A trend being made ever so popular by Hollywood's hottest expecting ladies is showing off your bulging baby bump and it's one of the joys of conceiving.
Unless you're one of the Hollywood hotties, then shedding that baby bump so quickly after delivery may not be an easy task. However, if you are over 25 and certainly over 30, then chances are losing the baby weight may seem like a losing battle.
Not only has our body packed on the pounds during pregnancy, but along with age, comes a natural tendency to favor fat and gain weight. When, for an undetermined but specific amount of time, a certain fat level is reached and maintained, the body will work at conserving it and will accept this level as normal.
Other physiological systems kick and foster re-gain as you start to get rid of those extra pounds. Also affected in ways that encourage fat to make its way back are neurotransmitters and hormones that control your activity level, your hunger level, and how you metabolize food.
But hope is something experts would assert and it may only take conscious effort and more time. Instead of seeing it as just a "temporary" diet plan that is geared at simply shedding some extra pounds, they should be viewed and treated as a lifestyle change.
Among the key factors to dropping the weight and keeping it off is the amount of exercise you do over the long haul. Experts suggest a few times a week if possible, but even that may not be enough. In fact, the ideal amount would amount to about 30 minutes per day, even if it's done at intervals, which is also a great way to help you not only maintain a healthy weight, but stay healthy as well.
Also, studies would show that for most people, they would need about 60-90 minutes of moderate exercise each day just so they can lose weight and keep it off and they would suggest breaking it into intervals as well. Exercise can also be incorporated into daily activities such as walking instead of driving, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and so on. Starting off slow, taking it easy, and building up gradually is what they would caution those who are or may be out of shape.
Overall, you should strive to find a program that's practical and easy for you to commit and stick to. Goals that are small and achievable will enable you to see the results and in turn, they will motivate you to continue on your successful path.
