Mommy Without Pounds Review – Best Guide to Lose Weight After Pregnancy by michael review
Many women mistakenly think that after children their body changes forever. They sadly accept the extra pounds and blame it on pregnancy. Thinking your body will never look good again once you have kids is really a myth. I’ve given birth to three and my body hasn’t looked better. Take your bikini out and I’ll demonstrate ways to feel proud to put it on again.
General instructions :
1. Decide what you need and jot it down. You must understand what you want before beginning or else you will don’t know if you have accomplished your ultimate goal. Create a mental picture of how you wish to feel and look. Write it down in detail. List exactly what you want. For example, I wish to weigh “?” pounds and wear a size “?”. I wish to have energy and feel happy and proud after i take a look at my body in the mirror. Be as detailed as possible.
2. Create a visual board. Cut pictures out of magazines of something that motivates you and suits your vision of the way you want to feel and look. This could be words, for example “healthy, happy, fit, beautiful.” Maybe you like colors or certain activities. Whatever it is, include it. Likewise incorporate pictures of fit bodies that are much like how well you see (include images from the neck down only). Using a dream board will help you to visualize daily about what you want. It will likewise keep you motivated and excited about losing weight.
3. Write an agreement on your own. We all know how often we now have started and stopped diets. Often we have the best intentions, but a plate of chocolate chip cookies is just too tempting to resist. When you write a contract on your own and sign it, you will find that you are more committed because you want to honor yourself. Write anything in the present tense, I, (name), invest in eating healthy foods five days a week. I commit to exercising 5 days per week. I promise to follow my exercise and eating plan for 16 weeks. Date and sign anything. Put your start date as well as your end date in your personal calendar.
4. Create an exercise plan. Whatever you write down has more power than thinking it in your mind. Keep a schedule posted that you can see every day. You need to do weight lifting three times a week and cardio exercise four-five times. Most people have limited schedules so you can combine your weight and cardio sessions. Overall, you want to exercise a minimum of 5 days per week. You must exercise regularly for this to become a habit. When your body gets accustomed to exercising almost every day, your body will crave it and you will start to feel uncomfortable if you do not exercise. Again, exercise must become a HABIT…a lifelong habit which is accomplished through repetition. Wait until you’ve your doctor’s approval following the birth of your child to begin. You can start off with 10-15 minutes of exercise and gradually add five minutes to every exercise session each week. A newbie schedule would look like this: Monday – Walk for 10 min, Tuesday – Lift 5lb weights for 10 min, Wednesday – Off, Thursday – Lift 5lb weights for 10 min, Friday – Walk for 10 min, Saturday – Walk for 15 min. You will develop your exercise sessions by 5-10 minutes per week. Listen to your body and increase slowly. You need to gradually condition your body and develop a base fitness level. If you exercised during pregnancy, this is easier and you will be in a position to advance more quickly. Otherwise, you will need to go more slowly. Ultimately, your exercise schedule will be the following: Monday – Cardio Half an hour, Tuesday – Upper Body Weights 30 min, Cardio 30 min, Wednesday – Off, Thursday – Lower Body Weights 30 min, Cardio 30 min, Friday – Cardio 30 min, Saturday – Upper Body Weights 30 min, Cardio 30 min. Sunday – off. You need to alternate Upper and Lower Body weight sessions (one week 2 Upper and 1 Lower and next week 2 Lower and 1 Upper). I suggest power walking, running, elliptical trainer, and biking for cardio sessions. Upper and lower body weight lifting workouts are well detailed in many books. Do 3-4 sets of each exercise and 12-15 repetitions. Also do two different exercise for every group of muscles. For instance should you train lower body, you’d do two different exercises for every muscle group – hamstrings, quadriceps, butt, calves, and inner and outer thighs. For quadriceps you can do Leg Extensions and Squats.
5. Eat well and keep a food diary. Choose as many organic products as you can afford. Write down everything you eat to increase your awareness and so you will reconsider each bite you are taking. Research has proven that people who write down the things they eat, lose significantly more weight compared to those who don’t as well as keep it off. Eat 3 meals a day with two snacks. Be sure you eat a healthy breakfast in the morning and prevent eating by 7:30 through the night. If you must eat something later at night, eat as little as possible and eat something containing protein. Protein provides you with consist energy and keep you full longer. Chose low glycemic carbohydrates so that they burn slowly and keep your sugar level stable. A healthy breakfast will be 1 serving steel cut oats and 3 scrambled egg-whites. Protein shakes will also be delicious in the morning rather than eating food. Eat a snack three hours later for example 1 serving of almonds. Eat lunch 2-3 hours later. Include a protein, carbohydrate, along with a vegetable. Eat your afternoon snack three hours later and have nuts, a bit of fruit, or a protein shake or bar. Dine 2-3 hours later and can include a protein, carbohydrate, and vegetable. I additionally eat a piece of fruit for desert. When it comes to sweets and unhealthy foods, I schedule 2 days where I eat something sweet or possess some type of unhealthy food. It’s difficult to be perfect 100% from the time, but when you have scheduled days where one can indulge some favorite treats you’re more prone to eat healthy the rest of the time. Remember the old 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time eat healthy and also the other 20 % you can indulge a little. A healthy diet is so important. I had to spend a long time to find this out. I’d been doing triathlons and exercising for a long time before I figured out the reason I wasn’t losing weight was because of my diet. I was eating a mostly vegetarian diet which consisted of mainly high glycemic carbohydrates! I’d borderline gestational diabetes with my first child and that was a huge awaken call. I discovered eating consistently throughout the day, combining carbs and proteins at meals, and things to chose for healthy carbohydrates. After changing my diet to incorporate more protein and healthier carbohydrates, I dropped from the size 10 to some size 4. My last two pregnancies were completely healthy and that i dropped the weight I gained very quickly after giving birth.
6. Spend time with people who’re healthy and fit. When you’re around others who exercise and eat healthy, it will be easier to remain on track. Discuss your fitness goals and listen to theirs. Share ideas from magazines and ask questions. Getting support from others will help you to reach your goals easier.
7. Make your health and fitness a top priority in your life. You MUST take time on your own every day. If you have children, your free time dramatically decreases. However, the requirements on you dramatically increase and being healthy is a must. If you are married, discuss this with your spouse and explain this can be a MUST in your life and ask for his support in taking care of your child (children) as you exercise. Should you aren’t married, join an inexpensive gym like Cardinal Fitness (check for similar ones in your area). I pay $20 per month and a little extra for the babysitting room but it is money wisely spent. Take an hour for yourself daily and your body will thanks forever!
