How To Lose Pregnancy Weight

How To Lose Pregnancy Weight
Once you give birth to a healthy baby, you have to take care of your post delivery diet. A lot of women are extremely keen to shed weight immediately after delivery. However, one should ideally reduce one's daily intake of calories very gradually by 200 to 300 calories. Don't cut down on your eating very drastically as that may hamper lactation. Mother's milk may lessen if the weight loss is too severe. In fact, lactation may even cease altogether. Later on, when lactation lessens naturally or when the baby begins to drink less milk, you can go on a normal low-calorie balanced diet.



Exercising is important, if you can find the time for a little exercise, squeeze it into your daily schedule. Or at least three time a week. You may, if you are too busy to exercise, do the following: If you have to sit stand. If you have to stand for something, try spot marching. If you have to walk, run. If there is a lift use the stairs. Climb the stairs until you are tired and take the lift.



Park your car a few blocks away from your destination and walk. If you are using a taxi or bus, get off a little distance from your destination and walk the rest of the way.



Try and accommodate a little housework into your daily routine. Even if you have servants at your disposal do a little of your household chores. That way, it won't be only your servants who'll be healthy. You will in the bargain shake off that lethargy shed some fat. Dust the bay's cot, wash some of the baby's clothes, dress the baby on your own, bath the baby and supervise their needs. Besides careful eating walk a lot and do some breathing and stretching exercises.



One must also understand that during pregnancy one must not put on more than 10 to 14 kgs all through the nine months. However, pregnancy is not the time to do any extreme dieting as that could adversely affect the baby. Normally, the diet of a woman doing average housework should be around 2000 calories per day. When pregnant, this should be increased only by about 200 to 300 calories.



It is very important for a pregnant woman's diet to have all the proper nutrients, minerals and vitamins. She should avoid foods that are fatty in content, especially junk food like heavy pizzas oozing with cheese, chips, sugary and fried foods, cream biscuits etc.
