Reader's Question

Hey, I have a daughter who is nearly 6 months and I'm trying to lose the baby fat but I can't. I hardly eat because I'm never hungry, I exercise a lot and drink plenty of water.

Vix's Response

Well believe it or not but you may not be eating enough to lose weight!!

By hardly eating you are lowering your metabolism and putting your body into fat storage mode. Clearly it is not the exercise that is preventing you from getting your pre baby body back, it is your lack of eating. Start eating small regular meals (about 5 or 6) mini meals, this will stoke your fat burning fire and increase your metabolism and energy. You will train better and gain more out of your exercise also…it’s a win win situation!!
