8 Must Know Tips to Lose Baby Weight

1. Focus on Eating Healthy Food rather Cutting Calories


Focus on eating healthy foods rather than starving yourself if you want to lose weight and keep it off. You need healthy food and nutrients to give you energy and to support your milk supply if you're breastfeeding. 


Focus on Quality rather than Quantity.


Cut back on:

  • Sugary snacks
  • Fried food
  • Highly processed grains like white bread and white pasta
  • Soft drinks

Instead have:

  • Fruit and veggies
  • Raw, steamed and baked foods
  • Wholegrains like brown rice, quinoa and brown pasta
  • Drink plenty of water

2. Eat More Nutrients to avoid Craving Junk Food


When you don’t get enough nutrients your body sends “hungry messages” to your tummy urging you to eat more food when all you really need is more nutrients. 


When you eat healthy food that gives your body enough nutrients you will naturally crave less junk food.


Try to "eat a rainbow" every day. Eating the rainbow involves eating fruits and vegetables of different colours every day. Plants contain different pigments, or phytonutrients, which give them their colour. Different-coloured plants are linked to higher levels of specific nutrients and health benefits. For example orange helps immune function and healthy eyes. Purple helps memory and healthy aging. 

3. Eat Protein with Every Meal


Protein is the Queen of Fat Loss.


It keeps you feeling full and prevents cravings for sugar.


Protein also boosts your energy & helps your baby develop and grow new cells.

4. Eat smaller meals, more often


A Harvard Medical School report revealed eating smaller meals more often will prevent you from getting too hungry and overeating unhealthy foods.


Try not to skip meals. Skipping meals can make you more hungry later in the day which can lead to overeating anything in sight! It is easier to make healthy choices when you are not starving hungry.


Aim for breakfast, lunch, dinner plus a morning and an afternoon snack.

5. Keep Hydrated


Your body can actually mistake thirst for hunger, so make sure you drink enough to avoid overeating and weight gain. 


The Australian Government Department of Health recommends 2 litres (about 8 cups) of fluid each day for women.


When you're breastfeeding, you need to keep hydrated to replace the fluid lost in breast milk.


Carry around a water bottle with you throughout the day to sip on.

6. Sweet Tooth?


Try fresh fruit or dried fruit with yoghurt to satisfy those sweet cravings.


And smoothies are are a great way to satisfy your sweet cravings and get a ton of nutrients in the one sitting. 

7. Move More


If you've just had a baby you need to avoid strenuous exercise. Walking is an effective and safe form of exercise for new mums. Walking burns calories and releases "happy hormones" in your brain. Meet a friend for a walk rather than a coffee - or do both! 


Look for ways you can move more throughout the day. Park further away from the supermarket or take the stairs rather than the lift.


When you move more it makes you feel good. And when you feel good it helps you to make healthy choices.

8. Consistency is Key


Consistency and building healthy habits is the key to your success.


We suggest to follow the 90/10 rule. Aim to be healthy for 90% of the time and you can indulge for 10%.


And don't worry if you slip up from time to time. The most important thing is that you get back on the wagon and keep going. No one ever succeeds by giving up! 


You can do this! When there is a will, there is a way! Success can be yours!

It has literally boosted my milk supply. I used to pump 160mls and now I average 240mls .. I've never been able to get that."

"I've lost 35 kgs thanks to the In Shape Mummy Health Shakes. 110 kgs to 75 kgs! Juggling two little boys under 2 years old doesn't leave much time for healthy choices for Mummy and the In Shape Mummy Health Shake is such an easy solution to get all the goodness I need to keep going! My older son is 20 months and I didn't get the chance to lose the weight gained whilst carrying him before I was pregnant again with baby #2. I easily gained 40kgs across the two pregnancies and no thanks to terrible pelvic pain in pregnancy #2 wasn't able to keep active. Now that my second son is here and the pelvic pain has gone I have stuck to replacing breakfast with my shake and walking every morning for the duration of the morning sleep. Some days I will do a second shorter walk during his nap. I'm still able to enjoy yummy healthy foods and definitely do not feel like I'm going without. I no longer crave sugary foods as the shake sets me up for the day with its magical satisfying ingredients! The shake has become even more of a must since returning to work! If I thought I was busy before, life just got a whole lot busier! Now that I've lost the weight, I have more energy, zero aches and pains and have a better mood. I tell all my friends about In Shape Mummy because easy weight loss doesn't need to be a secret!

"I discovered In Shape Mummy Health Shakes not long after my second baby was born. He has an intolerance to dairy so I was looking to find something that was safe for breastfeeding, and also vegan friendly. I have recently started a detox program with the help of a naturopath. She was so impressed with the ingredients that she has encouraged me to continue having it! In Shape Mummy has not only helped me lose the 26 kgs I put on in pregnancy, but it’s helped me nourish my body when I’ve been time poor and sleep deprived. It’s the only shake that I actually enjoy the taste of! My breakfast everyday includes ice, almond milk, water, a banana and my In Shape Mummy (my current fave is the caramel fudge!). At 11 months postpartum I feel great! And my breastfeeding journey is still going strong - my milk is in perfect supply for what Bub needs. I cannot recommend In Shape Mummy Health Shakes more highly!”

"I have lost over 30kg with In Shape Mummy Health Shakes, exercise and a complete diet change. ⁠⁠ I started at size 22 and am a loose size 12 at the moment… and nearly a 10! ⁠I feel so much better! With my injuries in my spine, pelvis and knee my weight loss has been the best thing for my pain. ⁠
7-8 months ago I couldn’t have even imagined I could drop this much weight! The change in my life has been insane! ⁠ My advice to other mums is “stick with it and don’t give up!” ⁠ Thanks so very much for your In Shape Mummy Health Shakes. They are the best thing for mums on the go and while breastfeeding as well. Words can not express how grateful I am with my weight loss. I couldn’t of started this without your shakes. My life is forever changed." ⁠
