Losing weight after having a baby

Don’t eat late at night. Eating late at night can cause you to store more fat in your waist and stomach. Stop eating 3 hours before your go to bed. If you need a snack, eat something healthy like a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts (unsalted). Eat often, but in small portions. The less your body peaks and falls on the blood sugar scale, the less likely it will be to overeat and/or store unwanted fat. Ideally, cut calories, but don’t starve yourself. If you eat the right foods and eat often enough, you won’t find yourself eating huge portions and overeating in general. Eat fats like fish oil, sunflower oil, flax seed oil. Also whole grains, legumes, and vegetables and limiting meats. Ease up on the salt and gassy foods that cause you to bloat.

Reduce Stress. Stress can cause the development of abdominal fat. Stress causes the release of Cortisol, and high levels of Cortisol stimulate storage of fat in the belly. Stress can also cause improper digestion leading to gassiness and bloating. Yoga and meditation can help you learn to reduce stress, but also try to assess what causes you stress and what you can do to eliminate it.

Patience. Getting rid of your belly fat, or getting a slimmer waist can take time so be patient. There is no specific drug or plan that will target your waist only. Your waist size is a good indicator of your overall health, meaning, you need to eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water, perform toning exercises and try to be as stress free as possible. Also, the first place you tend to gain wait is usually the last place you lose it, so once you create a plan, stick to it and be patient.

Get out and move. After what you put in your mouth, what you do with your body will determine if you can flatten your belly. Get at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise every day, along with a properly executed abdominal workout. Train your body with strength training activities. Adding muscle tone will help you perform all daily activities as well.

You can also try these exercises:

Belly rolls strengthen your vertical abdominal muscles. Sit with your legs bent, with feet flat on the floor and arms straight in front of you. Exhale and roll back until your lower back touches the ground and stop for a moment. Inhale and roll back up. Repeat 15 times. In the same position, exhale and roll back until your shoulder blades touch the ground and momentarily stop. Inhale and roll back up. Repeat 15 times.

Tummy curls work on your horizontal abdominal muscles. Lie on your back and bend your knees at an (almost) 90-degree angle to the floor with your feet raised slightly higher than your knees. Breathe out, lifting your butt and rolling back to your shoulder blades. Inhale and roll to your tailbone and stop. Try not to let your bottom touch the ground. Repeat 20 times.

This is a favorite of mine as inverted crunches work your lower back which improves posture and strength. Lie on your belly with your arms in front of you as though you are flying like Superman. Exhale, lifting your right arm and left leg as high as you can. As you inhale, lower slowly. Switch, lifting your left arm and right leg. Repeat 20 times. In the same position, lift both arms and legs twenty times.

Burn your belly fat by doing sit and reach exercise. Running and dancing early in the morning. Simple stretching and jumping when you wake up in the morning.

Yoga. Yoga exercise can help reduce the fat around your waist and strengthen your core while helping you maintain your fat levels. Yoga will also help you develop good posture.

Posture. Stand up strait and hold in your stomach. This will strengthen your abs as well as keep your stomach from bulging out. Maintaining a good posture will instantly make your stomach look slimmer and your waist smaller.

Computer time. When you are sitting at the computer, be aware of your posture. Are you hunched over with your stomach bulging out? Make sure you hold in your stomach so you don’t develop a pooch.

Good Luck!
