Tips to Lose Weight After Pregnancy
Important Note
Consult your family physician or healthcare personnel before following any tips or advice.
General Information
Obesity is a common complication after pregnancy. Many times, despite having a good figure, the shape starts getting worse after delivery. If you want, you can easily get rid of this problem. And for this no strict diet, or medicine is required!
Let's know some such tips by which you can reduce the weight even after the birth of the child.
1. Take Your Time
At the time of childbirth, the mother's weight often increases. So don't worry too much and give yourself some time after the birth of the child. Make any idea towards reducing weight only after at least 2 or 3 months.
2. Consult To Doctor First
If you decide to lose weight, tell your doctor about it. This is very important because it is possible that if the child is weak, the doctor may ask you to keep your diet consistent instead of losing weight.
3. Don't Diet At All
Start losing weight slowly and do not diet at all during this time. Instead, you should eat such food which also provides nutrients and does not increase fat. Eat more fish, meat, beans, green vegetables etc.
4. Be Sure To Breastfeed
Many doctors believe that breastfeeding leads to weight loss. The body has to spend about 300-500 calories in breastfeeding. In this way, your extra fat is reduced quickly and safely.
5. Drink Lots Of Water
There is no need to mention the properties of water. It will not only keep you hydrated, but with its help, the dirt in the stomach is also removed. Drinking lemon and honey mixed with warm water in the morning and evening ends excess fat.
6. Take Healthy Snacks And Fat
Be careful in eating things with snacks, especially biscuits or tea. Use brown bread instead of white bread, eat wheat biscuits, nuts, raisins, popcorn etc. Slowly take skimmed milk instead of full cream milk.
7. Eat Slowly And Five To Six Times (Take Small Portions)
Breastfeeding women need extra energy, so don't reduce your food intake. Just eat things that have more nutrients and eat little by little instead of eating more at once.
8. Thyroid Test
Hypothyroid is also an important reason for weight gain after pregnancy in some women. Therefore, if there is a problem of continuous weight gain, then thyroid test must be done.
9. Do Yoga And Easy Exercises
Do not do heavy exercise after childbirth. To lose weight, doing easy yoga and light exercises is beneficial. Light crunches, hip raises, jogging, etc. are beneficial. If you do not feel like exercising, then go for a short walk with your child.
