7 tips for postpartum weight loss: a slim figure is no longer a dream

[Key points]: Childbirth makes women's bodies full of fat like a balloon, and losing weight after childbirth becomes an important task for women to maintain their figure. Mothers all have their own tricks, but women’s physical condition after giving birth is not as good as before, so they must be careful when losing weight so as not to hurt their bodies.

Tip 1: It is not advisable to lose weight during the confinement period

After giving birth, a woman's body is in its weakest state and needs to fully recover. At the same time, she has to breastfeed frequently and raise children during the confinement period, which requires a lot of energy. Therefore, no matter what, she should not try to lose weight and restore her body in any way during the confinement period, as it will seriously harm her body. However, you should also pay attention to not eating too many high-fat, high-sugar, and high-calorie supplements during the confinement period, as this will increase the burden of losing weight in the future.

Tip 2: Don’t diet to lose weight

After giving birth, some mothers will think about losing weight quickly through dieting. However, the mother's body has not yet recovered to its pre-pregnancy state, and dieting will harm the mother's already weak body.

Tip 3: Don’t exercise too early

During the 2 months after delivery, the body is relatively weak and it is not suitable for exercise. After 2 months of delivery and the body has recovered, mothers can start with low-intensity exercises and gradually increase their exercise. In the 6 months after delivery, you can increase the intensity of exercise.

Tip 4: Don’t eat too much

After giving birth, mothers have exhausted their "vital energy", and their families will use various delicacies to nourish them. However, eating too many supplements will make mothers fatter. Therefore, when taking supplements after childbirth, you should pay attention to the calories in the food.

Tip 5: Don’t take obesity lightly

Many people think that gaining weight after childbirth is natural and do not take obesity seriously. However, if you indulge yourself like this, you will have no motivation to lose weight, and a good figure will be further away from you.

Tip 6: Don’t wear a belly band too tight

Abdominal obesity is the primary problem of postpartum weight gain. Mothers can use a belly band in the early postpartum period because their belly is relatively loose, but they should remember that the belly band should not be too tight.

Tip 7: Get enough sleep

Sleep is the easiest way to beautify and lose weight, but newborns often disturb the mother's schedule. In order to maintain adequate sleep, it is recommended to share the care of the newborn and not take on everything by yourself.
