EAT SMART. What do BROCCOLI, BANANAS, and WHOLE GRAIN BREAD have in common? According to author Theresa Francis-Cheung, these are nutrient-rich foods that can "eliminate hunger, erase water weight, and speed up your body's fat-burning power." WHAT I DID: I made a copy of these foods to help slim me down my postpartum body and stuck it on my fridge. You've gotta read more about it in Chapter 22 of Pregnancy Weight Management.
DRINK WATER BEFORE and AFTER exercise to prevent dehydration. Read about the importance of drinking water. Drinking water helped me lose weight after pregnancy because it helped flush out excess water weight. WHAT I DID: Wash out an empty 64 oz. apple juice container, fill up with water in the AM, and empty it by the end of the day.
How to squeeze in a workout after the baby: Exercise with your baby. Join a gym with childcare. Put the baby in the swing while you sweat. Exercise while baby naps.
