Diet

A well-rounded diet with fruits, vegetables, legumes, lean meat and low-fat dairy products boosts your metabolism and keeps you away from adding kilos.

  • Reduce your sodium intake and focus on high-fiber foods that increase the metabolism rate.
  • Also avoid consumption of processed foods as well as stuff that is high in saturated fats like cakes, sweets and chocolates.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and stock your refrigerator with healthy food options to avoid temptations.
  • In no situation should you skip meals to avoid over-eating, since you need to remain more focused and energetic these days.

Lifestyle Changes

Breastfeed your baby as far as possible.

  • Breastfeeding is important not only for the all round growth of the baby, but it also plays an essential role in helping the mother’s body heel and burn excess calories, since the uterus contracts to its original size faster due to the release of the hormone Oxytocin.
  • Pay attention to the way you stand and sit. Maintain a good posture at all times.
  • Lastly, it will do good to be realistic about your fat loss expectations. Reward yourself on reaching milestones and visualize yourself as a healthier, leaner person instead of comparing to the other new-moms.
