If you like meat, then I know you are going to really like this. The protein that is in the lean cuts of steak will help keep your muscle mass during weight loss. With this, you will be shedding more of that frustrating pudge. Try grilling or broiling a top round or sirloin. Slice it thinly and top it with a salad. This is definitely one of the best foods for losing weight after having a baby. Yummy.

Pomegranates
What do you think about pomegranates? They taste good! The nutritional content is definitely something that you will like. I recommend you snacking on the seeds. You could even toss them in a salad in place of the nuts.
Chilies
Some like it hot and that is for a good cause! Eating spicy food is known to spike up your metabolism. This is because a compound found in chilies called capsaicin helps the body burn extra calories. I also look at it like this: It’s painful to scarf down chilies, so you will eat that dish slower.

Eating quinoa (pronounces: KEEN-wah) will ward off those cravings. I recommend you taking the rice out of stir-fries and replacing it with quinoa.
Parmesan
Say cheese and lose weight! You should grate some Parmesan over your veggies such as asparagus or broccoli. Women who consume whole milk or cheese each day have less problems with losing weight.
