Post-Baby Eating Tips
High-fiber diets are great for dropping weight. Add whole grains like brown rice, and fiber-rich fruits and veggies like broccoli, apples and beans to your diet.
Eliminate sources of calories that don’t contribute to nutritional health. All those little pregnancy indulgences must go.
Downsize your calories by about 20 to 25 percent once you’re done breast-feeding (you no longer need that extra 500 calories a day).
On an ideal day, about 40 percent of your calories should be good carbs, four to five servings of fruits and veggies and do not forget to load up on animal protein, of course. Keep fat to 20 percent of total calories. [source: OK!]
