I just had a baby and was wondering what is the best way to lose the weight i gained from pregnancy?

Answer 1

i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Answer 2

Yeah breast feeding is a good way to go, but some people just can't. I would suggest adding a lot of protein to your diet (like fish, etc....) and up your activity level, even just a little bit. I don't know if you have one, but u could get a stroller and take the baby on walks. While the baby's sleeping pop in an exercise tape (I strongly recommend THE FIRM!). That's what I did at first. I lost weight, now I'm at a standstill and looking for a way to get past that plateau. Oh yeah! Also they say that drinking just one cup of green tea a day can give you an energy boost and rev up your metabolism. Don't know if it really works or not, but it tastes all right, so why not try it?

I've had three babies and each time it was harder, with my last (10 years ago) I discovered walking up hill (as my excercise) and drinking lots of water worked wonders.
