When you are pregnant you will gain some weight. The old saying "eat for two" is outdated as you don't need to eat for two. You do however need to have a healthy diet with plenty of nutrient type foods. If you cave into cravings, like chocolate, washed down with slurpee's (embarrassingly, like I did), well, you are probably a little more than a little overweight now. Sometimes those cravings are too intense to ignore, but there are some effective after pregnancy diets that will get you back in shape before you know it.
Besides the weight gain in general, the other extra weight you put on includes approximately:
* placenta 8 pounds
* blood supply 2-3 pounds
* uterus increase - 5-9 pounds
* amniotic fluid 2-3 pounds
* breast tissue 2-3 pounds
* fat stores for delivery and breastfeeding 4 pounds
No wonder you've put on weight, and now you are ready to lose the extra pounds. The most effective after pregnancy diets are the natural, healthy-based plans. You'll want to use a diet that doesn't forbid some of the foods you love. Some diets include diet generators which saves you the time and trouble of figuring out what foods, in what amounts, are safe to eat, in order to lose weight correctly.
Finding a diet plan that you can use forever is ideal. You don't want to go on a diet where you are starving, because lack of food will only slow down your metabolism, and with a sluggish metabolism, you not only will find it impossible to lose weight, but you will most likely gain weight.
Avoiding any type of diet pills right now would be a smart decision, especially if you are breastfeeding. Try one of the healthier diet plans that helps you lose all the weight you need to, but also improves your overall health and well-being.
