Tips that must be followed for proper weight loss planning (Part One)
Do
not start following any diet close to birth because the body needs more
time to recover from labor and birth, especially in the first six weeks
of birth. In the case of breastfeeding, it is recommended to wait until
the child is two months old to start any diet
Recent studies have proven that adopting any diet to lose weight after a short period of time after giving birth
affects the quantity and quality of the breastfeeding mother’s milk,
delays the mother’s recovery of health, and increases her general
fatigue at a time when the mother needs more energy to adapt to her new
child
Be realistic when it comes to losing weight,
and take into account that returning the body to its pre-natal state
may not be easy for some women, due to pregnancy causing permanent
changes such as a softening abdomen, a slight widening of the hips, a
change in bone structure, and an increase in waist circumference
Since
there are no magic pills available to help the mother lose the weight
she gained during pregnancy, eating healthy food and exercising
stimulates the loss of fat instead of muscle. It is recommended to
gradually lose weight by getting used to eating smaller amounts of food
and increasing physical activity, with the need to consult a fitness
specialist to determine the body’s readiness to engage in any sporting
activity, especially after childbirth
Do not follow any strict and
restrictive diet, as the mother needs a minimum of calories equivalent
to 1,200 calories per day, and her consumption usually ranges around
1,940 calories per day to maintain her energy and avoid mood swings. In
the case of breastfeeding, the mother needs a minimum amount of calories
equivalent to 2,200 calories, at a rate that may range between 2,000 -
2,700 calories per day to ensure proper nutrition for her child, as the
rapid weight loss of the breastfeeding mother affects the quality and quantity of her milk
