Need to lose 80lbs of Baby Weight?

Question

Ok, I didn't gain 100lbs with my pregnancy, but I did gain 30 Prior to my pregnancy I wanted to lose 50lbs so there you have it. I had twins so trying to maintain my weight and appetite was a problem. I'm coming upon my 6 weeks so I can start exercising. What kind of diet, exercise, diet pills can I do anything will help. How long will it take to get that kiind of weight off. I'm 21 years old.

Answer 1

there are no magic diet pills/patches/teas/lotions - weight loss is hard work.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 2

Try and eat foods with less than 4% fat in them. It's very easy to do, without restricting you too much. Best of all, theres no weighing or calorie counting. Throw in 10 minutes of exercise a couple of times a day (anything - dancing, walking, swimming..) as early as possible to get the metabolism going. Set realistic goals for your weight loss (half a stone a month is mine) and reward yourself (new hairdo or perfume) when you reach your goals. And congratulations on your beautiful babies. I'm so jealous!

The person above gives some good advice, but i was kind of thinking about a simple diet because of how busy you must be taking care of two babies. I forgot to mention also that if you include some calcium in your diet, it helps fat to pass through your body unabsorbed. Also try and eat a third carbs (pasta, rice, bread etc) and a third protein (white meats and fish, cottage cheese...) and a third fruit and veg. Carbs fill you up but burn off pretty fast, but protein actually keeps you feeling full for longer. Look at 'the truth about food' website.

A friend in NZ used Sureslim and lost heaps of weight and has kept it off. Try and find something similar wherever you are. This is their website http://www.sureslim.co.nz/

I don't work for them or anything... not trying to advertise it's just the only weight loss plan I've ever heard actually work for a real person.
