Brooke Burke Celebrity Baby Diet, Workout, & Weight Loss

Celebrity Exercise, Diet, and Pregnancy Weight Loss Tips from Brooke Burke.  Here on HCLW we have had a couple post baby Brooke Burke posts, and here is yet another one on how Brooke got her body back after baby #4.  Brooke tells in her own words how she handled her pregnancy weight this time around.  She looks amazing, and apparently fit back into her jeans 4 weeks after giving birth to her son Shaya in 2008.  So I think she might have some sound advice.  Want to know Brooke’s Baby Weight Secrets?  I know you do, so keep reading.

Brooke’s Baby Weight Plan

“I squeezed into my jeans today, yeah! I am not sharing that to boast or to make anyone who is struggling with her baby weight feel inadequate.  I simply want to tell you what I have been doing in hopes that it may help some of you.”

“First, I have promised to keep this blog real so I will start with some of my Tauts (a corset type undergarment) thoughts.  Binding your belly after birth can get really annoying, but boy does it work!  I cannot wait at times to take it off and I do that for short periods through out the day when I need a break.  Also, if your skin gets itchy or irritated, take it off for a few hours and let your tummy breathe.  Other than that, I have been wearing it 24/7 and every few days I can make it a little tighter.”

Brooke’s Post baby Diet

“Lots of people have been asking about my diet so here goes. I never “diet”, but I do believe in creating healthy eating habits that you can enjoy and stick to.  I try to eat 5 times a day, small meals, every three hours or so. If I get too busy, some of those meals may be a protein bar or simply an apple and some almonds.  Here is a typical day for me.”

Breakfast
:  oatmeal made with water, with a little brown sugar
, coffee with milk and sweetener.

Snack (choose one) 
Non-fat or yogurt 
Low-fat/ cottage cheese with fresh pineapple/ 
protein bar (Luna or Zone)

Lunch (choose one) 
chicken, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cucumber in a whole-wheat pita with olive oil, vinegar and Dijon dressing, 
sushi – mostly sashimi style 
chicken/lettuce/cheese burrito
 (I also love Matzo ball soup that I make at home with chicken, carrots and celery.)

Snack (choose one)
 apple with a handful of almonds/ 
protein shake made with nonfat milk, ½ banana, tsp. almond butter and a scoop of whey protein. Tuna fish salad with celery or carrots (use low-fat mayo)
sliced turkey with almonds.

Dinner (choose one)
 fillet mignon with Caesar salad and asparagus 
sushi.
  Grilled salmon with veggies
/chicken with a salad and grilled veggies 
(Sometimes at night when I am too tired to eat a full meal, I have a bowl of my favorite cereal, Smart Start, with blue berries and non-fat milk.)

These are just some options.  I never starve, and I know that the only way for me to lose weight fast is actually by eating more often and keeping it smart.  I avoid carbs later in the day.  I never drink juice (too much sugar) and I try to stay away from bread, especially white flour.  I drink lots of water with lemon and hot green or fresh mint tea.  I only drink water, never soda.  I do have a glass of red wine with dinner sometimes, which I really enjoy.  I keep my meals small and try never to skip them.  I know how hard it can be to find the time, but many of these options can be prepared in advance and you can grab them on the go. I really do enjoy what I eat and if I am craving something bad, I have it, but only a few bites!  Small smart meals really work.  Give it a try.”
