Baby has arrived and it's time to bid the baby fat away! Um... but how? Can it be done without sacrificing nutrition, losing precious time preparing meals, or denting the budget?
In the book, The Baby Fat Diet
, authors Monica Bearden and Shara Aaron, both new moms and dietitians, offer new tips for tried and true tricks that help moms lose the unwanted pounds without breaking the bank. Here are some samples of tips you will find inside the book:
Plan the menu: Make easy meals at home and pack snacks. Get going with breakfast - rev up the metabolism for the day. Add foods to lose - fruits, nuts, whole grains, and veggies fill up not out
Plan the shopping experience: Look up and down the food aisle, the most expensive items are at eye level. Fresh vs. Frozen - Frozen fruits and veggies are picked at the peak of freshness and frozen to lock in the nutrition and taste - plus, frozen products can be more economical. Know what's on sale. Use circulars, manufacturer's coupons, internet and coupon sites. Plan what you make based on what's on sale in the store. Limit impulse buys - stick to the list.
Plan for eating out: Don't drink your calories or jack up the bill - order calorie-free, cost-free water. Be a kid again - order a children's meal with the fruit cup side instead of fries. Skip the mega-calorie dessert at the restaurant and have a small sweet treat at home.
Check it out and good luck! I myself am still strugglling with the jelly belly and my baby will be nearly 1! Arrrgh!
