Losing Pregnancy Weight – Take Action, You Don’t Have To Be This Size
Forever
For many new
mothers losing pregnancy weight is of the utmost
importance. It is quite normal to have gained a
large amount of weight during pregnancy, but a big percentage of this will be baby
weight.
When we talk
about losing weight after pregnancy we are concentrating on the extra body
fat stored throughout the pregnancy, and how to
safely and quickly get rid of this.
You will
naturally have been less active especially during the later stages of pregnancy due to the
increase in size of your baby and the awkwardness of movement. Combine this with a greater appetite and it is understandable why extra
weight is gained.
Throughout your
pregnancy there was a real need for extra calories to feed yourself and your growing baby,
now however you are no longer eating for two.
Don’t cut
calories too dramatically at this stage because you
do still need extra nutrients for breast feeding but also you require a great deal of
energy to cope with the stresses and strains of
motherhood.
If you are
considering losing pregnancy weight you'll need to reduce your
calorie intake slightly. By eating whole foods and
avoiding processed foods as much as possible you will automatically cut down on the calories
you are consuming.
Your body has
just been through a major trauma and you need quality foods to help you recover as quickly as
possible.
Get organised
and prepare food in advance, perhaps freezing meals for later when you have the
time.
Losing
pregnancy weight will be difficult if you get in to the cycle of comfort eating
high sugary or fatty foods. Certainly have the odd
treat, but keep it to a luxury and not a staple.
It is vital that
you increase your activity levels. Walking with
your baby is an excellent way of shedding a few pounds as it's low impact, free, you can work
at your own pace and also gives your baby loads of fresh
air.
Getting back in
to shape after pregnancy can be a very rewarding process and by working with your body’s
own natural repair mechanisms the changes can be
dramatic.
