Within 42 days after delivery, new mothers should not blindly and eagerly lose weight. Just after giving birth, the body has not fully recovered to the pre-pregnancy level, and some new mothers are still shouldering heavy feeding tasks. At this time, it is time to supplement nutrition. If you go on a forced diet after childbirth, it will not only lead to the slow recovery of new mothers, but also lead to various postpartum complications.
Reasonable choice of postpartum slimming time
Generally speaking, if you are breast-feeding, it is usually recommended to try active slimming exercise 6-8 weeks after delivery, because postpartum body needs time to recover and maintain a good milk supply. And there are many ways to lose weight. You don't have to start losing weight after weaning. In fact, if you breastfeed, you will lose weight faster and the effect will be better. As long as you choose the right way to lose weight, don't blindly diet to lose weight.
What methods are there for postpartum weight loss?
Breast-feed the baby. Breastfeeding can reduce fat because milk contains extremely high calories. If a new mother needs 2300 kilocalories to make milk, but the food she eats is not enough to support it, then the heat will be obtained from body fat, which will be converted into fat in milk. Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, College of Food Science, China Agricultural University, said.
Avoid overeating. Maternal women need to appropriately increase high-protein foods after delivery, but the intake of vitamins, fats and sugars is not much different from that of ordinary people. Generally speaking, puerperal women can meet their own nutrition and the nutrition needed for normal lactation by eating 400-500g of staple food, 50- 100g of eggs, 0/00g of meat, 0/50g of bean products, 250g of milk and 400g of vegetables every day.
Proper exercise. You can choose to do some postpartum health care exercises, such as anal contraction exercise, which can be done on the second day after delivery, 3 ~4 times a day, 3~5 minutes each time. After that, you can add simple actions such as abdominal breathing and straight leg lifting. Half a month after delivery, you can do sit-ups and other actions to enhance the tension of rectus abdominis. Caesarean section will avoid doing this action to avoid wound accumulation.
