What are some tips for losing weight during breastfeeding?

Women generally have a problem after giving birth, that is, their figure becomes out of shape. What a sad thing! Is there no good way to stop this from happening? Well, today I will introduce to you how women can lose weight effectively during breastfeeding, and teach you some tips for losing weight during breastfeeding. If you can’t use them yourself, you can share them with your friends. I hope the following explanation can help you.

1. Time to lose weight. It is very important to seek the approval of your doctor before starting a weight loss program. It is usually recommended that breastfeeding mothers start losing weight 6 to 8 weeks after giving birth, because the body needs some time to recover and ensure adequate milk supply.

2. The speed of weight loss. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, it is appropriate to lose 0.5 kg per week during breastfeeding, which will not have an adverse effect on the baby's development.

3. Methods of losing weight. I heard that this is very effective, I heard that that is very quick, but when facing weight problems, there are almost no successful cases of blindly choosing weight loss methods, and using drugs to lose weight is even more not recommended. Change your eating habits, find a form of exercise that suits you and that you can stick to for a long time. As the calorie intake and calorie expenditure change, your weight will naturally decrease.

4. Daily diet. New mothers need to increase their energy intake appropriately. When you are fully breastfeeding, you only need an extra 500Kcal per day to provide nutrition for breastfeeding, which is equivalent to 3 cans of 250ml milk. Once your baby starts eating solid foods, or you combine breastfeeding with formula feeding, you only need an extra 250Kcal per day. When you are not breastfeeding, you do not need to add extra calories. Supplementing protein-rich animal foods after childbirth is extremely important for the new mother's physical recovery and to ensure adequate secretion of breast milk. However, adequate supplementation does not mean excessive supplementation. Excessive intake of animal food causes most breastfeeding mothers to consume excessive protein and fat, and the risk of weight gain is greatly increased. It is recommended that new mothers consume 225g-375g of protein foods every day, and try to choose meat products with low fat content such as fish, lean meat or skinless poultry.

5. Appropriate activities. Breastfeeding mothers should try to start with simple and low-intensity exercises, such as slow walking, pushing the baby for a walk, etc. The most important thing is to learn to establish regular exercise habits.

In fact, it is not an easy thing for women to lose weight during breastfeeding, mainly because of special physical reasons. They cannot exercise well, their bodies are relatively fragile, and their physiology is different from that of ordinary people. In addition, they have children to feed, so relatively speaking, the details of weight loss are very important. Today I will introduce to you the tips for weight loss during breastfeeding. You should remember that this is a relatively correct and healthy way to lose weight.
