Novice mothers are at high risk of postpartum depression. In addition to physical and mental fatigue, they are afraid of raising children for the first time, and they have also experienced great changes in their attitudes for the first time. If they lose weight after delivery, they will also become a stressor. Shen Yongxuan, a physician at the Weight Loss Center of Ruan General Hospital, said that Xiaomei is only 32 years old and her metabolism is normal. However, after giving birth to her first child, her weight rose from 50 kg to 65 kg. In order to take care of the children, she has no time to exercise, so she has to diet to lose weight. After half a year, her weight dropped to 58 kilograms and stopped.
Dieting to lose weight encounters bottlenecks and aggravates postpartum depression.
Facing the postpartum figure that can't come back, and the physical and mental fatigue of taking care of the children, she is a little depressed after childbirth, and her depression is more serious. Xiaomei's husband felt that his wife was emotionally unstable and decided to seek professional weight control assistance.
Dr. Shen Yongxuan pointed out that Xiaomei's overweight part was mainly fat. The nutritionist designed a diet of 1200 calories to lose weight, and suggested that the treadmill should be prepared at home to increase the amount of exercise, based on the principle of consuming 500 calories a day. According to her own physique, she suggested appropriate weight-loss maintenance products and acupuncture courses. She successfully lost 8 kilograms and returned to her original figure within 3 months, and Xiaomei's postpartum depression was also improved.
Postpartum mothers often have symptoms such as depression, depression and anxiety. Dr. Shen Yongxuan said that novice mothers, in particular, are often full of self-confidence, worried that they can't take care of their children well, and worried that their bodies won't come back, which will aggravate their symptoms.
To lose weight, we must implement "eat less and exercise more"
Dr. Shen Yongxuan pointed out that the treatment of obesity should first exclude diseases, drugs and other factors, and then adjust the lifestyle to achieve the purpose of losing weight, that is, implement the principle of "eating less and exercising more".
It takes about 7700 calories to lose weight 1 kg, which is estimated as follows: eat less calories 100 per day, and lose 5 kg/year; If you eat less 1000 calories a day, you will lose weight 1 kg in a week. However, the more you lose weight, the better. The healthy weight loss rate is 0.5- 1 kg a week.
In addition to eating less, exercise is also very helpful to lose weight: jogging can consume 12 calories per kilogram of body weight per hour, and swimming can consume 6- 12 calories per kilogram of body weight per hour. Dr. Shen Xuan suggested that choosing aerobic exercise that interests you (jogging, swimming, rhythmic dance) and doing it five times a week for 30 minutes each time can improve the metabolic rate and help you lose weight.
