But in October, no matter how you control it, you will also gain some weight, and if you want to lose weight after giving birth, you need to spend some thought.
Wu Qian's weight loss experience is good confinement + breastfeeding.
Confinement must be well sat and given time for the body to recover.
Then there is breastfeeding, and breastfeeding can really be thin.
Wu Qian personally fed for a year, and at the time of weaning, she was 10 pounds thinner than before pregnancy.
After reading Wu Qian's sharing, some mothers agreed, and some mothers objected.
Mothers who agree with me think: breastfeeding can really be thin, and I was also the thinnest time when I was weaned.
"Wu Qian is right, I didn't binge eat, I lost weight after giving birth."
"Yes, you won't get fat no matter how you eat during feeding."
"I am also pro-feeding, 10 pounds lighter than before pregnancy, and now I am back again after weaning."
"Breastfeeding is really thin, and I immediately return to my pre-pregnancy weight."
The mother who opposes feels that not everyone is like this, and they can't lose weight if they feed too much.
"Kissing is also fat, I just don't get fat when I'm pregnant."
"Personal physique, I also gave birth to breast milk, but I can't lose weight."
Can breastfeeding lose weight? What should I do to lose weight after giving birth? Today we will talk about it in detail.

The experience of people who have come over tells us:
Breastfeeding helps slim after childbirth!
On social platforms, many mothers shared their experiences of feeding breast milk to lose weight:
"I lost 20 pounds after feeding me a month with a lot of milk."
"I gained 34 pounds during pregnancy, and I lost 28 pounds in confinement, and the method of breast milk weight loss is really reliable."
"The good thing about breast milk for me is that I can really lose weight, and I am thinner now than I was before pregnancy."
"I have also been breastfeeding all the time, and I am thinner than before I gave birth, but the premise is that I don't need to eat very well for breastfeeding."
It can be seen that there are indeed many mothers who have lost weight because of this.
Celebrity mother Lin Aichen also shared her postpartum weight loss experience 2 months after giving birth, she said: Feeding breast milk all the time will make her thin, because you can consume a lot of calories.
The experience of people who have come over tells us that breastfeeding + correct diet can indeed help the body recover.

Can breastfeeding after childbirth slim down?
Yes, but the effect varies from person to person
Breast milk can help lose weight after childbirth, mainly because it takes nearly 500 calories to produce milk every day.
This is equivalent to consuming the calories of a large meal;
or 45-60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity.
Breastfeeding mothers will also pay more attention to their diet, and the less processed high-calorie foods they eat, the more they can also help lose weight.
Both of these factors may explain why studies confirm that breastfeeding mothers lose weight faster than mothers without breast milk.
Data show that mothers who exclusively breastfeed for 3 months lose 1.5 kg more in the first year of postpartum than mothers who are formula or mixed feeded.
Of course, the effect of breast milk diet varies from person to person.
In theory, consuming 500 calories a day could help a breastfeeding mother lose 0.45 kg per week and 1.8 kg per month.
If you gain 11.5-16 kg during pregnancy, you can lose the added weight 6-8 months after giving birth.
But in reality, there are some breastfeeding mothers who have a hard time losing weight for two reasons:
(1) Increased hunger. Breast milk eats more, moves less, and replenishes fewer calories than breast milk can burn.
(2) Lack of sleep and irregularity. Lack of sleep causes the body to release cortisol and other stress hormones, which promote weight gain.
The combination of these two factors will make it difficult for some breastfeeding mothers to lose weight naturally.

The most effective way to lose weight after giving birth is:
Reasonable diet + exercise consumption!
For mothers who gain too much weight during pregnancy, they cannot rely solely on breastfeeding to lose weight, and they must control their diet at any time and also take a step forward.
It should be noted that breastfeeding mothers should lose weight after giving birth, put physical health and nutritional needs in the first place, and then lose weight scientifically.
The first step in scientific weight loss is to eat a balanced diet and eat healthy.
● Eat fruits and vegetables: Stay away from processed foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, let fruits and vegetables account for the majority of calorie intake, eat 4-5 servings of vegetables a day, eat 3 servings of fruits.
●Eat superfoods: Eating nutrient-dense, low-calorie- and fat-dense foods, such as fish, which is rich in DHA can help newborns build a healthy brain and nervous system.
Milk and yogurt are also superfoods, they are rich in calcium, which can keep bones strong, as well as protein, lean meats, chicken and beans are low in fat, high in protein and fiber, they are good for health, but also maintain fullness and help with weight loss.
● Drink more water - drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, water can fill the stomach, but also accelerate the body's metabolism, studies have shown that every time after drinking 500ml of water, the body will burn 24-30% of calories after an hour, and will also reduce appetite and calorie intake.
● Disperse calorie intake – Do not eat 2-3 large meals, eat small and frequent meals, eat snacks in between, and spread out the diet every day, the body is less likely to enter "hunger mode".
● Eat the right amount - breastfeeding mothers do not need thick soup supplements, and the biggest "contribution" of high-concentration chicken soup and fish soup is long! Fat! Fat! During breastfeeding, a daily calorie intake of 1500-1800 calories is sufficient, and overeating is not required.
For healthy eating arrangements for breastfeeding mothers, please refer to the recommendations of the Hong Kong Department of Health:
(*1 bowl = 250 -300 ml; 1 cup = 240 ml)
The second step of scientific weight loss for breastfeeding mothers is - exercise consumption, regular life.
Stepping up the legs is suitable for all mothers who want to lose weight, adding appropriate exercise exercises after childbirth, while adjusting your daily life, can help the body recover and achieve the effect of weight loss.
●Exercise for at least 150 minutes per week. When the body is fully recovered, you can slowly start exercising, starting with light exercise and slowly increasing the intensity of exercise.
● It's good to take a walk. After confinement, even a stroller walk is a good exercise, and walking is a low-intensity exercise that can increase your heart rate without affecting your knees or joints.
●Get sleepy. When your baby is calling you all night like an alarm clock, it's almost impossible to sleep for a full 8 hours, but lack of sleep can make it harder to lose weight, take as many naps as possible, go to bed early, or take a nap at noon.

Don't be in a hurry to lose weight after giving birth!
After giving birth to a baby, the figure is out of shape, fat and loose, which is really unacceptable for women who love beauty.
But mothers should remember that whether there is breast milk or not, postpartum weight loss is not a quick success, too eager to succeed, will hurt the body.
Xiong Dailin lost weight because of postpartum dieting, and as a result, she sent herself to the hospital.
Qi Wei, who was pregnant and gained more than 40 pounds, also wanted to lose weight after giving birth, so she did strenuous exercise too early and was scolded by the doctor.
The body that has experienced pregnancy and childbirth needs a certain amount of time to recover, not only does the uterus need time to return to its pre-pregnancy size, but the water that the body hoards during pregnancy also takes some time to leave the body.
Lose weight after childbirth, you must not be in a hurry, these 3 things, you can't do one, hurt yourself and hurt your baby.
First: Don't take diet pills
Some weight loss drugs will act on milk and be absorbed by the baby through milk, which means that the baby is also taking diet pills with the mother, which will harm the baby's health.
Second: Do not exercise vigorously too early
Postpartum exercise should be carried out gradually, and starting vigorous exercise too early, especially 6-8 weeks after delivery, will increase the chance of pelvic floor organ sagging and overload the body, causing damage.
Remember: Exercise in the first three months after giving birth should be about getting used to the body, not hoping for results, such as runners walking first and then jogging.
Third: don't diet to lose weight
Dieting to lose weight will lose more and more fat, because dieting will slow down metabolism and make us consume fat more slowly!
Especially for breastfeeding mothers, in order to meet the nutrition and supply of breast milk, it is necessary to supplement enough nutrition, and excessive dieting will affect the supply of milk.
The last thing to say is: postpartum obese mothers, do not be discouraged, pregnant in October rose meat, after giving birth to lose weight, but also slowly.
