How to lose weight one month after delivery
After delivery, besides the baby's health, the mother is most concerned about her own recovery. Postpartum obesity is a very distressing thing for many women. In fact, postpartum obesity is basically something that every woman has to face, and there is no need to be too depressed. To control postpartum obesity, besides exercising and using some diet pills, there are several basic principles that must be mastered.
1, weight control during delivery. Maintain a standard weight during delivery and lose weight easily after delivery. Basically, the average weight gain of women who give birth for the first time is only 12~ 15 kg during the whole growth period. For women who have a second child or more, an average increase of 10 ~ 12kg is enough.
2. Postpartum dietary intake is mainly low-fat and high-protein food. Postpartum weight recovery needs to eat as many low-fat and high-protein foods as possible, such as skinless chicken, beef, lean meat, fish, abalone and sea cucumber. In addition, it should also be combined with moon dishes and medicated diets.
One month after delivery, as long as you eat and stay healthy, plus some exercise, it will be very helpful to lose weight. Breastfeeding will make you lose weight faster, but it is not recommended to lose weight intentionally during breastfeeding, which is not good for your baby.
Precautions for postpartum weight loss
1. When does it start?
If you are breastfeeding, it is usually recommended to try to lose weight actively 6-8 weeks after the child is born, because the body needs time to recover and maintain a good milk supply after the child is born.
Pay attention to progress
According to the recommendation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (acog), it is safe to lose 1 pound (1 pound =453.59237 grams) every week during lactation, and it will not have a negative impact on the baby's growth. If you don't breastfeed, it is recommended that new mothers lose 1-2 kg a week.
Choose food
When breastfeeding, choose a variety of healthy foods wisely to ensure that there are enough vitamins and minerals in breastfeeding. The American Medical Association (ama) recommends adding multivitamins to the weight loss plan. In order to have enough milk supply, all lactating women need to consume an extra 500 calories every day. During lactation, the daily protein requirement also increased from 46g to 7 1g (equivalent to three foods rich in protein), thus maintaining the lean body weight necessary for good milk supply.
