Females should not excessively pursue rapid weight loss during lactation. Considering the body is relatively weak after childbirth, it is a time to strengthen nutrition and ensure adequate milk supply, which is conducive to better breastfeeding for the baby. If one really wants to lose weight, it is recommended to wait for two months after childbirth and do some low-intensity exercises. Gradually increase the intensity of exercise according to the physical changes to achieve scientific and healthy weight loss.
Losing weight during lactation is not suitable for a period of time after childbirth. Therefore, mothers should not start weight loss too early. Generally, weight loss should be started after 6 to 8 weeks postpartum because the body needs some time to recover and ensure adequate milk secretion. Starting weight loss prematurely may not only affect one's physical recovery but also affect milk secretion. It is better to do some simple and low-intensity exercises, such as walking slowly or taking a stroll, and then gradually increase the intensity of exercise based on the physical recovery.
How to lose weight quickly during lactation?
1. Establish a correct and reasonable diet method without affecting the quality of milk. Adjust the diet of eating lots of meat and fish during confinement to avoid overnutrition. Prevent excessive eating, especially fatty foods and meat with high-fat content.
2. Do some appropriate exercises, such as running and yoga, to promote fat consumption and avoid obesity caused by staying indoors without exercise during confinement.
3. The best way to lose weight should be after weaning the baby because weight loss during lactation may lead to insufficient milk for the baby and decreased immunity for the mother. Therefore, it is essential to adjust based on one's physical condition and not do it blindly.
4. Scientific weight loss requires consuming various foods to supplement energy instead of sticking to a favorite food, which is unscientific and unlikely to achieve weight loss results.
