The first thing you should know is: DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF!!!!!!

TIPS:

• Start getting on the habit of eating every 3 hours... that makes your metabolism work a little faster helping you lose weight!
  
• Drink your 8 glasses of COLD water and remember... your body needs to work extra to turn that cold water into your body's temperature!!
• Eat small portions, you are not going to be hungry because you are eating often!
• Eat 6 times a day: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack , supper, snack ( 3 hours in between )
• Always leave the house with a healthy snack like a power bar, just in case you are hungry so you don't end up stopping at a fast food place.
• Try to eat you carbs for lunch and have something light for supper, your body works better in the morning.
• Try not to eat and drink at the same time, drink either 30 min before or 30 min after a meal.
• Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, but watch out for the calories, if something is high in calories, eat just a little bit to satisfy you.
• Juice is very healthy, but it can contain a lot of sugar!!!! watch for that!!!
• One thing I love and that I find to be helping me a lot as well is to eat a couple of oranges before I go to bed as my night snack... try that!!!
• Eat at least 1200 calories a day, this is what an average person should be consuming. 

It's easy to lose a few pounds, you just have to WANT it!!!

    We all know that most people struggles with their weight after having a baby. Some people goes back to their normal weight almost immediately, others are on all types of diets to desperately lose a couple of pounds.

    After having my child, I lost a few pounds but not to the point that I would be comfortable in a bikini. My beach vacation was coming up and I bought for the first time a 1 piece swimsuit. I felt very uncomfortable the whole trip and decided that first thing I would do when I got back was go on a diet!

    On my first week back from vacation I went to my doctor and he said that to get back to my ideal weight I would have to lose at least 20 pounds.

    I have tried many methods to lose weight before: diet pills after diet pills, no more carbs, no more this, no more that... you name it, I did it, and nothing seamed to work. I thought to myself that I didn't want to give up anything, and this time around I wanted to lose weight the healthy way.

    I got some tips from my doctor and I started my own diet...2 months later I have lost 25 pounds.
