After pregnancy, most women worry that they will never see their toes again. But, fortunately, simple and proven ways can make changes in women's forms, helping to get rid of extra pounds.

What's in the package?.

Learn to read labels, and treat yourself with the same respect as your child. In other words, do not eat anything that you do not want to eat. Consume less processed foods, and more - whole foods. But for those cases when you are reaching for a packed snack, read the list of ingredients - if there is any hint of hydrogenated fats, put the package in place. These fats, also known as trans fats, can clog your arteries, which leads to heart disease. Also pay attention to the type of sugar and its quantity in this product (corn syrup, honey, dextrose) - eating foods high in sugar causes addiction and increases appetite.

Choose a well-balanced snack A few mothers have time to prepare a "useful" dish and enjoy it to the fullest. But everyone has time for a handful of almonds and an apple, or two tablespoons of peanut butter on a banana. Pause 2-3 hours between mini meals, and try to eat at least six times a day.

Overcome the "fatty" phobia Physiological fact: you need to eat fat to burn fat. Make a conscious effort and turn on healthy fats (6 olives, a quarter of the avocado, 12 nuts or a tablespoon of flaxseed oil) in three courses of your six a day. Studies show that omega-3 (healthy fats found in salmon, walnuts, linseed oil and other foods) reduce abdominal fat.

Eat dairy products three times a day, if you do not have them allergies Dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt contain the necessary nutrients (including calcium and potassium) that can help you manage your weight better.

Eat vegetables at the beginning of the day For lunch most of the tired moms crave comfort, not broccoli. Take the habit of eating spinach throughout the day, a mushroom omelet for breakfast, and carrot puree for the company with the baby.

Do not give up your favorite products - find a replacement for them. Love pizza? Give preference to whole wheat flour. Ask for extra vegetables and only half of the cheese per serving. Do not worry, the guys from the pizza delivery were getting more strange requests! If you want spaghetti, choose a high-protein pasta. Use dairy products with low fat content. Do not deprive yourself of pleasure, as very soon you will start to rebel!.

Pause When you are craving for something that you really should avoid - pause. Drink a glass of water and wait 15 minutes. You may find that desire gradually passes. Maybe you just felt thirsty - people often confuse thirst with a feeling of hunger.

Do not break the diet To lose half a kilo a week, you need to limit yourself from 2000 to 2200 calories a day, if you are breastfeeding - from 1600 to 1800, if not. You can add extra calories if you are actively exercising in the gym. But if you try to break your diet and eat much less of this, you will quickly regain any lost weight.

Eat foods high in water Products with high water content (fruits, vegetables, soups, teas) fill you with fewer calories. Water adds weight and volume without adding calories: this reduces the calorie density of foods. In addition, warm foods are more nutritious than cold, so drink a cup of hot tea between meals.

Spare option If you are planning a trip to work, to a doctor and t. , in advance, come up with a list of 3-4 stand-by mini-dishes that you can take with you. Do not give in to the impulse to have a bite on the way with a bun!.
