Tips to Say Goodbye to Love Handles

Congratulations on delivering your bundle of joy! As you get back to your routine life now, you wish your belly would return to its pre-pregnancy phase too. Did you think that the moment the baby is delivered you will be on your way to a flat stomach?

Well, you are not alone in thinking like that. The fact is that though you have lost the bulk of the pregnancy weight, you still have to deal with some extra belly fat and unless you pay attention to it, the muscles will stay flabby.

Fat loss also helps in reducing the risk of various diseases, helping you take greater care of your baby and enjoying life to the fullest.

Diet: A well-rounded diet with fruits, vegetables, legumes, lean meat and low-fat dairy products boosts your metabolism and keeps you away from adding kilos.

* Reduce your sodium intake and focus on high-fiber foods that increase the metabolism rate.

* Also avoid consumption of processed foods as well as stuff that is high in saturated fats like cakes, sweets and chocolates.

* Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and stock your refrigerator with healthy food options to avoid temptations.

* In no situation should you skip meals to avoid over-eating, since you need to remain more focused and energetic these days.
