Getting back in shape
New moms, are you struggling with weight loss after delivery? Here are some safe and healthy ways to lose that baby fat.
Healthy diet
Nutritional demands during lactation are high. If not met, it can have a negative impact on both you and your baby. Eat a well-balanced diet.
Breastfeed
A boon to both the mom and the child, breastfeeding can actually help lose weight. Mothers burn calories while feeding the baby.
Start exercising
Get moving! Exercising can help you burn more calories. Start with gentle exercises and switch to cardio once your body is fully healed.
Add fibre to your diet
If you haven't got the memo, a fibre-rich diet is essential for achieving a healthy weight. It curbs hunger pangs by slowing down digestion.
Choose healthy options
Unhealthy snacking can add unwanted calories to your diet. Choose foods rich in fibre and protein for some guilt-free snacking.
Cut sugar intake
Sugar can make your post-pregnancy weight loss journey more difficult. So, steer clear of sugary treats if you wish to lose weight!
Try healthy proteins
Protein is your best friend when it comes to weight loss. Include eggs, nuts, legumes, and dairy products to load up the protein.

Count your calories
Burn more calories than you consume. Plan your meals according to the number of calories you should consume in a day.
