Nadia Holland had put on 70kgs on her way to becoming a mummy and when she was pregnant again with her second child she had plied on another 36 kgs. From a being a sexy women she had turned out to be a real fat thing. It was then she came across the book written by Nicky McCarthy. This book is a real guide for mums who are looking forward to losing weight.

The book rubishes the believe that a pregnant women should eat for two. This practice is where the whole weight gain starts. Actually the pregnant women should eat for one and a bit. Weight gain during pregnancy is not a necessecity but an effect. This weight gain should be slow and steady.

A pregnant women should not be treated as if she is sick. She should continue doing all the work till the time her body permits. This will help her workout the weight she gained.

In the mordern times, mothers are avoiding breast feeding for the sake of their figure but in reality a lot of extra pregnancy weight is lost during breast feeding.

Rigourous exercise soon after delivery is not advicable. That is the time for the body to heal. It has gone through a lot of stress. The best thing to do is walking, free hand exercises, yoga and maintain a diet. Yoga is a must for new mums. Yoga not only helps you lose weight but also is a cleanins process and is a stress buster.

After delivery, the mother needs to be on a balanced diet. Diet does not mean to eat less. We need to understand that soon after delivery your body has chances of lacking some vitamins. Low level of Hemoglobin is a regular feature. Mothers food should have all sources of nutrients, specially vitamin C. It is a great healer. For Hemoglobin one shouls have two dates a day.

Last but not the least, exercises levels should be increased from the 3rd month after delivery.

We should remember that care is needed not only during pregnancy but after delivery also. Any stress after delivery can also cause serious problems for the mother.
