Postpartum weight loss may be easier drinking GREEN TEA and EXERCISING. Mice that exercised and drank green tea lost more weight than those just exercising or just drinking green tea says the International Journal of Obesity.
Teariffic fat
burner A Japanese study showed that the chemical in tea (Oolong,
green or black) called teasponin prohibits fat buildup. Teasponin
inhibits blood fat level and pancreatic lipase activity in mice. Pancreatic
lipase is THE enzyme in fat digestion. When Teasponin deactivates
it, fat can't be absorbed - it just passes through until it goes to
waste (potty No.) Teasponin also reduces both abdominal fat stores,
and the size of the fat cells. Is it tea time yet?
Fish kills
hunger pangs a Mayo study found that fresh water fish eaters have
lower levels of the hunger hormone leptin. So besides lowering heart
disease, cholesterol and cancer it's also lowering your weight.
Postpartum
Shape Up The six months following childbirth are the easiest time for a woman
to lose weight. During pregnancy, your body's levels of estrogen,
progesterone, leptin, insulin and fat lipase reach al-time highs.
They ensure that you will have adequate stores of fat to keep the
baby growing. After delivery, your hormone hiatus causes an increased
metabolism and resistance to weight gain. You'll keep your weight
loss advantage for as many as nine months if you breastfeed.
No More Red-Eye
For New Moms: According to Dr. Perricone's new book "The
Perricone Prescription", drinking green tea instead of coffee
will help melt off pounds. Apparently coffee raises hormone levels
of cortisol and insulin which accelerates aging and storage of body
fat. Green tea's catechin polyphenols boost your metabolism and reduce
absorption of bad fats by 30%. So pregnant or not; avoid coffee.
