Among the many pregnant mothers I have come into contact with, if alleviating the pain of pregnancy is their most urgent need, then weight and figure management during pregnancy must be the most common need, in other words, almost all mothers will ask this question. In fact, weight management during pregnancy is not only related to whether pregnant mothers can spend pregnancy and lactation beautifully, but also related to the health of mothers.
Let's first look at what are the harms of excessive weight gain on the postpartum period?
In fact, pregnancy needs to be reasonably weight gained according to BMI, but some mothers have grown 60 pounds and 70 pounds during pregnancy, which becomes very difficult to restore to pre-pregnancy weight after childbirth, because the weight gain during pregnancy is too much, in fact, most of the growth is their own weight, not children, so after the child is born, you will find that the weight is not reduced much, but the body fat rate will be very high.
When the body fat rate is high, the metabolic rate will decline, so the more weight gained during pregnancy, the higher the difficulty of postpartum weight loss, because when the metabolic rate is reduced, the body consumption is reduced, the body will become more sleepy, at this time if you do a large load of exercise, due to the weight of the body, the body will be prone to some sports injuries, but do small load exercise, the weight loss cycle will be relatively long;
If you don't exercise, but breastfeeding after giving birth, you will feel very hungry, and you will eat more at this time, so it will be more and more difficult to lose weight, and a vicious circle will be formed.
And if you gain a lot of weight during pregnancy, it will also change some of the body's metabolic patterns, and metabolic patterns will make it easier for you to accumulate fat.
At this time, you don't care about eating any food, as long as you can't consume it, it will be converted into fat, which is why you obviously eat the same food, but some people are thin and some people are fat, in fact, it has a lot to do with our metabolic model.
At the same time, when you gain more weight during pregnancy, the brain will also be affected, because there is also a fat accumulation in the brain. To be precise, 50% of the brain is fat, although the weight of the human brain only accounts for about 2% of the human body, but its consumption accounts for about 20% of the body, and the brain consumption is mainly from the sugar, fat, protein in the diet, these to provide, but the brain will actually be more sensitive to sugar.
Therefore, when you gain too much weight during pregnancy, you will often feel that you do not eat sugar, and you will feel uncomfortable with low blood sugar, which is actually a change in the supply and demand pattern of the brain. You will find that the fatter people prefer to eat high-oil and high-fat foods, which is actually the brain's thirst for fat becomes stronger!
And when you are thin, you will feel that high oil and high fat things are very greasy, can not eat into it, so when you gain too much weight, the body's nervous system will also change this perception of food, which will affect our eating habits, which will form a vicious circle, you will find that your diet is difficult to return to this healthy state before pregnancy. So it's hard for your body to regain pre-pregnancy weight after childbirth.
