As a new mom, there is one thing you do not want to do and that is to go on a starving diet! You need to recover and find a weight loss plan to lose after the pregnancy weight safely. If you are still nursing, I suggest you wait with any diets, but if you are not than here is the one I would recommend. Carb rotation diet and I recommend it because it worked for me.
I originally did two starving diets. I lost some weight and gained it all back with some extra pounds. The fact is, starving diets do not work. They only work temporarily, but in the weeks after you stop your diet, you will gain that pregnancy weight back. The reason is that when you go on a starving diet, your metabolism is still burning more calories and that is why you are losing weight, but when you go back to your regular eating schedule, your metabolism takes time to catch up and that is why you gain the weight back.
To demonstrate: Lets say you were used to consuming 2300 calories per day. You cut your food down to consume 1000 calories per day. Originally your metabolism is still burning what it is used to burning which is 2300 but slowly it shifts to burn only 1000. 1 month into your diet, you lose the pounds and stop it and go back to eating 2300 calories. Your metabolism is confused and continues to burn the 1000. By the time your metabolism catches up, you gain all the weight back and few extra pounds. I know because I made the original mistake to try starving diets first.
But while doing my research, I learned a lot about metabolism and to be honest I got so scared I decided not to pursue any more diets unless I could eat normally and still lose weight. By accident I came across carb rotation diet. You see, the problem is that we need to learn which food to eat that will make our metabolism burn more calories. We need to understand why we gain weight in the first place. The fact is that we stay away from bread because we think we will gain more weight from it, but we do not gain the weight from bread, we gain the weigh from the spread we put on the bread. The weight loss after my pregnancy happened because of this diet, but in addition it changed the eating habits for my whole family.
Finding the diet for weight loss after the pregnancy was really hard, but with this diet I really did not have to change my lifestyle that much to lose that unwanted weight!
