Most women after giving birth tend to gain a few kilos and this is something totally natural, because after carrying a baby for 7-9 months many tend to gain weight because they put aside diet and exercise and this is because they begin to eat everything they want and spend more time still, although doctors usually recommend that women should have an active life during pregnancy for the well-being of the baby and themselves.
It should be noted that after giving birth you should not be desperate to go to a gym and lose all those kilos you gained , no! You will have to take time to recover from childbirth or the cesarean section and have the diet / rest that is recommended in the postpartum. Also, remember that it is also important to eat well and healthy because everything you eat will be passed to your baby through the breast . You can start your diets when the baby is between 2 and 4 months old, he will already have more strength and you will be able to change your eating habits little by little.
Many of the women lose weight when they start breastfeeding because the baby is quickly consuming everything you eat, which is why you should eat well and in proportional amounts.
To lose weight after pregnancy you can start by doing the following:
Exercise 3 times a week: Your body will have already lost the habit of exercising every day and at the same pace, so you should start little by little so that you don't feel exhausted or fatigued.
Include vegetables, proteins and carbohydrates in your food: Remember that the amounts must be proportionate. It will also help your baby grow healthy and strong.
Drink plenty of water: It will allow you to be more hydrated and drinking water also helps you lose weight, especially if it is your companion in your meals.
If you are going to drink juices that are green juices: you must first consult with your doctor and the baby's pediatrician to find out if your little one can ingest those juices, remember that everything you drink and eat your baby will also do it through the breast.
Put aside sweets, soft drinks and milkshakes , as they provide many calories.
Eat whole fruits and not juices: This gives you more vitamins and nutrients that contain fiber and, in addition to helping you lose weight, it also allows you to stay a little active.
Put aside junk food and fried foods.
Do not eliminate any of your daily meals : Eating 1 or 2 times a day will make you feel weak and without energy, you will start to get sick and so will your baby. It is even recommended to eat up to 5 times a day in a healthy way.
