Drink Water

Drink sips of water throughout the day. Eight glasses is the recommended amount. This will not only prevent you from getting dehydrated but will also flush out the toxins from your body.

Remember that it is best to have water at room temperature, rather than chilled fridge water, when you are trying to lose weight. Also begin a routine of drinking half a glass of lukewarm water with a teaspoon of honey and the juice of half a lemon.

Get Adequate Sleep

It is true that with your new born you might not get to sleep eight hours a day. But get as much as possible. Follow the age old advice of ‘sleep when you baby sleeps’ and get help, in-laws, parents, friends or even a nanny, to look after your child for some periods of time when you can catch up on some sleep. It really does help.

Studies have shown that those who sleep less than five hours every day find it more difficult to lose weight. This is because of the hormone, cortisol, which is released by a tired body.
