What are the best ways to lose weight after childbirth?

Q: I am worried about how to lose the weight I gained during pregnancy. After browsing some weight-loss websites, I still feel confused because the statements about weight loss are contradictory and unworkable. Can you introduce some methods to lose weight after childbirth?

A: Generally speaking, pregnant women will lose about 5 kilograms of weight after childbirth, and will lose more weight in the following weeks. But the fat that accumulates under the skin, especially abdominal fat, is difficult to disappear on its own.

Although it is difficult to lose the weight gained during pregnancy, results can still be achieved as long as scientific and systematic strategies are followed. Specifically: 1 Inject enough water. After giving birth to a child, you must not ignore taking water. Supplementing water is not only beneficial to milk secretion, but also beneficial to the elimination of toxins accumulated in the body. In terms of weight loss, replenishing water is also a good way to reduce calorie intake and control appetite. Therefore, drink at least 10 glasses of water every day. 2 Stay away from junk food. Because the nutrients you consume will be transmitted to your child through breastfeeding. Therefore, staying away from unhealthy foods and choosing healthy, organic foods will be good for your baby's health and help you lose weight. 3 Eat more fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of cellulose, which can significantly increase the feeling of satiety and help lose weight;4 Eat less processed food. Try not to eat or eat less highly processed foods such as white bread and noodles, and replace them with whole grain grains;5 Read food labels carefully. When buying food, don't just look at the name of the food, but also carefully read the food ingredients description. Although some food descriptions are advertised as low-fat foods, they contain too much sugar and are high in calories. Therefore, when shopping for food, be sure to choose foods that are low-fat, low-sugar and low-calorie;6 Step by step. When starting exercise, be sure to gradually increase the intensity and speed of exercise. The best way to start exercise is to take a walk, starting from 10 minutes a day and gradually increasing to 20 minutes;7 Make full use of the natural way to lose weight-breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is not only crucial to the growth and development of infants and young children, but is also a great way to burn calories, especially calories from fat. The average daily calories consumed can reach 500 kilocalories;8 Don't blindly follow the so-called "popular weight loss method". Weight loss methods that promise rapid weight loss will not get you what you want. Because losing the weight gained during pregnancy not only takes time, but also requires effort. After all, the weight gained by the body is gradually accumulated during October pregnancy, so it cannot disappear overnight.
