You may complain that you don’t have time to exercise after your baby is born because you’ll be too busy being a mother. You should take advantage of being busy as it can help you burn calories. The more physically active you are, the more calories your body will burn. That’s absolutely true, and then you lose some weight – doesn’t it feel good? Nonetheless, here are some tips on how to lose weight after pregnancy:
– Drink lots of water, not less than 10 glasses per day. Water can help you lose weight. Water helps your liver flush waste out of your body, so your kidneys don’t have to work as hard to get rid of the waste. Drinking water is one of the best ways to lose weight after giving birth. You’ll need a lot of water because you lost a lot during your birth.
Eat lean meats – especially fish and chicken. Good sources of protein that your body needs, as well as being low in fat, so this type of meat is great to consume.
Eat more and more fruits and vegetables, they are good sources of vitamins and minerals. Try eating an apple before each meal. Apples can help you lose weight because they keep you feeling full for longer.
Saunas are good after giving birth. Try using a sauna for 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks after your baby is born. You will notice that you can lose weight faster, your skin looks fresher and also it is good for your body at that time.
Exercise: You may not have time to exercise as you will be busy with taking care of your newborn and other chores. You don’t need to exercise if you don’t have time but try to do all the housework and babysitting yourself – at least it will help you burn some extra calories.
