3 Ways To Combat Post Pregnancy Cravings

2015-07-24 14.10.47Let’s be real, post pregnancy cravings are a struggle. I feel like I have more cravings not pregnant than pregnant and breastfeeding is no joke. I feel like I am constantly hungry, however, I want to say bye-bye to my baby weight, so I am trying to watch my calorie intake as much as possible. But lets face it, I love candy. Insert M&M’S® Crispy here.

They are amazing.

They only have 180 calories.

They are the perfect sweet snack option.

The end.

 

I’m kidding, not the end, but you get the point, I’m in love. M&M’S® Crispy are back by popular demand and returned to shelves nationwide this past January for the first time since 2005.  They are made of rich milk chocolate, have a sweet rice puff center that’s crispy and crunchy and coated in the world-famous candy shell. I have been paring them with my favorite soda or water for an afternoon snack. It is so nice to take a break from work, sit outside, have a cold drink and snack on M&M’S® Crispy on a Summer day. It really helps me feel refreshed and then I can go back into work inspired and my belly won’t disturb my co-workers by making noises.

 

image1Besides eating snacks with fewer calories, here are 3 things I am doing to combat post pregnancy cravings:

 

1. Eating a good breakfast. 

Eating a good breakfast helps me start my day off right. If I eat a good healthy breakfast, I am normally not hungry until lunch time. However, on the days where I skip breakfast or eat a bar of some kind, I get hungry for a snack around 10am and end up eating junk food or just more food than if I would have had a good breakfast.

 

2. Working out

Get in a workout routine to combat those cravings. I tend to do at-home workouts after Brooke goes to bed. I am more of a “night” work out person, so that time works best for me. Plus, I always feel better knowing I put in effort for the day.

 

3. Drinking plenty of water

Water is good for you and guess what? It has zero calories. Skip the extra coffee (I know that might be crazy as a new mom), but it is loaded with calories. On top of that, water helps you feel better as well and not as bloated as other drinks.

 

Hopefully the tips I use help with your post-pregnancy cravings and remember to snack smart!

  • We snuck in a little getaway the past few days at @thesanluisresort in Galveston, Texas. 

We were blown away with how this gem is so close to home and we didn’t even realize. 

From the moment you walk in the door, you just feel like it’s an elevated coastal escape. 

It’s very luxurious for adults, yet fun for kids. The views from our room were incredible and we could spend all day at their pool (it’s has the most serene vibe).

They also have daily kid-friendly activities and with their Island Explorer package - you get passes to Pleasure Pier.

All of us had such a good time and can’t wait to go back!

We go on a lot of adventures during summer, but being by the water is definitely our happy place and Ozarka® is our #1 must have. 

Ozarka® is made in Texas, and you can just taste the Texas spring water difference. 

COMMENT “shop” to add Ozarka® to your Walmart cart!
