How can it be difficult to lose weight after childbirth and become a hot mom?

Many precious mothers ask: Why can't I lose my stomach after giving birth? People still think I'm not born! How to lose my stomach? I feel hopeless in my life...

If you reply darkly: You have eaten too much and moved too little since you were pregnant, is it unkind?

Today, let's talk specifically about how to reduce this big belly?

Don't read the entertainment news. Female stars lose weight after childbirth like a trick. They become as graceful as before when their eyes are closed and open. Behind this is all the invisible hard work.

All mothers cannot escape such troubles and embarrassment.

Why is it that just after giving birth, your belly is bulging and it looks like you are pregnant?

1. The natural process of uterine retraction

One reason is that the uterus has not yet retracted. Think of your stomach as a slowly expanding balloon. Giving birth to a child is not a sudden puncture of the balloon, but just a slow start to deflate and retract. This process may be a bit lengthy, but it will definitely happen naturally.

2. Excess energy during pregnancy and lactation

For many new mothers, it also includes eating the fat they have saved during pregnancy, which depends on diet and exercise to solve.

Perhaps because of traditional concepts or the strict control of elders, expectant mothers continue to "eat" and "make up" during pregnancy and lactation in the name of "doing the best for the baby"! The long-term habit of eating more and exercising less will not bring extra benefits to the baby. The excess calories will only turn into fat on the mother's body.

3. Loose belly can only last time

Even if the belly is slimming down, the loose belly that the baby has stretched out cannot be solved by exercise and diet. It can only be absorbed slowly through time!

As long as we start eating and exercising as soon as possible, we can transform quickly and brilliantly.

Key ① Be able to eat and lose weight, and have enough milk

First control how much you eat and what you eat.

If a new mother gives up breastfeeding after childbirth, it is good to keep the diet the same amount that can maintain her weight before pregnancy; however, most mothers are encouraged to insist on breastfeeding, and the diet is basically the same as in the third trimester of pregnancy, or about 500 kilocalories more than before pregnancy.

Mothers with strong weight control needs can reduce their diet slightly, only increasing by 300 kcal compared with before pregnancy. 300 kilocalories are not too much or too little. It is almost equivalent to increasing drinking 200 milliliters of milk. It is recommended to drink 500 milliliters of milk every day and increase the calories of eating 100 to 150 grams of fish, poultry, eggs, and lean meat.

Taking care of my baby every day, I'm so busy that I'm going crazy, and I have to count how many calories I eat. Is it really unrealistic?

In fact, as long as you listen to the voice of your body, it will be fine.

1. Eat only when you are hungry, small amounts each time, and multiple meals a day.

2. Don't overeat and don't habitually eat until you are full.

3. The calories must be controlled and the ingredients must be chosen correctly.

It is also particularly important to choose food types that are richer in nutrients. Eat more fresh vegetables, eat moderate amounts of fresh fruits, eat more coarse grains instead of the staple food of white rice and noodles, and choose lean meat. If you can endure greasy, high-sugar, and heavy-tasting food, try not to eat it.

4. Drink more light soup.

Such as light soy milk, milk, red bean soup, white fungus soup, etc., rather than various oil soups and big tonic soups, to avoid unnecessary fat intake. You know, the fat that mothers store in their bodies during pregnancy is enough for nursing reserves.

5. Don't rush to lose weight.

Don't rush to lose weight during lactation. Eating too little will seriously affect your milk. The stress and tiredness when the body is hungry will reduce the production of breast milk; it may also lead to low fat and nutrients in breast milk, which is a big taboo for new mothers and babies.

Key ② Adhere to breastfeeding and be patient

How long will it take to get my stomach back? Are you anxious to have photos of hot moms in your circle of friends?

The speed and effect of postpartum weight loss are related to pre-pregnancy weight, how much weight gain during pregnancy, amount of activity before and after childbirth, height, age, and even genes. You can't compete with others.

After the baby is born, the hormone changes in the new mother's body cause the uterus to slowly retract, and it returns to its pre-pregnancy size after about 6 to 8 weeks. This time is similar for everyone. If the weight gain during singleton pregnancy is less than 25 pounds, if you eat reasonably, exercise, and breast-feeding, you will naturally lose weight faster.

Especially for breast-feeding mothers, breastfeeding itself will stimulate uterine contraction. Making breast milk consumes reserved fat and extra calories. It is really a very intense exercise. Be patient! Even if all the steps are done correctly, it will still take time before you can see the effect of gradually thinning your stomach.

Key ③ Actively exercise and step by step

Want to tuck your body back into your prenatal skinny jeans? Exercise is a must!

You know that taking care of children takes time, energy and energy, and you are exhausted after a day. How can you still have the mood to exercise? In fact, spend a little bit of time and stick to 15 minutes a day, or even the first 5 minutes. Soon you will find that your physical strength becomes better, your energy is more energetic, and your children are more comfortable. It is a virtuous cycle.

Whether it is a natural birth or a Caesarean section, if there are no special conditions, simple exercise can start 6 weeks after delivery. Professional athletes or special groups need certain guidance if they are starting to exercise and exercise intensively.

1. Start with mild yoga and Pilates

Work on your flexibility and stretch your muscles. It is best to do it under the guidance of a dedicated person. Some dangerous actions should be avoided.

2. Then gradually increase the intensity and start the core training of abdominal muscles

such as plate support, etc. Don't take too much every day, it's not good to strain your muscles.

3. After your body recovers, schedule aerobic exercise according to your interests

Things like running, aerobics and various sports activities.

Key ④ Relax and support your family

New mothers have to face many problems. Just do your best and your mood is the most important thing. The people next to her bed should also be more considerate and patient, and give encouragement and support to her new mother.

A thin belly after childbirth is not as mysterious as imagined. By controlling your diet from the beginning of pregnancy preparation and pregnancy, and insisting on moderate exercise, everyone can quickly upgrade to become an enviable hot mom like female stars.
