One would think that with all the technological advancements and the conveniences that came with it, a mother's life today would have more time on her side and be the healthier for it. On the contrary, these days moms have less time and are less healthy. Part of the problem to losing pregnancy weight, is that many moms go for the fad diets because it seems like the quickest route possible to burn the baby fat. Fad diets are like fairytales full of promise and hope for our weight loss dreams to come true, but the reality is that most fairytales don't end up happily ever after, the same is true with dieting.
We are told to eat a balanced diet, which seems simple enough but in today's world we don't have or make the time to do so and to make matters worse, we are getting more and more over weight for lack of trying. If you want to burn the baby fat, the natural thing to do would be to cut back on your caloric intake. All diets do this but the majority of them are missing the "nutritionally balanced" part.
No Food Diet
You have to eat to live. Starving yourself is going against the natural activity of eating that is required for your body's sustenance. Not only will you deprive your body from the nutrients necessary for its normal bodily functions, you will be slowing your metabolism and your body's ability to burn the baby fat.
Severely reducing your caloric intake to burn the baby fat will "gear" down your metabolism into "starvation" mode and instead of burning the baby fat quickly, your body will hold on to your body fat by burning it slowly. As soon as you return to eating a regular diet, your body will still be working to save energy resulting in you gaining back more pounds than you started with. Burning the baby fat requires that you do the opposite of starving yourself which is eating a balanced diet in which you eat more often but fewer calories.
Hollywood Diets
Hollywood diets have been around for a while and they seem to be here to stay. Part of their "staying" power is the Starlets that use them to maintain the "fabulous" Hollywood look. Wanting to look like a Celebrity mom can lead to moms dieting like them to burn the baby fat. These diets usually claim to have a special ingredient that will make you lose the pregnancy weight fast but you'll only gain it back as quickly as you lost it.
We all know that a fad diet is something we can't do indefinitely but we do so only to burn the baby fat as fast as possible. Celeb moms who resort to the "Beverly Hills type" diets risk their health for their careers and why should you do the same just to fit into your skinny jeans? You are a mother which is has more value than a career or skinny jeans.
