A mother's life is so focused on her family that she has a
tendency to "let herself go" resulting in a mom with a
weight problem. The inability to lose pregnancy weight fast
is strongly correlated with how you deal with food and the
kind of lifestyle you live. The following reasons are some
of the most common obstacles that prevent women from losing
the excess body fat and keeping it off.
1. Making Poor Food Choices
If the majority of the food you buy from the grocery store
is packaged in a box or can, then you need to make some
serious changes. Most processed foods are high in fat, sugar
and salt and low in vitamins and minerals because these
foods are changed from their organic state for reasons of
safety, longer shelf life and convenience. Processed foods
are bad for your health and can be a roadblock to lose your
pregnancy weight fast.
Not all processed foods are bad. Frozen fruit or vegetables
are good because they still retain their nutrients. As a
general rule, shop mainly around the perimeter of the
grocery store because that's where the fresh produce and
meats are. When buying processed foods remember to read the
ingredients and product labels to know the salt, fat, and
sugar content in the products.
2. Super Size Me
Fast food is addictive. The convenience of fast food is an
easy meal solution for moms on the go. But due to the high
in saturated fat, sugar, salt content, these foods are just
empty calories. Eating too much fast food will increase
your size and is a definite self-sabotage to losing the
pregnancy weight fast.
You don't have to spend hours in the kitchen to eat healthy
meals. Organization and planning ahead are two useful skills
to have when running a busy household. This will allow you
to be able to cook and eat at home. You can discover the
many healthy and tasty recipes by buying a health cook book
or surfing the Internet for free recipes.
3. Bad Eating Habits
Do you eat during the wrong times of the day? Some moms are
so preoccupied with looking after the baby, running errands,
and so on that they forget to eat until the end of their
day. Not fueling your body properly and frequently will
affect your metabolism's normal rate of activity and prevent
you from losing your pregnancy weight fast. Skipping meals
such as breakfast or eating just one big meal for the day
only serves to make your body conserve energy instead of
burning it.
A lethargic metabolism burns less fat making it difficult to
lose pregnancy weight fast. Eating five to six smaller
healthy meals throughout your day will keep your metabolism
humming and you'll burn more calories.
4. Emotional Eating
Do you eat and drink empty calories while watching your
favorite TV show? We all have foods that soothe us when we
are depressed, stressed or bored. Unfortunately, these
comfort foods and are high in fats, salt, sugar and often
times cholesterol.
Remove the temptation to eat junk food by not buying them.
Why not buy healthy snacks instead? Emotional eaters can
seek the appropriate help to learn how to conquer their urge
to medicate themselves with food. Every little change and
effort counts when you want to lose pregnancy weight fast.
5. Lack of Exercise
A busy mom's life maybe fast paced, but if she's not losing
the pregnancy weight fast, it's because she's not getting
enough exercise. Driving around town doing errands, picking
up after your toddler and looking after a household can keep
you busy but not burning the baby fat.
If you want to lose pregnancy weight fast, you have to do
some form of daily exercise that elevates your heart rate
for at least 30 minutes. Going for a brisk walk, every day
rain or shine, will keep the pounds off and you healthy.
Make fitness a family affair and plan a Saturday afternoon
to go roller balding or playing Frisbee at the park. The
choices are endless when it comes to fitness activities.
So have fun and in time exercise will be a normal part of
your daily lifestyle.
Take responsibility for your health by being an informed
consumer. Eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole
grains and lean meats. Exercise daily with and without your
family. Life is what you make it, so take charge to live
healthy and make it fun.

Part-3 The Weight Loss Tips And "Keep It Off
by Florentina Ryan
Part-3 Eat slowly and loss weight : Several thin people take
a long time to consume their food. One method that can help
take off excess pounds is to eat slowly. The explanation
given is because from the time you begin eating it takes the
brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness.
Fast eaters usually eat beyond their true level of fullness
prior to the 20 minute signal had a chance to set in. Slow
down, take smaller bites, and enjoy your food!
Weight loss by eating less fat: Restricting high fat foods
in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. Fats is pack in
9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram
from proteins or carbohydrates. Avoiding fried foods, rich
dressings, take away foods and junk foods and eating at home
instead of eating out is the most sensible way if you want
to loss weight. Eat less calories than your body uses and
you will loss the unwanted weight.
Drinks for losing weight: Removing soda out of your diet
completely can save the average person 360 calories or more
each day. Even diet soda, fruit juices, and whole milk can
add unnecessary calories to your daily intake. Drink lots of
water and switch from whole to skim or even soy milk instead
.The little things can make a big difference.
Weight loss = healthy diet :Moving around, getting up,
exercising will lessen the amount of food that you will need
to cut back on. There are many opportunities to be athletic
and active (i.e. the gym, going for a jog, walk, cycling and
etc.) to raise your activity level. You can walk to the
shop, swim, walk around the block and down the stairs many
times before you take a bath or shower or prior to going to
work. You can walk for 20-30 minutes before you go to bed at
night to increase your activity as well.
Gradual changes are best for losing weight: Ease into your
diet gradually. Bear in mind that small changes are easier
to stick with than drastic ones. Start by leaving a little
extra on your plate, or drinking water instead of soda or
fizzy drinks. Smaller changes are more likely to remain with
you when the duration of your diet is complete. Stick to
your behavior-change goals ,you will be able to maintain
over years, not just weeks.
Do not overeat!Once you are full, stop eating.To eat slowly
is helpful you give your body a chance to recognize that
you've had enough to eat. Bear in mind that it takes a while
for the nutrients in your food to enter your bloodstream,
and circulate to the nerve centers in your brain that
regulate the appetite.
Avoid certain foods when dieting People need to eat fats to
be healthy, make sure that you are eating them in
moderation. Try to balance out a fatty food you ate earlier
in the day by eating celery sticks over chips for snack. Try
to get yourself to think, I know I CAN have it, but should I
have it!
Successful weight loss: Be in it for the long term ! Crash
diets, unsustainable exercise routines will not keep you at
your desired weight for the long term. Focus on realistic,
achievable goals such as,regular exercise and a well
balanced diet that you can live with for years to come. Eat
less calories than you burn and you will loss weight!

Goal Setting Secrets to Avoid Sabotaging a Calories Loss
by Rowena French
One of the most common mistakes that people make when it
comes to weight loss is setting unrealistic expectations
about how much weight they need to lose and how fast they
can lose it. Setting unrealistic weight goals is really
sabotaging your calories loss diet and your efforts to lose
weight. That is why it is important to have some tools you
can use to set realistic weight loss goals for yourself.
The rate of weight loss is considered by doctors and others
in this field to be approximately 1-2 pounds each week.
These may not seem much but it is sufficient for your body
to accommodate your weight loss and remain healthy and it is
also enough to continue to lose weight over an extended
period of time. Aiming for a weight loss greater than this
will see you needing to make drastic cuts to your calories
loss diet that may not be sustained and may also see you
quitting your quest for a slimmer, healthier body and life.
Lower your expectations because losing one to two pounds per
week is healthy and if you weigh yourself at the end of the
week and you have only lost one or two pounds, do not
consider that a failure because it is not. Congratulate
yourself on sticking to your calories loss diet, losing that
weight and focus on losing another one to two pounds the
next week. If you celebrate each pound lost you will be
motivated to keep losing weight and you will be losing
weight in a healthy way with far greater prospects of
keeping it off.
Think in percentages, not pounds as weight loss is not just
about losing a set amount of weight. If you want to get
down to a healthy weight and stay there you should focus on
losing 10-20% of your whole body weight, not just the amount
of pounds you want to lose. You may be surprised about the
amount of weight you need to lose for a doctor to consider
you healthy so if you weigh 200 pounds, losing just 20-40
pounds could put in a healthy weight range.
Include more than one form of weight loss measurement to see
all aspects of your weight loss as your body changes shape.
You can see evidence of your weight loss as this is measured
on your scales but measurement of the size of your chest,
stomach and hips is another effective way to confirm the
re-shaping of your body. Including more than one way of
measuring your weight loss means that you can remain
encouraged when one slows down because the other is likely
to continue to reflect your progress.
Include the number game in your weight loss goals to lose
weight safely, healthily and to keep it off permanently with
a recommended weight loss of 1-2 pounds each week, so that
to lose 20 pounds will take you around 10 weeks. Determining
a weight loss per week may seem constraining but if this
weight loss rate is realistic you will be able to reach it
and it will help you remain committed to your calories loss
eating plan and your exercise routine. The journey towards
permanent weight loss and good health is a reflection of the
hare and the tortoise story where the slow and steady hare
reached his ultimate goal!
To reach your 1-2 pound weight loss goal each week you need
to reduce your daily calorie intake each day by around 500.
To gauge this, use a calories counter and this will enable
you to calculate a balanced menu that includes a range of
foods from each of the major food groups. To lose weight the
numbers need to stack up so knowing how many calories you
consume and how many you use are the central numbers around
which you should plan your calories loss menu and your
exercise.
Set short term goals, but think of long term goals so set
weight loss milestones and celebrate when you reach them.
Buy yourself a new book when you lose 5 pounds, or a new
dress when you hit 10 pounds lost. But even as you are
celebrating each milestone, keep focused on the big picture
and how much weight you want to lose in total. You need to
celebrate your progress along the way but also stay focused
on the big prize at the end because this will make your
persistence to bring about a consistent calories loss worth
the effort.

One of the most common mistakes that people make when it
comes to weight loss is setting unrealistic expectations
about how much weight they need to lose and how fast they
can lose it. Setting unrealistic weight goals is really
sabotaging your calories loss diet and your efforts to lose
weight. That is why it is important to have some tools you
can use to set realistic weight loss goals for yourself.
The rate of weight loss is considered by doctors and others
in this field to be approximately 1-2 pounds each week.
These may not seem much but it is sufficient for your body
to accommodate your weight loss and remain healthy and it is
also enough to continue to lose weight over an extended
period of time. Aiming for a weight loss greater than this
will see you needing to make drastic cuts to your calories
loss diet that may not be sustained and may also see you
quitting your quest for a slimmer, healthier body and life.
Lower your expectations because losing one to two pounds per
week is healthy and if you weigh yourself at the end of the
week and you have only lost one or two pounds, do not
consider that a failure because it is not. Congratulate
yourself on sticking to your calories loss diet, losing that
weight and focus on losing another one to two pounds the
next week. If you celebrate each pound lost you will be
motivated to keep losing weight and you will be losing
weight in a healthy way with far greater prospects of
keeping it off.
Think in percentages, not pounds as weight loss is not just
about losing a set amount of weight. If you want to get
down to a healthy weight and stay there you should focus on
losing 10-20% of your whole body weight, not just the amount
of pounds you want to lose. You may be surprised about the
amount of weight you need to lose for a doctor to consider
you healthy so if you weigh 200 pounds, losing just 20-40

Can We Do anything About Childhood Obesity Or Is It Too late
by Elizabeth Akers
Childhood obesity epidemic can be blamed partly on the
popularity of fast food establishments. The up-size
mentality has taken its toll on children who naturally will
go for grubs that are bigger and excessive. But while the
nutritional needs of children are increasingly being
neglected by busy parents, the rapid advancement in
entertainment gadgets also play a big role in preventing the
kids from doing exercise or any amount of simple physical
activity for that matter. This can all translate to the fact
that many children today eat more calories than they can
spend. So putting two and two together, you can easily
figure out that the environment which the children of today
grow up in is a big factor in bringing about obesity.
Childhood obesity epidemic is a reality in the United States
and many other parts of the globe. As a matter of fact, more
than twenty percent of American children are considered to
be obese and this figure is steadily on the rise. Obesity is
basically defined as a condition where the body accumulates
excessive amounts of fat. To know if your child is indeed
obese, you can consult with your doctor or a dietician.

figure out that the environment which the children of today
grow up in is a big factor in bringing about obesity.
The childhood obesity epidemic can present big problems not
just for the young ones but for their parents as well.
Obesity is among the top causes of deadly diseases like
diabetes and hypertension. This condition can also trigger
coronary heart ailments and premature arthritis or joint
pains. More than all this, obese children may also suffer
from low self-esteem and other psycho-social disorders.
Needless to say, lack of self confidence can always lead to
slower performance in school, sports and even later on in
life.
The good news is that childhood obesity epidemic is not
something that's irreversible. Today, there are many
treatment programs that specifically address the needs of
obese children. Government and private health organizations
are also helping in minimizing, if not eliminating obesity
risk factors. However, treatment of obesity may take a long
time. Experts believe that a child will require an average
of at least eighteen months of treatment for every twenty
percent excess body fat. In other words, getting back to
one's ideal weight will be a hard and slow process.
Nevertheless, there is hope. If you do not want your child
to become a part of the obesity statistics, you can deal
with excess weight as early as now. For more information
