Pregnancy is a beautiful part of our life, while I pray for every one trying so hard to conceive, I also want to help those who have pass the stage and want to cut down the fat, this process came with.

1. Set a goal and be diligent about it: Starting something new really excites everyone, but not everyone remains motivated enough to see to the end.  Ensure you start the day you planned to, whatever it is just needs to start happening and it could be on a Monday, Wednesday or a Saturday. After a while, step up to reach your goal, because, day one is usually so exciting and looks so easy. I hope you can keep up with the enthusiasm.

2. Kick start your morning with water, a glass or two can help the process before eating or drinking anything else. No matter who you are, we all wake up slightly dehydrated from our overnight fast and dehydration gives us a false sense of true hunger! Try it tomorrow morning! Drink some water before you eat your morning meal.

3. Eat oatmeal or wheat bread and a cup of tea as breakfast (skimmed milk, coffee/green tea and honey preferably). Use a smaller bowl in place of a big bowl (size matters a lot) and measure your food intake, don’t always eat to fill.

4. Eat more fruit and vegetables instead of more carbohydrate and protein, especially those rich in fiber. Fiber keeps you full for a longer period of time.

5. Reduce the intake of simple sugar, eat healthy fat and if you must eat out, then be smart about it.

6. Embrace at least 10-15 minute of exercise daily, even jogging on a spot, in the comfort of your room, can do wonders for you.

7. Ensure you sleep 6-8 hours daily, it means you have to sleep before 11am to get more sleep.
 

8. Most importantly, never skip breakfast.
