Drink Yourself Skinny!

Since having a baby I have been asked many times how I lost the baby weight, especially how I was able to do it quickly.  So, I thought I would share my secret on the Blog today.
Since graduating from BYU with a degree in Health Education, as well as having a minor in P.E./ Coaching,  nutrition, exercise and an active lifestyle have been essential to my physical well being.

At times I am asked, “What diet are you on?”  I must admit, I stare blankly at them as I try to come up with some easy answer.  The truth is, I have found that what works best for me is to drink plenty of water and incorporate protein shakes and smaller healthy meals.  I know they say breakfast is the most important meal.  This is why I hydrate immediately after waking up, then follow the glasses of water with a protein shake mixed in my Blender Bottle.  I feel this give me more energy and reduces my need for unnecessary sugars.   My first solids of the day are around noon, or later

I am not sure if this exact routine will fit everyone, however, I have found that it works well for me and I feel less lethargic in the mornings and throughout my day.

    I have done this routine during pregnancy and nursing two children. The biggest thing with nursing and supply is staying hydrated. I use any whey protein shake, I stay away from soy. I also like lean proteins. I have been traveling for almost two months and I cant remember my favorite brand off the top of my head but ill get that to you. I hope this was helpful and thank you for your comments.
