How to lose weight during lactation?
Giving birth to a child is a happy thing.

But there are often two things that Ma Bao can't accept:

1. Why is the baby so ugly?

2. Why am I so fat in the mirror?

Of course, children will become more and more lovely and more and more tossing.

But Ma Bao may not lose weight.

In fact, it is not difficult to lose weight during lactation;

Moreover, the war of losing weight began from the confinement period.

About 6 weeks after delivery, it is the time when the maternal body fully recovers. During this period, with the rapid changes of hormones, the weight will naturally fall back.

Why do some people not fall, but rise?

Because I ate it wrong.

Someone made a special statistic on the diet of pregnant women in China during the second month, and found that they did not consume enough cereals and dairy products.

Why?

Because pregnant women in China are drinking pig's foot soup.

Pig feet are rich in collagen, which is a supplement to maternal nutrition; This is ancient wisdom.

But it is far less real than whey protein in milk; This is modern research.

Therefore, the lactation effect of drinking milk is actually better than pig's foot soup.

In addition, whole grains are rich in cellulose, which is good for the gastrointestinal tract of pregnant women.

Therefore, a relatively low-fat, high-fiber and high-quality protein diet is a double guarantee for health and weight loss during the second month.

1. Low fat: drink less all kinds of broth and eat less greasy fried food;

2. High fiber food: bamboo shoots/kelp/miscellaneous grains/fungus/radish/eggplant, etc.

3. High-quality protein: milk/eggs/beans, etc.

As for exercise, I think from the third week, my mother can do some simple exercises to relieve the fatigue caused by childbirth.

In fact, although foreign women do not have confinement, they will go to postpartum rehabilitation centers and do some appropriate exercise, which is more conducive to postpartum recovery.

For example,

1. Head and neck movement, make chin close to chest when lying flat;

2. Leg lifting exercise: alternately straighten and lift legs when lying flat;

3. Abdominal breathing training;

4. Slow leg air circulation and so on.

On the right of the picture is an example of head and neck movement; Please lie flat when operating.

After confinement, apart from breastfeeding, there is not much difference between Ma Bao and normal women.

In terms of diet, protein and vitamins are the most important factors affecting breast milk; In other words, as long as the intake of protein and vitamins is sufficient and the total calories are properly controlled, the milk quantity will not be significantly affected.

On the contrary, a reasonable and balanced diet is more conducive to improving the quality of milk than blindly "tonic".

Therefore, I personally suggest that the negative calorie balance of lactating mothers can be around 300 kilocalories on the basis of ensuring the intake of protein (the high-quality protein mentioned above) and vitamins (fruits and vegetables).

(That is to say, the calories you eat are 300 kilocalories less than the calories you consume. It can be estimated by various heat calculation software. )

As for some mothers who are in poor health, find reliable Chinese medicine practitioners, properly use dietotherapy and even Chinese herbal medicines, regulate qi and blood, improve their health, and don't worry too much about affecting Mengbao. For example, people with spleen deficiency can drink yam millet porridge; People with qi deficiency can drink Huangqi Radix Pseudostellariae water and so on.

After all, anemia can also affect the quality of milk.

Mother and child are integrated; Ma Bao's body is healthier, and the children's body will be stronger.

Mother-child fusion

In terms of exercise, mothers who have given birth to children can gradually improve their exercise intensity.

Yoga/flat support/supine back lifting/upper limb training (stop training technique)/air riding/variable speed walking/jogging, etc. , can be carried out.

The first few exercises can be done indoors without affecting Ma Bao's care for the baby.

Of course, I still suggest that you take it step by step and don't be too hasty.

Oh, I forgot to mention the most important point. Breastfeeding is also very helpful to lose weight.

Because breast milk contains a lot of fat, these fats are essential nutrients for babies.

For Ma Bao, these fats are the process that babies help you "liposuction".

If a treasure mother is still worried about the reduction of breast milk caused by diet control, I suggest you consider other factors that affect breast milk.

1. Mental and psychological factors

2. Lack of sleep

3. Diseases such as colds and fever

4. Breast diseases, such as chapped nipple/mastitis.

The connection between mother and child is natural.

In the 4th or 6th month of breast-feeding, because the baby has started to add complementary food and use milk powder, or Ma Bao has stopped breast-feeding, but his weight is still at a high level, at this time, the efforts of diet control can be strengthened.

For example, there is a case where a lactating mother fasted one day a week under my guidance. If you are interested, you can reply to "Fast Food" on WeChat official account "Dr. Qiu Shuo" for reference.
