Trying to lose weight, gradually after birth?
I’m trying to lose 15-20# since giving birth. I eat mainly chicken, pork and beef, grilled or baked. Sides are usually a carbohydrate, potato, rice, pasta. Any suggestions for healthier sides? I drink green tea, flavored water and 1 pop a day. Breakfast is usually skipped because I am in a hurry. I find myself craving sweets more, chips and candy bars.Is there a healthy sweet snack out there? Also, what can I eat between meals, keep in mind I’m at work and it needs to be finger foods.
Thanks for your help.

well to answer your question about healthy sweet snacks…there are lots of things in walmart such as slimfast or other dietary brands. They come in bars or whatever…and they have chocolate or other sweet things. Ummh…your question about what can you eat between meals…definitely fruit…maybe an apple, grapes, anything of that nature. And sides think of a salad good, and nutritious.
Hope my advice helped. Good Luck!
If I may make a couple suggestions for your diet that helped me lose a ton of weight.
one do NOT skip breakfast, your body is starving after a night of rest and if you do not eat breakfast it wont burn fat it will actually start eating your muscle
second if you find time that you cant make yourself breakfast and you really are in a hurry grab an apple or something because you need something in your stomach, preferably something high in fiber to fill you up and not slow down your metabolism, because if you starve yourself the body goes into slow burning mode because it thinks theres say a famine going on
third for say a lunch stick to a nice and simple sandwhich like turkey with a healthy bread, I use wheat, white bread has more sugar, and wheat tends to be healthier for you, and have some carrots or celary or some kind of fruit as a side
fourth if you want to continue having beef try to limit it, mostly because of the fat content, same goes with beef, try going with grilled chicken or fish for your meats they’re high in protein and low in fat
fifth in terms of healthier sides for dinner you can’t really go wrong, theres plenty of veggies, find some that you like and fill it up, and a tip to fill yourself up so you don’t get hungry later is make your meat the side dish and the veggies the main meal
sixth if you really are craving something sweet (we all do) try picking up some sugar free jello cups they’re only 10 calories, they’re sweet, good tasting, and tend to kill or at least kick it down to a controllable level if you’re having a real sugar jones
seventh for between meals a serving of fruit is usually recommended like some grapes, an orange, or an apple for some examples

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!
