How to lose weight after childbirth

First, take control of all meals: both “full” and snacks. Secondly, control the fact of fluid intake, and what kind of fluid it is.

We are talking primarily about pure natural non-carbonated water. The daily rate of water consumption for a woman is 30 ml per 1 kg of available weight. However, a nursing mother should drink at least 1 liter more. You can also drink tea with milk, various herbal infusions that do not cause allergies in a child. Fluid is very important for weight loss, recovery and normal functioning of the body.

Third, don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Fourth, plan for an exemplary flexible diet and sleep pattern, making up for the nightly lack of rest with additional daytime hours – sleep when the baby sleeps. Fifth, move more with the stroller by developing different walking routes. A woman who wants to lose weight after childbirth should definitely include animal protein in her diet. And if there is a tendency to iron deficiency anemia, then at least 2-3 times a week, red meat should be on the menu.
Non-starchy vegetables and a sufficient amount of greens (in total – at least 500 g per day) provide good intestinal motility, have a negative calorie content and contribute to weight loss. Also, leafy and low starch vegetables contain enough calcium, vitamins and trace elements that are important for quick recovery after childbirth.
Fresh dairy products – luxurious probiotics! They ensure the formation of a good immune response, which is important for the recovery period when the body is vulnerable.

Cereals and dark wholemeal bread are recommended to be consumed in the morning. They contain many B vitamins that stimulate carbohydrate and protein metabolism, normalize the state of the nervous system.
Unsweetened fruits or berries (1-2 servings per day) are an excellent source of vitamins, antioxidants, and pectins, which also help to maintain stable bowel function. Do not forget about 1 tablespoon of vegetable olive oil added to salads, as well as a small handful of nuts and dried fruits as snacks.
Nutrition after childbirth should not be monotonous. Let food bring not only satiety, but also pleasure.
