I am sharing my experience just after my delivery time, planned to return to my pre-pregnancy weight ie reduce by 9-10 kg after delivery. Most women lose half of their baby weight by 6 weeks after childbirth. The rest most often comes off over the next several months.
A healthy diet with daily exercise will help in weight loss. Breastfeeding can also help with weight loss and it is important to return to a healthy weight after delivery.
The following things helps you to loose weight.
• Don't got for crash diets: As you are feeding baby, hence you and the lil one require all the nutrition at that time. Getting on to crash diet will be problematic.
• Breastfeeding if you can- it reduces the mother's risk of disease.
• Count your calories: Install an app and keep counting your calories, how much you are taking and how much reducing.
• Eat foods high in fiber: High fiber diet keeps you filling also does not add much to your body.
• Take healthy protein: go for healthy protein as it helps in shaping up the body, also you feel less lethargic
• Avoid added sugar: make sure you control on sugar , avoid sweets and chocolate in the evening. If you can minimise the number of tea and coffee in day, that will also help
• Avoid highly processed
food: try to take as much as fresh food
• Avoid alcohol: alcohol is not good for health also it increases the calories count many a fold, as there is tendency to have extra bites along with drink
• Start exercise: I enrolled myself with online Zumba sessions, it really helped me sheding extra weight
• Drink enough water: install an app and keep counting the glasses you take
• Get enough sleep: although it is difficult to manage the sleep cycle with baby, but make sure you take rest when lil one is in deep slumber
