How to lose weight 3 months after giving birth

People often say that maternal love is particularly great. For the sake of the baby's health during pregnancy, many women rarely consider their own figure. They eat whatever is nutritious, which can easily lead to overnutrition and cause obesity. Therefore, after giving birth, they will face weight loss. Generally, the six months after giving birth is the golden period for weight loss. So how do you lose weight in the three months after giving birth?

How to lose weight 3 months after giving birth

1. Exercise to lose weight

The mother lies on her back on the bed or yoga mat, bends her legs and places her entire foot on the ground. Let the baby sit on the mother's body, and the mother holds the baby's hands to prevent the baby's body from shaking. The mother then pulls in her buttocks and lifts her hips so that her thighs and back form a straight line. She maintains this position for a while, then slowly exhales, keeps the hips contracted, and then lowers her hips. After your buttocks touch the ground, relax your pelvic floor muscles and inhale slowly. Repeat the above steps. This movement allows the baby to experience the joy of changing position while moving up and down, while mothers can also lose fat on their buttocks.

2. Diet to lose weight

1. Make sure to eat a certain amount of poultry or fish every day. You can also use 2-3 eggs instead. You also need to eat a certain amount of vegetables and fruits. It is important to note that you must use less oil.

2. Drink more skim milk

Depending on your personal appetite, you can choose to drink skim milk 2-4 times in the morning. At the same time, you need to pay attention to eating less fruit, and eat no more than one fruit a day during this period.

3. You can appropriately increase the body's intake of protein and vegetables. You can eat a cup of cereal and two loaves of whole wheat bread for breakfast, increase your intake of protein-rich foods for lunch, and eat some protein-rich foods for dinner, such as an egg or a ham, with a tomato or a bottle of yogurt or an apple.

The confinement period is a period of physiological recovery

The first month after delivery is the new mother's physical recovery period, so don't consider losing weight at this stage. If you take good care of yourself during the confinement period, your body functions will recover quickly, your endocrine system will return to normal, your metabolism will be smooth, and you will be able to lose weight faster in the later stages. However, you can do some abdominal massage at this stage to help the uterus return to its original position as soon as possible. New mothers can use their hands to do moderate circular massage on their abdomen, and use firming cream while massaging to increase the elasticity and firmness of the relaxed abdominal muscles.

Postpartum weight loss method

After the confinement period, it is the golden period for mothers to lose weight! Put more effort into diet and exercise.

1. Eat small and frequent meals, and eat a high-fiber diet: During this stage, gradually introduce the concept of eating more fruits and vegetables and more high-fiber in your diet through small and frequent meals. This helps normal gastrointestinal metabolism, effectively improves the constipation problem of many postpartum mothers, reduces fat accumulation, and tightens waist and hip circumference.

2. Postpartum body-shaping exercises: One month after delivery, all body conditions have almost recovered. At this time, you can do some exercises to tighten your abdominal muscles and psoas muscles. You can also burn excess calories and reduce abdominal and buttocks fat. Abdominal breathing is a good way to do this.

3. Abdominal breathing: Lie flat on the bed, bend your knees, place your hands on your abdomen, inhale forcefully to allow your abdomen to expand and protrude, then exhale slowly to allow your abdomen to concave, and repeat 10 to 15 times.
