Lose the Pregnancy Weight with these Six Snacks

by Teresa Brown


It's so easy to get greasy takeout or ready to eat meals
instead of cooking something healthy. But if you do have to
snack try these six power foods to keep you on track to lose
the pregnancy weight.

1. Spinach - Popeye didn't rely on this powerhouse veggie
for no reason. Spinach is rich with nutrients like vitamin C
and K plus iron and folic acid. Spinach does wonders for
strengthening your muscles and bones with its calcium
content and its lutein is said to prevent cancer and eye
deterioration. Make spinach tasty by adding it to your
omelet with some feta and tomatoes.

2. Almonds - Almonds are known for their "good fat" which is
monounsaturated. This helps lower cholesterol but almonds
are also a great source of protein and of fiber. Try them in
a trail mix or with your salad.

3. Blueberries - These fantastic fruits boost your immune
system with their litany of vitamins and minerals. A great
source of antioxidants, they are said to be age reversing.
So moms should load up to look younger and burn the baby
fat. Try them in a low fast milkshake.

4. Avocados - Another wonderful antioxidant, avocados will
help lose the pregnancy weight fast. They are great sources
of potassium which helps regulate your body's own minerals.
Try avocados in your salad as well or on a bagel with
tomatoes and cheese.

5. Oatmeal - The most important source of fiber, oatmeal is
a staple that never dies. This food will keep you feeling
full longer preventing you from resorting to unhealthy snack
attacks. Try it in your cookies or muffins for a great way
to lose the pregnancy weight.

6. Peanut Butter - The peanut butter and jelly staple in
your childhood might have been the best thing you ate as a
kid. Peanut butter is a brilliant source of protein and it's
a good way to get your magnesium, which helps with building
bones. I love peanut butter with a banana but it's also good
with honey on toast.

Lose the pregnancy weight fast with these six snacks. These
foods will help you get on track with your healthy lifestyle
but remember to schedule in your fitness routine as well.
Becoming a sexy mommy won't be hard with these six
powerhouse foods!
