Weight Loss Guidelines For New Moms
1) Look after your body Your body has just undergone enormous strain. In addition, your new arrival means you are going to need all the energy you can get. So make sure you eat properly and maintain your health. 2) Eat properly The American Medical Association has stressed the importance of eating a diet that is nutritionally sound: i.e. a diet low in fat (not fat-free), nutrient-dense (i.e., full of vitamins and minerals) and high in fiber. This applies to all new moms, regardless of weight. The two biggest mistakes you can make is (a) Start eating junk food, or (b) Go on a crash diet. Either action is guaranteed to make you fat and unhealthy. 3) Find out about food Contact your doctor or local clinic. Educate yourself about nutrition, rather than weight loss. 4) Start exercising • Develop a personal exercise plan. Think it through, before you start. • Ideally, recruit a partner, a friend or another new mom to exercise with you. • Aim to work towards a regular 30 minutes exercise, per day. • Set little goals, like 10-minutes of exercise each day, then gradually increase it. • The best time to start exercising is about 6 weeks after the birth. • Hollywood stars are often photographed working out within hours of the birth of their child. This is not healthy. Do not be tempted to copy them unless you do so under expert professional care. • Pay particular attention to strengthening the pelvic area. • Remember: exercise gives you more energy, not less.
