Along with your beautiful baby Mother Nature most likely has given you extra body fat on your hips, thighs, buttocks, and waist. This is suppossed to help with motherhood, but we don't have the same need for that extra body fat as women once did. So how do we use Mother Nature to our advantage.

Look for and eat foods as close to their natural state as possible. Prepare your meals and choose your snacks from fresh produce, lean meats, cheeses, and use herbs and spices to flavor foods instead of calorie filled butters and oils. There are many recipes for salsas that can be used to flavor salads and meats. Nowdays salsa doesn't necessarily mean tomatoes, chilis and onions. You can make a salsa using fruits, beans and a variety of other fruits or vegetables. The health benefits are numerous and they all are low in calorie and naturally help to speed up metabolism and help you to feel full longer.

Take advantage of the opportunity to burn calories while doing household chores. Gardening, washing dishes by hand, hanging out clothes, and mopping the floor on your hands and knees are just a few of the ways that you can get the house work done and burn off extra calories.

Learn to work with Mother Nature and not against her, then you will be back into your pre pregnancy clothes in no time.
