Learning how to lose your extra weight after giving birth is probably one of the first things new moms think about after having their babies. Going to the gym may be the last thing on your mind since I know you would want to spend more time with your new found treasure.

Just like you, I thought it would really be hard to get back in shape after I had my third child. I asked for some advice and tips from my dietician friend on how I could eat nutritionally (for my baby) and still lose weight. And after a few weeks I started to fit into my favorite old jeans.

Tips To Lose The Baby Weight

1. Control Your Food Cravings. There are several reasons why women who just gave birth get constant food cravings. One of them is their hormones are still on an up-and-down surge. You have to try to keep your sugar levels in control by eating frequent small meals instead of just 2 to 3 big meals in a day. You need a balanced diet consisting of fats, protein and complex carbohydrates.

2. Breastfeed Your Baby. Do you know that when you breastfeed your baby you get to lose 500 to 700 calories each day? During pregnancy, one of the reasons why you get fat is because your body is saving up for you and your baby’s future. Your body knows that you would need fat for the purpose of lactation. Breastfeeding is not only good for your baby but it would also help you lose the baby weight that you’ve gained.

3. Walking Around And Showing Off Your Baby. Showing off your baby to the neighbors can do you good so take the time to walk around include the baby friendly parks. Walking everyday is extremely helpful in getting rid of the baby weight and not to mention the stress that a new mom feels too. So take a walk and it would be great if you could bring your baby too.

Wanting to get back in shape is a good thing but remember not to rush your body. You have to take extra care of yourself because your baby depends on you now. Learn to appreciate the joys of motherhood and just give shaping up some time. Avoid adding stress to yourself, enjoy and congratulate yourself for a job well done.

If you want to be able to wear your sexy jeans again, I’m sure that would be really cool but your first priority is to keep you and your baby healthy so avoid any synthetic weight loss pills and don’t rush it. You would eventually get back to tip top shape by just following a well balanced meal everyday.
