Samantha Harris has one of the most desirable bodies in TV. Everyone wants to know what makes her look so amazing all the time and how she managed to lose weight naturally  and maintain her slimming figure , making her in demand when it comes to celebrity weight loss  and weight loss secrets.

While she was pregnant, Samantha Harris still did her exercise routine but this time with lower intensity and a heart monitor and of course with the supervision of a doctor. She believes that this is one of the reasons why she was able to lose fat easily after the pregnancy .

Samantha Harris works out an hour a day, four to six days a week and although there are times that her busy schedule would not allow her to maintain it, she would do her best to make sure that she gets to work out weight exercises even for a short time in order to help burn lose body fat.

She also made sure that she did not overindulge in food while she was pregnant to avoid weight gain. “The only thing I really changed was eating within the first hour of waking up because I was always a late-morning breakfast person and I usually would go a few hours before I would actually have a meal. I think that was the biggest change,” Samantha shared when asked about her attitude towards her dieting during her pregnancy.

Diet

Samantha Harris laughs as she admits that she has a sweet tooth  . “I am a huge dessert fanatic, and I will eat something sweet every single day. So to me that means that I have to balance that somehow.”

She shares that for her weight loss diet  she makes healthier choices now like eating egg white omelets, lean chicken breasts, and salad with low calorie  dressing and brown rice in her meals. She also gave up eating cheese and red meat in order to maintain her figure knowing that the quickest way to lose weight  is to avoid the foods that can make you gain weight for a healthy diet  .

Samantha Harris  shared that she likes to cook but she does not have the luxury of time to do so but she has learned a lot of quick recipes that she can use on her weight loss diet when she is on the go so she does not gave to starve herself. A favorite is the Szechuan turkey burger. “It’s really healthy; chock full of vegetables, no heavy, creamy sauces. It’s really great” Samantha Harris described.

Exercise

A lot of women are jealous of Samantha Harris ‘ arms and she laughs at the thought of it. “I think since I’ve had my daughter it’s been from carrying her around. Even though she’s now two she still wants Mommy to carry her constantly when I’m home, and I don’t turn her down because I want to be with her after having been at work all day.”

Samantha Harris  shared that she is fond of doing weight exercise with free weights and actually takes fitness and weight loss classes when she has the time. She usually does repetition routines with three or five pound weights. Samantha Harris also does flat pull downs and flies as part of her weight loses programs.

She is also fond of doing power walks in the park or up and down the stairs while carrying Josselyn and she does this a lot with her husband. This activity – walking to lose weight – that she shares with her love one has been very encouraging and motivating for her and is her biggest weight loss support.
