During pregnancy, many women gain weight. This is due to hormonal changes that are necessary for the full development of the baby in the womb. Immediately after the birth of the baby, the mother wants to return to her previous forms as soon as possible. But is it possible to combine weight loss with breastfeeding?
Instructions
Step 1
Your diet should be rational first of all. Don't overeat and try to eat a variety of foods. Eliminate rich, fatty, fried and sweet from your diet.
Step 2
You cannot run yourself after childbirth, otherwise it will be more and more difficult to restore the previous forms every month. Even good results on the arrows of the scales after a long diet are not an indicator, because immediately upon returning to your usual diet, weight can begin to increase rapidly.
Step 3
Do not go on a diet immediately after leaving the hospital. Give your body good nutrition as it has gone through tremendous stress. Be sure to eat foods rich in iron, calcium, and protein. Give preference to fish, boiled meat, poultry, dairy products, nuts, apples. Postpartum hemorrhage takes a lot of iron from the body, and its lack does not allow you to lose weight.
Step 4
Breastfeeding itself is a great way to shed those extra pounds that you gained in 9 months. Breastfeed your baby as requested, so you can burn at least 500 calories per day. Thus, your child will be fed, happy, satisfied with frequent closeness with his mother, and you, in addition to positive emotions, will also correct your figure.
Step 5
Eat healthy and wholesome food, because the baby now more than ever needs vitamins, which are transferred to him with his mother's milk. Don't eat too fatty dairy products. Stimulate lactation with the most effective method - hot drinks. To burn fat efficiently, drink plain water more often. It also reduces appetite well.
Step 6
Do not eat "for future use." Learn to eat often (4-5 meals a day), but a little at a time.
Step 7
Don't try to treat postpartum depression with sweets. If the desire to feast still does not leave you, switch to apples or pears.
