It was just the other day that I was talking to my friends, a dietician and a gynecologist who had several years of experience dealing with new mothers that consider it a herculean task to lose weight post delivery; they both were of the opinion that building simple habits would help to steadily shed that flab that one gains during pregnancy.



6 tips top lose weight post delivery: 


    
1) The first great tip to weight loss post delivery lies in following a healthy diet; it is best to avoid fad diets as the newborn depends upon you for all his/her nutritional wants. It was best to consult a dietician and take a diet that is rich in essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fiber and good fats like Omega 3 fatty acids. Home cooked whole foods are preferable to eating out; eating out could build you on calories with sizzlers and cheesecakes. Avoid meats like beef and pork and go in for lean meats, pulses and fish.
