ere are some techniques to help you lose post-pregnancy weight.

1. Drink at least 10-12 glasses of water every day. Replace you
high sugar beverages such as sodas and juices with some water and
squeeze of fresh lemon. You could also try flavored seltzer water whic
has no calories. You can cut out hundreds of calories a day this way.
2. Keep healthy snacks handy such as raisins, popcorn, whea
crackers, and nuts. Refuse to buy store-bought baked goods or jun
food.
3. Eat lean meats such as boneless chicken and the leanest cuts o
beef.
4. Eat whole grains (breads, cereals, pastas) instead of the "white
versions
5. Don't be fooled by foods that are labeled as nonfat. Some ar
loaded with calories and can have hydrogenated vegetable oils and/o
high fructose corn syrup, neither of which are healthy. Read you
labels!
6. Resist the urge to indulge in a fast food meal. Or if you do
order the salad and not the fat-filled burgers and fries.
7. As soon as you feel ready, start light exercise
Weather-permitting, take a 10 minute walk with the baby every day an
slowly increase your time to 20 minutes per day. Babies can be worn i
a snugli or sling or you can use a baby jogger or stroller when the
get too heavy. Even better, walk at a regular time with a friend.
8. Find easy ways to increase your exercise like parking farthe
away or using stairs instead of elevators.
9. Breastfeeding uses up your fat stores! Breastfeeding burns abou
500 calories per day so the longer you breastfeed, the more calorie
you burn.
10. Consider joining a gym and trade babysitting hours with a frien
so when you each go to do your workout, the other can watch the babies
Some gyms may offer babysitting services as well
