Does breast milk consume maternal fat?
The biggest headache for pregnant women is that after giving birth, their figure looks like blowing, and it is difficult to return to the slim before pregnancy. In fact, experts remind that the best slimming secret after childbirth is breast-feeding, because breast-feeding helps to consume maternal calories, and its effect is no less than dieting and exercise!

According to nutrition experts, pregnant women who breastfeed before giving birth will accumulate about 36,000 calories in their bodies, which is equivalent to a woman of medium height for 20 days. Therefore, if pregnant women do not breastfeed after delivery, they have to rely on foreign aid-exercise to consume calories, which is naturally very difficult. And in the first three months of lactation, the fat stored in the mother's body can consume 100 ~ 150 calories per day through breastfeeding; A lactating woman with normal activities needs to exercise and do housework every day, and then consume 500 to 550 calories to ensure milk secretion and her own needs. Therefore, one month after delivery, breast-fed mothers will consume 18000 to 19500 calories more than non-breast-fed mothers to avoid obesity. Because breastfeeding mothers consume more calories, it is naturally easier to restore their prenatal body; Instead of breast-feeding, mothers can only consume excess body fat through extra exercise, and effective exercise must be at least three times a week for more than 30 minutes each time, and the heartbeat after exercise can reach 130 times or more, so as to lose weight.

In addition, besides breastfeeding and exercise, diet control is also an important key to postpartum recovery. Because many women lose control after giving birth, it is often caused by excessive supplementation during pregnancy and confinement. Therefore, for tonic dishes, because both the food itself and the cooking method are accompanied by a lot of fat and calories, I still try to avoid excessive calorie intake and accumulation of fat.
