Having a perfect figure is every girl's dream at all times. Beauty is capital, so losing weight is a must. So, how long after childbirth is the best time to lose weight? Let's find out together.
How long after childbirth is the best time to lose weight?
Generally speaking, the best time for postpartum weight loss is within the first six months after giving birth, which can be considered the golden period for weight loss. During this time, the mother's body has almost fully recovered, and she can start more "intensive" weight loss methods. Multiple methods can be used simultaneously to accelerate the weight loss process.
It is reported that the timing of postpartum weight loss also has a significant impact on maintaining the body in the long run. If weight is not reduced in a timely manner after childbirth, there is a high possibility of gaining weight again in the future, and the weight gain may be significant. The six-month postpartum period is considered the golden period and serves as a dividing line.
According to research, if a mother can restore her pre-pregnancy weight within 6 months after childbirth, her weight will, on average, increase by 2.4 kilograms in 8 to 10 years. If the postpartum weight cannot be reduced, the average weight will increase by 8.3 kilograms in 8 to 10 years.
In addition, the effects of weight loss within the first six months after childbirth are more pronounced. Therefore, for mothers who want to quickly regain their figure after childbirth, it is recommended to lose weight during this golden period.
Postpartum dieting methods
Dieting for weight loss is achieved by scientifically adjusting the diet structure. It's better to eat more fruits than to take weight loss pills.
1. Lemon
Lemon is definitely a fruit that helps slim the face, especially the substances and vitamin C it contains, which promote metabolism and not only help slim the face but also the body.
2. Tomato
Tomatoes contain lycopene, dietary fiber, and pectin, which are almost all water, making you feel full.
And the calorie content is very low, with only 30 calories per 200 grams, making it very suitable for weight loss.
3. Papaya
The protein-digesting enzymes and papain in papaya can break down fat, allowing you to achieve both slimming the face and breast enhancement and body shaping.
4. Apple
As the saying goes, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." Apples are high in nutritional value and are also very suitable for weight loss.
Speaking of weight loss, many people immediately think of dieting methods because many people simply believe that being overweight is caused by overeating. However, relying solely on dieting for weight loss is not considered scientific. For a healthier weight loss, it is best to improve the diet structure and achieve better body shaping through a balanced diet.
Postpartum exercise methods
Postpartum yoga fitness exercises focus on the chest, waist, abdomen, and legs.
Breastfeeding and weaning after childbirth can cause sagging and drooping of the breasts, so they need special care in daily life. In addition to proper breast care during pregnancy and breastfeeding, maintaining a reasonable diet structure and ensuring sufficient nutrition and calorie supply, postpartum yoga exercises that target specific body postures, such as camel pose, wheel pose, sun salutation, and shoulder rotation pose, are recommended.
Most postpartum women also have varying degrees of thickening in their legs, so leg exercises are also important. In yoga practice, you can choose postures that enhance leg beauty, such as knee-hugging pose and supine cross pose.
The problem of the waist and abdomen is most prominent after childbirth. When exercising the waist, you can choose postures with specific effects, such as V pose, cat pose, snake pose, and crawling abdominal contraction pose. The above yoga exercises can promote smooth blood circulation throughout the body, facilitate smooth milk flow, eliminate fatigue, help postpartum physical recovery, and also be the most effective way to regain body shape.
In addition, postpartum mothers can also choose a relatively gentle tea therapy weight loss method, such as herbal chocolate tea, which helps reduce fat accumulation in the body to the greatest extent and prevent rebound.
