What's the Fastest Way to Lose Weight After Having A Baby

Women who have just given birth often ask "what is the fastest way to lost weight

after having a baby"? That's a difficult question to answer because no two bodies are the same.

Firstly, you need to be honest with yourself and answer some questions:

- Were you overweight before you became pregnant?

- What was your diet like before you became pregnant?

- Did you have a regular exercise regime before you became pregnant and in the early stages?

- How much weight did you put on during your pregnancy?

- How heavy was your baby when he or she was born?

The fastest way to lose weight after having a baby will be different depending on your answers.

If you were slim and fit and took regular exercise then it will be relatively easy to lose your baby weight quickly particularly if you didn't put on a great deal over and above the actual weight of the baby. All you need to do is return to your previous diet and exercise regime and do some extra exercises to tone up those stomach muscles.

On the other hand, if you were already somewhat overweight and then piled on the pounds while you were pregnant, the fastest way lose weight after having a baby may well need to be more radical.

To start with, write down honestly what you normally eat each day then get a calorie book or find an internet site and write down by each item how many calories it contains. If it totals more than 2000 calories, you have found your reason for gaining weight.

Concentrate on the items which have a high calorific value - are they chips, cakes, doughnuts? I'm afraid that the only answer is to stop eating them. Not only do these foods contain fat and/or sugar but they offer very little by way of nutrition so you must give them up.

If it makes life easier, don't keep these foods in the house; it will do your whole family good to do without them. Instead, eat fruit or raw vegetables for snacks. If you want something savoury eat a rice cake instead of crisps.

The fastest way to lose weight after having a baby is to be very strict with yourself. Grill or poach fish or chicken and serve with lots of green vegetables and one or two boiled potatoes. To make life more interesting sprinkle on herbs or spices before cooking; try cumin, coriander or chilli powder with chicken. Fish is great served with lemon to squeeze over or horseradish sauce.

Eat lean meat and stay away from frozen, packeted or processed foods. These contain far too much sugar and salt and unless you read every bit of the small print, you won't know what's in them.

If you follow this advice, you'll soon start to shed those extra pounds.
