No easy answer: Sorry but losing weight is really about diet and exercise, regardless of the cause. You do gain weight when pregnant from the baby, the amniotic fluid, water retention but also from a greater appetite. The basics should be effective but changing habits is always difficult whether getting back into shape or changing your eating patterns. It is about calories. Good luck, you can lose.

There's a saying, "Put a little iron in your diet" - which in this context means to start working out with weights to build muscle. Muscle requires more calories so you have a better shot at losing weight. We naturally lose muscle beginning in our 30s. Work with a trainer or find a class at the Y! Good luck. LGromkoMD

Adrenal reset: Reset adrenals with adhs (vasopressin) by biotics, use ionothermie to locally loose fat.
