The breasts go first, and then the waist and then the butt. Nobody ever tells you that you get a butt when you get pregnant. - Elle Macpherson
It's nature's way to make a shapely woman out-of-shape and it should be woman's endeavor to regain her shape after pregnancy. The proportion of weight-loss after birth is much less than the weight-gain during pregnancy. The excess pounds in the flesh must be shed in order to regain the pre-pregnancy figure.
Firstly, we must realize that the weight gained during pregnancy wasn't overnight and should not expect to lose it overnight either. In fact the extra weight gained during pregnancy gives the mother lots of reserves for feeding the baby.
There is a method to shedding those extra pounds after pregnancy. We have a look at it in a phased manner –
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding a child serves twin purposes. Firstly, it ensures a nutrient-rich diet to the newborn. It also ensures weight-loss by transferring the extra fat in the form of mother's milk to the baby.
Diet Management
Healthy diet-regime along with lots of water is a sure way to reducing extra calories in the body. Oily and deep-fried foods are a strict no-no if you aim to reduce weight after pregnancy. The ideal diet must be rich in complex carbs like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free dairy products etc. This must be supplemented by plenty of water (no juice, no soda just water).
Weight Management
If you are shedding lots of pounds too quickly, that's bad news. Post-pregnancy weight-gain is meant to be lost gradually. Thus it is imperative to have your meals well spread-out for the day. Diets pills like phentermine, adipex, bontril, xenical, acomplia etc can help in losing weight during pregnancy but do consult your health care professional before opting phentermine online.
Try Cardio
The cardio workouts should be done under the surveillance of a physical instructor. The cardio machines burn quick calories and are good for the overall well being of the body. It can be supplemented by gentle walking. For the time being, avoid lifting weights.
Be Patient and enjoy Motherhood
Motherhood is god's way to make woman a complete human being. It should be enjoyed and lived to the fullest irrespective of its accompanying weight problems. Don't rush into attaining that pre-pregnancy look. Normally, it takes up to 6 months to ward off the pregnancy-fat from the body. Slowly work yourself up the progress ladder! Do involve dieticians and your doctor – if required – to plan out a healthy diet for you. Give your precious time to the newborn and do not keep yourself pre-occupied with the thought of weight-loss. Try out some outdoor activity like walking with the baby in your arms.
