Balanced meals: Instead of completely cutting back on your meals, start by opting for balanced meals. Eat smart meals that consist of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, low-fat dairy products, etc. We also highly recommend including our Healthy Mummy smoothies in your meal plan. Enriched with all the required nutrients, our Healthy Mummy smoothies are a great meal replacement supplement that keep you energised and help you lose weight in a healthy way.
Walk: Instead of beginning your weight loss plan with rigorous workouts, start by simply taking walks for 15 – 20 mins each day and let your body get used to this new routine. Take the stairs whenever you can and walk to your nearest stores instead of taking your car, this way you will lose weight fast and in a healthy way.
Eat when hungry only: This is extremely important when beginning your journey to fast weight loss. Try to not give into your cravings and eat only healthy meals when you are actually hungry.
Join activity groups: There are a lot of exercise groups for mums looking to lose weight fast post pregnancy. Become a member of your local group and get inspired by others like you.
