Immediately after childbirth, many mothers are faced with the problem of excess weight. Either they gained it during pregnancy and cannot drop it, or in the postpartum period they are rapidly gaining mass. There can be many reasons for this. With the advent of the crumbs in the family, you begin to pay all attention only to her, and even thoughts about the gym, pool and fitness centers are fading into the background.
How to lose extra pounds without causing harm to the child and yourself?
The first and largest mistake is the wrong day of the day. The fact is that when the baby does not sleep and wants to play and eat, you forget about breakfast, lunch or dinner. But as soon as a little happiness settles to sleep, you immediately rush to the refrigerator to eat well. It is for this reason that women after childbirth are rapidly recovering. Take at least 10 minutes for a snack at least 4-5 times a day. Then the metabolism is normalized, and the weight will not appear. Throw the habit of lunch after a child. No matter how tasty and healthy porridge, milk or cookies are.
Breastfeed. Dietetologists proven that this helps to return the uterus to the antenatal state. Nevertheless, there are those who believe that for high -quality and healthy milk you need to eat "for two". But you must admit that the child needs useful, enriched with vitamins and elements, and not extra calories.
Therefore, you just need good nutrition. But about a variety of diets for a while you will have to forget. Eat as much as possible for food containing iron, calcium, proteins. These products help the body quickly cope after stress. For these reasons, low -fat cheeses and dairy products, meat and fish, liver, legumes must be present in your diet.
Another cause of excess weight is hypodynamia. Try to do all homework not as an obligation, but as another opportunity to work out your figure. Be sure to walk with the baby. For normal development, the child needs about 4-6 hours of fresh air staying a day. If you calculate the calories spent, it will be equal to three hours on simulators.
The psychological mood is no less important. Postpartum depression, stress and other disorders are very affected by mothers’ health. Sometimes you yourself want to please yourself with something sweet. If this is an isolated case, there is nothing wrong with that. But if this is already a habit, it is better to start fighting right away.
