How to lose weight after cesarean section

After a caesarean section, a woman's belly often becomes larger and her figure gradually becomes distorted. At this time, she urgently needs a way to lose weight. In fact, whether it is a caesarean section or a natural birth, if women do not pay attention to proper diet control after giving birth, they will be obese to a greater or lesser extent. Especially after giving birth, some women eat a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat during the confinement period. They consume excessive calories and do not consume them in time. It would be strange if they don’t get fat. Let’s take a look at how women should lose weight after giving birth.

New mothers should have caesarean section and lose weight. Women who have had caesarean section are basically out of the postpartum period 56 days after delivery. After routine postpartum health check-ups, if there are no contraindications to exercise, you can do exercises that mainly target lower abdominal fat and muscles, such as sit-ups, swimming, and exercises to train the pelvic floor muscles. If your body shape has not been restored within 3 months after delivery, it may be restored within 6 months. Most mothers can return to their pre-pregnancy weight and body shape after their baby is 1 year old. Professional women will lose weight after starting work; full-time housewives may recover more slowly.

The daily calorie intake should not affect the secretion of milk, but should also maintain continuous weight loss. If you are a new mother with moderate activity, you only need to subtract 250 calories from the estimated calorie count to achieve your goal of losing 0.25 kg per week. The calories released by 100 grams of food can be roughly calculated according to the following standards: grains release 4 calories; beans release about 6 calories; fat and oil release about 9 calories; lean meat releases 6 calories; fruits release 4 calories; the calories released by vegetables are negligible. The daily calorie requirement of non-pregnant women is about 1,800 calories. There is no significant increase in the daily calorie requirement in the early pregnancy. The daily calorie requirement in the middle and late pregnancy increases by 300 to 500 calories compared to the non-pregnant period.

If you want to lose weight successfully, the key is to make the calories you absorb each day less than the calories you burn each day. Among them, diet control is the most important. No matter how strong your appetite is, in order to maintain a reasonable weight, you should reduce your food intake, especially high-calorie foods. For example, during the confinement period, don't eat a lot of meat and fish all the time, you have to know how to eat in moderation.
