Why do you lose weight so quickly after giving birth? 3 reasons for rapid weight loss

First, insist on breastfeeding after giving birth. Breastfeeding will allow the mother's nutrition to be diverted into breast milk, which will make it easier to lose weight over time. Second, a balanced nutrition combination, if the mother eats a balanced diet, will also make the body lose weight quickly. Finally, taking care of the baby alone after giving birth will take up a lot of energy and physical strength, so naturally you will lose weight quickly.

Reason 1: Breastfeeding after childbirth

Everyone knows that human breast milk is very nutritious, so many doctors now recommend breastfeeding, because the food we eat will be converted into breast milk and supplemented into the baby's body. If your baby drinks milk powder, then everything you eat will become fat, so you will naturally get fatter and fatter.

Reason 2: Balanced nutrition

Those mothers who are more self-disciplined will make a diet plan after giving birth, and try to control the food intake as much as possible while ensuring adequate nutrition every day; but you still eat a lot of meat and fish, always thinking about losing weight in the future, so when you are gaining weight, others are already working hard to lose weight, there is definitely a gap.

In fact, it is very easy to lose weight during the period right after giving birth, but you must use the right method. Don’t just focus on losing weight. At least nutrition must be guaranteed. Listen to the doctor’s advice and resume exercise. Only in this way can you be a healthy and beautiful hot mom!

Reason 3: Taking care of the baby alone after giving birth

You know, it is very hard if there is no one to help take care of the baby after giving birth. Mothers not only have to take care of the children, but also have to do some complicated housework. The baby will cry several times every night, and they have to get up to feed, change diapers, and even sleep well. So under such high-intensity pressure, even if you don’t lose weight, you will naturally lose weight.

1. Control calories and fat. Pay attention to the calories of each food and reduce the intake of high-calorie foods. Eat less fatty meat in your daily diet and eat more fish and white meat (chicken).

2. Eat light food. A light diet is good for women. Eat less salty food or food with soy sauce. These foods contain a lot of sugar or salt, which will not only increase body fat, but also be detrimental to postpartum wound recovery.

3. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are not only rich in nutrition, but also can help mothers lose weight. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in fiber after childbirth can help promote intestinal digestion, laxative and moisturizing.

4. Eat regularly. It is best to eat at regular times and regular amounts every day. Do not eat too fast, chew slowly, and keep each meal for more than 20 minutes.

5. Negative calorie balance. The secret to losing weight is that the calorie intake must be less than the body's consumption.

6. Losing weight requires a high level of willpower. Willpower directly determines the final result of weight loss. Mothers must have firm confidence in losing weight.

1. Rest quietly for 30-40 days. The most important thing after childbirth is "rest". Those who give birth naturally need to rest for 30 days. Those who have a caesarean section, spontaneous abortion or artificial abortion must extend the rest period to more than 40 days!

2. The last two weeks is the time when the uterus contracts fastest. During pregnancy, the uterus is stretched very large by the fetus. Once the baby is born, the uterus becomes a vacuum state, and the internal organs become very loose because they are no longer under pressure. Therefore, within two weeks after delivery, except for eating and going to the toilet, you should stay in bed and rest at all times, whether it is day or night.

3. Wear a belly band frequently: prevent "sag of internal organs" and "tighten the abdomen". During the confinement period, special attention must be paid to prevent "sag of internal organs", because sag of internal organs may be the root cause of all "women's diseases" and "premature aging", and will cause a small belly. Therefore, during the confinement period, you must wear a belly band frequently to tighten the abdomen and prevent sag of internal organs. If you originally have sag of internal organs, you can also use the confinement period to improve it.

4. Washing your hair is strictly prohibited: But you need to use the correct method to clean your scalp. As long as the scalp is cold, the dirty blood in the uterus will immediately coagulate into blood clots that are difficult to discharge. Even if you blow dry it immediately, it is not allowed. Moreover, using a hair dryer to blow your hair can easily cause head wind and headaches. If the waste blood in the uterus is not cleaned up, it is very likely to cause hormonal imbalance and endocrine disharmony, and then produce many complications. Therefore, you must absolutely abide by not washing your hair for 30 days after delivery to avoid endless troubles!

5. Do not be blown by wind: no matter it is hot wind or cold wind. After childbirth, the pores of the whole body, including the pores of the scalp, are open. Once the wind blows, no matter it is hot wind or cold wind, the pores will shrink immediately, which can easily cause muscle and bone pain, headache, head wind, and even cold.

6. Avoid touching cold water: Mothers should avoid touching cold water to prevent catching a cold or causing soreness. Therefore, hot water should be used for bathing, washing face, washing hands, brushing teeth or taking a shower after the third week after delivery.

You can play with your phone during the confinement period, but you should also pay attention to not playing with your phone for too long each time, and your eyes must be away from the phone screen when playing. The confinement period is a critical period for the mother's physical recovery. If the mother often plays with her phone for a long time, it will not only easily cause eye fatigue and affect eye health, but also cause wrist discomfort, thus affecting the recovery of the body after delivery. When playing with your phone during the confinement period, the mother must pay attention to protecting her eyes, do not adjust the phone screen too bright, do not keep your eyes too close to the phone screen, and be careful not to play with the baby, because the newborn baby's nerve development is not yet mature, and the adverse external stimulation is very bad for the baby's health. In addition, the mother should pay attention not to maintain a posture for a long time when playing with the phone. After playing for half an hour, she should put down the phone and rest for more than ten minutes.
