How to Lose Baby Weight Like Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek is a saucy movie actress with a powerful career, a vibrant personality and a passion for motherhood. This article will tell you how she lost her baby weight gradually and intelligently without sacrificing her health, the health of her baby or her enviable curves.

Instructions

1

Take your time. Salma was realistic from the very beginning when it came to post-partum weight loss and realized that it takes time to both gain and lose the baby weight. By maintaining a casual approach to weight loss, you can eliminate a wide range of anxiety and stress (which can lead to weight gain).

2

Eat to fuel your baby and yourself. Salma spoke openly about the myth that breastfeeding alone will help mothers drop post-partum pounds quickly, and admitted that dieting during breastfeeding can sacrifice the quality and amount of milk produced. Breastfeeding mothers need an extra 500 calories per day for an adequate milk supply, so focus on making all meals extremely nutritious.

3

Keep your breastfeeding baby in mind. He is drinking everything you are eating. Salma has discussed the challenges of creating a nutritious diet that is full of the very best nutrients for her breastfeeding baby. Research healthful breastfeeding diets and eat frequent, small meals full of natural vitamins from produce, nuts and seeds, dairy, lean protein, whole-grain carbohydrates and healthy fats.

4

Skip alcohol, caffeine and sugary items while breastfeeding (or any other foods that were avoided during pregnancy). Salma stays slim with a clean lifestyle that forgoes beer or fried foods in favor of well-rounded indulgences of red wine or the occasional dessert.

5

Stay active with your child. Salma is different from many in Hollywood because she stays trim merely through an active lifestyle. Try mimicking Salmas routine by walking instead of driving whenever possible, carrying the weight of your baby during daily tasks (like shopping), and simply getting outside to play with your baby.
