It’s the end of April, which means summer is quickly approaching (despite what the weather may be trying to get us to believe!) And the impending summer brings with it visions of building sand castles with the little ones, wading in the cool water, barbecues and picnics with loved ones, and…those shorts. Or maybe that swim suit or tank top that fits just a little too snug for comfort (literally).

We know it comes with the territory- having babies and being responsible for a human life is a huge job that seems to leave little time for thinking about yourself, much less taking time to spend 5+ hours a week in the gym and the kitchen. And it’s honestly probably not something you think about (or should be thinking about) right after child birth. You have babies to nurse, toddlers to feed, a house to clean, maybe a career to further, and relationships to maintain- and it’s too easy to get lost in the mumbo-jumbo of weight loss.

In today’s world, there is a LOT of contradicting information and a lot of fad diets telling you how to lose weight, and it can be overwhelming. But here at INDULGE in Nutrition, our goal is to help you separate fact from fad and give you science-based information that you can actually apply in your life. Fitting into your pre-baby skinny jeans or weighing 120 lbs. isn’t the goal here-  the goal is to be healthy, happy, and full of energy to play with those kiddos! Here are 5 of our BEST factual weight loss tips to help you do that, just in time for summer fun! (And fitting back into those cute shorts is just an added bonus 🙂 )
