My Lose Weight Tips: Ways to Lose Baby Weight Fast

With the incredible experience of pregnancy comes the necessary but unwanted extra weight. Unfortunately the weight doesn't magically fall off immediately after birth. In fact, some women find they hardly lose any of the baby weight in the hospital. With a few simple lifestyle changes and a bit of work, you can drop the pounds and return to your prepregnancy weight.

Breast-feed

Breast-feeding is the easiest and most effective post-pregnancy weight-loss method.You naturally burn 400 to 800 calories each day doing what you would normally do: feeding your baby. Even if you find you can't feed directly from the breast, using a breast pump to extract milk for your newborn has the same effect and produces rapid weight loss.

Lift Baby

Weight training will go a long way toward speeding up your metabolism. Do 20 minutes daily of lifting your baby, from bench presses to straight lifts and hip raises with baby seated on your abdomen. Leg presses are also effective when baby is a bit older and able to hold up his own head. This is also great bonding time for you and your little one.

Sleep

Take naps throughout the day. Adequate sleep is important in weight loss and overall health. Since it's nearly impossible to sleep through the night with a newborn, naps are a way to make up some needed rest time. When baby lays down for a nap, try to take one yourself.

Take a Daily Stroll

A daily walk will get your heart pumping and help speed up your metabolism. Plus it's good for your mental health to get out and take in the fresh air in a relaxing setting. Push the baby stroller for added weight and to give your little one some much needed vitamin D. Stroller rides are also an effective way to get a baby to sleep.

Eat Healthy Snacks

Eat small meals frequently throughout the day and small healthy snacks. This is even more important if you breast-feed, as what you eat is passed on to your baby, and you need to consume a lot of calories to keep yourself and your baby nourished. Foods like fruit, nuts, raw or steamed vegetables and unbuttered popcorn are great choices.
