Losing Pregnancy Weight

Here’s a little collage of me pregnant and then 1 week after giving birth! It’s all because of my diet and  the energy and nutrition I get from Athletic Greens. ***Please note that I did add some whole grains to my diet such as oatmeal, quinoa, and brown rice as well because I breastfed my baby exclusively and wanted to make sure I had enough calories, vitamins, minerals and fibre for his new start to life.

Are you pregnant and conscious to lose weight after pregnancy? If so, then you are also among 90% women who are worried
about their weight after pregnancy. Even some ladies can adapt quick methods like diet pills to
regain their pre- pregnancy shape; making such decisions is dangerous for them and their baby if they are breastfeeding.
In order to reduce weight; you should be physically as
well as mentally prepare for that. Its common, you gain weight during 9 months of
pregnancy. After giving birth, your body is working to contract your belly to
its pre-pregnancy state, but it can be a slow process. Many women may loose 8 to 20
pounds during first two weeks of
pregnancy.
After 6 weeks your body has started to get back to where it needs to be
internally, so it’s best to wait to do any 
exercise during those 6 weeks. Allow your body to rest from the strain it’s been under.
Mothers of new born baby are wondering the best way to reduce weight immediatelyWhen it’s time, here are some facts to reduce
pregnancy weight, 
to shrink your body or loose your extra weight


Always…
Breastfeed Your
Baby:
All women
face question – how they can lose pregnancy weight quickly? The most natural way is
by breastfeeding your babies. This is the fastest and most suitable way to lose pregnancy weight. It may help your
uterus to come back to its normal size. The most important advantage is that ladies who breastfeed, can burn 500-800 calories each day!
A Nutrient Rich Diet: It is another method that helps
to reduce your weight quickly.
Eat colorful fruits and vegetables as much as possible;
but don’t include the fruits having much sugar (like grapes, or mangos), because sugar doesn’t do a body good and could cause obesity. 
Reduce the all sweets from your diet (if possible)  like chocolate (I still had a few pieces dark chocolate every day), cake,
pastries etc. don’t eat too many 
fat rich products– take a little amount that are consumed by your body.
Also reduce carbohydrates rich food (like white breads, rice, pasta, potatoes etc).
Carbohydrates and deep-fried, fatty food play an important role in obesity.
Drink lots of water in each day, especially if breast feeding. Experts say that
8 glasses are necessary per day.
Exercise: exercise is an important way to
reduce weight. I usually say 80% diet, 20% exercise. Firstly, consult with your doctor. When you need to start? Which
exercise is efficient for you? 


After consulting with doctor, start exercise accordingly. Always warm up.
Walking is a great way to lose extra weight. Walking in green environment
at morning time provides extra results to you. If you are a breastfeeding mother, then it gives you wonderful results. You can also choose yoga for it- it may develop grace, strength and wisdom. 
I waited 6 weeks before I did anything except walk and I think I waited at least 3 weeks before I went to the end of my street and back. My baby is 5 months now and I’m still only walking (1 mile walks in the trails near my house), doing really light yoga once in a while, and running around lifting him and playing with him for my exercise. Nothing too strenuous although that’s something I would like to improve upon.
    
Consequently above mentioned guidelines are more helpful
to reduce your extra weight. If you would like to know more about other tips

Can You Get Rid Of Cellulite? I Did!

Here’s how I did it and Dr.Oz backs it up…

Before I started The 4-Hour BODY to lose my 10 pounds doing the slow carb diet, I had cellulite. Many “experts” told me it was impossible to lose and gave their reasons why. Tim Feriss said it was possible and I wanted to believe this was true. I followed what he recommended in detail. Read and re-read his book The 4-Hour Body over and over again so I made sure I got it. When I went to take my after photos, I saw that the cellulite was drastically reduced, and basically felt like it was gone. I was no longer self-concious about my bumpy thighs. Here is how I did it, and the other day I was watching Dr. Oz and he basically recommends the same thing…

PAGG – I Used this “stack” every day. I took Alpha Lipoic Acid, Green Tea and Garlic Extract before every meal and the Policosonol every night before I went to bed.

Hydration – I have always loved water, and still do so I’m lucky that way. Even when I was a little kid, we’d go to my parents friends house and they’d ask what I would like to drink and I would say “Water please!” They would say, “Are you sure? We have pop, or juice?” I’d say, “No thanks, I like water.” I naturally drink the recommended 8-10 8oz glasses of water per day, so do your best to accomplish this as well.

Caffein and Retinol – Retinol commonly called as
vitamin A is available naturally in many fruits and vegetables. Scientists have
found that the retinoid compounds can penetrate through layers of skin to
provide nutrients to cells to repair themselves. On the other hand caffeine
improves the blood circulation hence assures the breakdown and formation of the
cellulites. It also helps to stimulate heart and brain to work effectively by
dilating vessels to speed up blood flow in whole of the body.


Endermology or Dry Brush – I was lucky that I had the money to pay for a chiropractor visit 1/week, who happened to have an Endermology machine in her office, and she included it in her service. She would spend 15 minutes using this machine on me to soothe my aching muscles, and now Dr. Oz is saying that it is good for reducing cellulite. Dr. Mindy Mar is an incredible chiropractor that really takes care of her patients. She is constantly studying and offers more than just chiropractic services as well. If you’re ever in the San Diego area, and are in need of some TLC, she’s your gal.

If you are on a budget, according to Dr. Oz, you could get similar effects from dry brushing.
