Have you put in the effort and had success with shedding some of your baby weight? Or maybe you were one of the lucky ones where most of it just kind of melted off without much effort? Are you still not quite where you want to be with your post pregnancy body? Losing the last ten pounds (give or take) can be frustrating. Those last few pounds can be stubborn but here are some tips and tricks to help send them packing!
- First of all, make sure you are aiming for a healthy goal weight for your body. You may be aiming for a weight that your body just won't want to get to not matter what you do because it just simply wasn't meant to. A good idea is to calculate your BMI (body mass index) to find out where you should be sitting weight-wise. You can do that here: www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi.
- Many think it is a tedious task to write down everything they eat and drink but this has actually been known to help people lose their post pregnancy body weight. Find out how many daily calories you should be eating to achieve your goal (you can find this out at many websites online, one example is www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate) and keep track in a food journal. You may be eating more calories and/or fat than you realize so this will help you to make any adjustments if needed.
- Are you eating less than when you were at a higher weight? The less you weigh, the less calories your body needs. This is an important factor in losing the last ten pounds.
- Do you tend to "slack off" with your healthy eating/exercise plan on the weekends? Don't worry, you are not alone, many people do! In order to lose those last few stubborn pounds though, you may have to make some changes and put in more effort on the weekends.
- Do you pay attention to portion size when eating snacks and meals? Portion control is very important in losing the last ten pounds on your post pregnancy body. Are you eating until you are stuffed? You want to be comfortably full, not feel that stuffed type of feeling. It is a good idea to slow down when you eat. It takes approximately 20 minutes for your stomach to know that it's full so take your time when eating if you can. Also, pay attention to serving sizes on packages, and if you need to, measure your foods out. For example, if you are eating cereal in the morning, and the serving size is 1 cup, first pour your cereal in a measuring cup to make sure you have the right serving size amount.
- Are you eating unhealthy carbohydrates? Foods such as white breads, cereals, rice, pasta and crackers offer little to no nutrition and are quite unhealthy. It is best to stick to healthier options such as whole grain breads, cereals, etc. and of course, lots of fruits and vegetables.
- You may need to add more intensity to your exercise workouts. Your body will get used to the same old, same old. You may need to switch up your workouts if you are doing the same one all the time. You may also need to add more intensity to your cardio workouts and use heavier dumbbells for your strength training. Challenge yourself and your post pregnancy body!
If you can apply these tips to your day to day life, it will make losing the last ten pounds that much easier. A fat reduction overview can help you construct a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to complete your fat burning target if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more advance stage of their weight loss strategy. Following are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your own weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss applications have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by producing a person's body to lose more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Make sure you have realistic goals and timeframes to lose your weight, and be patient with yourself and you will get your post pregnancy body back to its pre-pregnancy state, or maybe even better!
