Postpartum Weight Loss- Gradual Changes Last a Lifetime

Most moms are eager to lose the baby weight.  Often they go full speed ahead, exercising too much and eating too little (i.e. dieting and depriving their bodies).  Unfortunately their weight loss results are temporary because their muscles are too sore and they can’t keep up their dieting.  So before you kick it into high gear tell yourself that you want your weight loss to last a lifetime.  In order for the results to last start slow with 10-15 min. bouts of exercise and work your way up to 30-45 min..   Also make changes in your diet gradual.  For example, substitute white flour for wheat flour such as whole grain breads and pastas.
