Treatment to lose weight after pregnancy

how to lose weight after pregnancy?
(20 Sep 2007)

It is very important to lose the gained weight during pregnancy after child birth. This should however be a planned process by combining diet and exercise together.
  • Be focused, set a goal to lose at least 1/2 kg maximum per week.


    Avoid going on fad diets, as your nutritional requirements would be high in the lactating period to ensure healthy breastfeeding.
  • Galactagogue which is generally given to promote breast milk contains too much fat; you can restrict the fat and sugar consumption, but do not completely avoid it.
  • For fiber include at least 8-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables and at least one green leafy vegetable in a days diet.
  • Don’t forget to drink sufficient water, it is very important for adequate hydration and glowing skin.
  • Exercise regularly (after consulting your specialist especially if you had a surgery). This is very important to lose weight in a healthy manner.
