Many mums find it difficult to have a healthy weight loss and most of the young mothers are frightened to take steps to cut out their calories.

They think it can be achieved with a healthy diet and simple exercises, but the real fact is to keenly focus on getting back to the desired shape which requires immense care and safety measures.

If you have had a baby and are trying to lose your calories, here are some fantastic tips to get back your shape.

Post pregnancy requires time for the body to take a rest and recover, it may take up to six weeks or so depending upon the body. So it is very important to wait for recovery.

For caesarean delivery, it may take a little longer time for the body to recover fully.

As you have just crossed your strenuous feat, you might be tiring as your hormones are bit weaker and getting back to recover.

So, don’t put your body under stress by having a strategic diet.

• Take healthy snacks like yoghurt, nuts, fiber-rich grains and cereals

Make note of your daily intake with a food diary to track your eating habits.

2. Breastfeed your Baby

It is a truth that women who breastfeed burn up calories easily. It is because of the amount of energy it takes to produce milk.

Few mums don’t find weight loss until they stop breastfeeding. But it generally depends on how healthy you are and intake of calories.
