Quickly after answering questions about which exercises to do to lose pregnancy weight, I begin to get questions about which foods help lose pregnancy weight.

Moms are inundated with outdated diet information, myths and outright lies on a daily basis. There seems no shortage of scammers out there trying to steal your money because you trust that they can help you lose pregnancy weight, lose your tummy fat and finally get your body back...without devoting hours and hours to crazy workouts or a freaky diet.

It really makes me sick.

But I’m here to show you 3 of the best foods to help you lose pregnancy weight and lose your tummy fat!

We're going to start with spinach.

A lot of moms think of salads as a great way to lose pregnancy weight, and they’re right. However where many moms drop the ball is with the type of lettuce used.

Iceberg lettuce is useless because it’s mostly water and there’s no nutrient content to it (no fiber, and very few vitamins and minerals).

Spinach, on the other hand, is a great way to lose pregnancy weight because it’s loaded with fiber plus it’s high in vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, which will help you boost your immune system, and get your strength back – plus it’ll help your baby if you’re nursing.

Next on the list of foods to help you lose pregnancy weight is turkey breast.

Chicken breast is usually the meat that gets touted as king (or queen?) when moms want to lose pregnancy weight, but turkey breast is just as good.

It’s low in fat and high in protein, plus it can be added to almost anything.

You should bake up a few turkey breast at the beginning of the week and store them in the refrigerator that way you have them handy for lunch and dinner.

You’ve got enough to worry about with your family, not to mention getting rid of your mommy belly, you don’t need to spend time worrying about meal planning!

Personally, I add turkey breast to all my lettuce salads (which are high in spinach) and use them for pitas and wraps as well.

Last up we have apples.

Apples are an awesome food to help you lose pregnancy weight because they’re loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Fiber is the easiest thing to pay attention to when you want to lose pregnancy weight. When you think about what foods are high in fiber, you’ll come up with a list that’s full of fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans…all healthy, fat burning foods!

Not only that, but they’re very portable which makes it a great on-the-go snack.

You can throw a couple in your purse or diaper bag before you leave the house so you’ll have something to munch on when you get a craving, thus saving you from the drive-thru fat gain.

Add some almonds to the apples and you’ll add even more fiber and some protein, which will help you lose pregnancy weight even more.

Start off with those 3 foods and make them part of your every day diet, then start to add foods from there. While adding healthy, fat burning foods, take away fat gaining foods and you will lose your pregnancy weight in no time and have the toned, sexy body you’ve always wanted!
