does any one know what is the bast way to loose the wieght after having a baby?

Question

i had a baby about 3 months ago and cannot seem to get the wieght off... i seem to be gaining weight i was wondering if it is ok to take diet pills... i am not breast feeding

Answer 1

Some say that it takes 9 months to put on the weight, and so it takes 9 months to take it off again. Seriously, stay away from the diet pills, best case scenario they don't help and in the worst they can be harmful. It's summer right now so how about taking baby for long walks as often as possible and work your way up to jogging? There are jogging strollers out there. You can also have your partner or a friend babysit for an hour and go exercise on your own. And some gyms have babysitting on site.

In other words, a good diet, but mostly exercise, and it'll help you relax after a day with baby.

Answer 2

I don't reccomend diet pills - they're not a good replacement for the energy and goodness you need to keep up with bubby! Try cutting sugars first, fats (but not too crazy) and keep up with whatever exersize you can. The weight will come off - and the slower it comes off the more likely it is to stay off.

Most women find the breastfeeding generally does remove a lot of the weight, but I know not all women can - some have medical problems or whatnot and some just dont (not enough milk, personal choice etc) - but I don't know if that makes them put on weight or not. My brother had to be bottlefed (medical problem with mum) but she lost the weight in the first year and a half or so just from running around after the boy XD

Answer 3

Just diet and exercise. Do not take diet pills, they have chemicals in them that your body doesn't need, especially since it is gett ing back to 'regular' functioning. Start by putting the baby in a stroller and go for long walks. Drink lots of water - especially when you are tired and probably will reach for a snack - and remember that your body has just been through a huge thing - the weight loss takes time. Only hollywood celebrities who have the money to pay someone to force them on a treadmill 5 hours a day and a nanny to care for the baby and a chef to prepare all their meals lose weight fast. It's unrealistic and can cause your body trauma. It took you 9 months to gain the weight, aim for 12 - 18 months to take it off.

Answer 4

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
