Postpartum weight change
According to Yuan Qi, Taiwan Province Province, during pregnancy, the standard weight gain is about 12 ~ 13 kg, of which 5 ~ 6 kg is the fetal weight, plus the weight of amniotic fluid and placenta, so after delivery, the weight can be reduced by 5 ~ 6 kg immediately, and in the next month, the body will excrete stagnant water (about 2 ~ 3 kg). The remaining 3 ~ 4 kg body weight is mostly the fat weight increased during pregnancy.
Simply put, the weight gained one month after delivery (compared with that before delivery) is our net weight gain. Most of these weights exist in various parts of the body in the form of fat. The purpose of losing weight is to lose these excess fats.
Why is it not easy to lose weight after childbirth?
Weight gain or loss depends on calorie intake and consumption. When you consume more calories than you consume, the excess calories will be converted into fat and stored, which will lead to obesity. On the other hand, it will consume fat, reduce weight and achieve the purpose of losing weight.
Therefore, to lose weight, we can start from two aspects. First, reduce calorie intake; Second, increase the consumption of heat; Or both. Generally speaking, the life and rest of pregnant women are just the opposite of the above two situations. According to the traditional confinement culture in Taiwan Province Province, what should the parturient do? Make up? 4 ~ 6 weeks, and try to stay in bed. If you don't pay attention to the calories of food, it's easy to eat a lot of high-calorie food. However, long-term bed rest slows down the basic metabolism of the body and reduces the demand for calories; Under the action of dual factors, weight is certainly not easy to control.
In addition, changes in the endocrine system (hormonal decline, hypothyroidism) will also lead to slower metabolism of the body; There are also some people who suffer from postpartum depression, because of long-term bed rest or overeating, resulting in weight rising instead of falling. Based on the above factors, it is not difficult for us to understand why some people are out of shape after giving birth to children.
Pregnancy and childbirth are a long and arduous process, but even so, it has never stopped any woman from being a mother. But one thing often becomes a nightmare for postpartum women, that is, the graceful figure in the past will never be seen again. In fact, as long as you have the right concept, patience and perseverance, it is not impossible to restore your original figure.

Basic principles of postpartum weight loss
There is basically no need to lose weight immediately in the first month after delivery. In the meantime, try to eat nutritious food (but pay attention to the calories of food), take more rest (you can maintain daily activities, but avoid lifting heavy objects or strenuous fitness exercise) and keep a happy mood. As for the weight, as long as it is kept 2 ~ 3 kg less than that just after delivery (excess water in the body during pregnancy). Don't be too eager to get back to your original figure, so as not to damage your body, but it will not pay off.
The weight loss plan should start at 4 ~ 6 weeks after delivery (depending on physical recovery). Be careful not to set your goals too high at the beginning, lest you lose the will to stick to them if you don't reach them. Therefore, it is very important to make a reasonable and feasible plan to lose weight successfully. In addition, Bian Xiao suggested that new mothers drink more healthy slimming tea such as Camellia in Longhe when losing weight, and the more obvious the slimming effect is.
