Nutritionist and diabetes educator Khushboo Jain Tibrewala, founder of The Health Pantry, called post delivery fat loss “a natural process”. “Lactation is the best way,” said Tibrewala while listing a few processes that can aid fat loss.
*Feed your baby for as long as you can. Boost milk production with the help of our traditional remedies that include fenugreek seeds, carom seeds, fennel seeds, etc.
*Switch to no sugar variations of the traditional foods. For eg. ladoos can be sweetened with dates puree or coconut sugar instead.
*Be active throughout the day.
*Eat whole, unprocessed foods as much as you can.
What to keep in mind?
To ensure steady weight loss, support exercise with a proper and healthy meal, Dr Sushma Pachouri, nutrition and fitness – Advance Plus Coach, told indianexpress.com.
“Protein is an essential macronutrient; its role is to help the body build lean muscles. This is why, doctors often recommend having protein for body recovery even after childbirth. Also, protein helps to keep you satiated for a longer duration and, hence, regulates your appetite. One can constitute a protein element in every meal of the day to ensure that your daily intake is monitored. One should consume more than the bare minimum recommended daily intake, which is 1.2 gm/kg,” said Dr Pachouri.
But, before starting, it is essential to note that one must not push themselves too hard to lose weight, Shivani Sikri, chief nutritionist, Nutri4Verve, said in an earlier interaction with indianexpress.com. “Even if you were in good shape before and during your pregnancy, you shouldn’t push too hard, mainly because your joints are more elastic for several months following delivery due to a hormone called relaxin that’s released during pregnancy.”
