if you where dieting at
any other time of your life, So be sensible other wise you may
be making a health blunder if you attempt to diet too hard.
Several weight loss specialists cite the law "Nine months on,
nine months off," implying that whichever diet you select, you
must not be too concerned if you don't come back to your usual
weight until about nine months after delivery. Nine months might
appear to be long time to wait before you shed that post-baby
bulge however post-pregnancy weight loss is different than
trying to lose weight because of conventional overeating or
general bad eating habits. Therefore it is really vital that you
don't diet too hard - and defiantly no extreme or fad diets like
the"Cabbage Soup Diet" or a "500 calorie diet".

Minerals, vitamins and various nutritional supplements can
assist to expedite your recovery period. But keep in mind: it is
imperative to seek expert medical advice prior to taking any
dietary supplements after a pregnancy. Just to ensure that (a)
they won't harmfully affect the health you're new born via your
breast milk and (b) they can't trigger any unfavourable
reactions while you're recuperating from child birth.

"Patience" is the key word when dieting after child birth and so
you should only plan to lose about 1.5-2 lb per week. If you are
breast-feeding, keep in mind that your breast sizes will differ
quite a bit, -- don't estimate any weight-loss achievements by
their size and appearance! Insread you would be better to watch
your buttock,thighs,hips or your face - especaily your cheeks.

Regular light exercise can be very helpful for toning-up your
muscles which in turn will help your body burn-up more calories.
However with your new arrival your daily schedule has probably
gone "hay wire" and finding time to exercise may be a bit
difficult until things settle down and life returns back to
normal. But,some light stretching wom't take-up a great deal of
your time. Yoga or Pilates are perfect exercise routines for
weight-lose after pregnancy. When life starts to get back to
normal again,you can try adding
swimming,cycling,walking,skipping or even jogging - but be
carful don't over do it! How about taking your baby with you to
the pool - they usual love it! Or take them out cycling with you
in one of those weatherproof trailers. Many babies love mom's
exercise time!

Apply the same caution to any exercise routine as you would to
dieting: don't overdo it, be tolerant and stay relaxed about it.
Focus on good health -- as a mom you require to be in good form
for your hectic life!

Good luck!
