10 Tips for Losing Your Post-Baby Belly

Replace fatty meats with leaner options like chicken and fish. Wild salmon is a great source of Omega-3s, which has been shown to reduce inflammation and help with weight loss. Women with breastfeeding infants should limit tuna intake to 6 oz. a week and avoid swordfish, due to concerns about methyl mercury levels.

Drink Lots of Water
Water is like the oil that keeps the wheels turning smoothly. Hydration is essential for weight loss, helping digestion and suppressing your appetite. If you can press your skin and it doesn't spring back quickly, you might be dehydrated. Aim for eight glasses a day.

Get Support
Ask for help, whether it be talking to your family about keeping the junk food out of the house or working with a nutritional expert to come up with a more specific diet plan. See if your partner can watch the baby while you take a walk or a nap (don't underestimate the power of restful sleep). And make sure you're getting the emotional support you need as well, because we all know that feeling sad often times equals a pint of ice cream.
