- Focus on Recovery First
Before jumping into any weight loss routine, let your body heal. Wait at least 6–8 weeks, or until your doctor gives you the go-ahead.
- Eat for Nourishment, Not Restriction
Crash dieting is a big no. Your body needs nutrients to recover and (if you’re breastfeeding) to produce milk. Stick to whole grains, lean protein (like dal, paneer, and eggs), healthy fats (like ghee and nuts), and fresh veggies.
- Stay Hydrated
Water helps with metabolism, digestion, and milk supply. Aim for 2.5–3 liters a day to support your recovery and fat loss.
- Start Slow with Movement
Begin with light walks, pelvic floor exercises, or postnatal yoga. As your strength returns, introduce strength training to rebuild muscle and boost metabolism.
- Sleep When You Can
Sleep is tough with a newborn, but it’s critical. Poor sleep can lead to cravings and weight gain. Nap when your baby naps.
- Be Kind to Yourself
Hormones, emotions, and fatigue are all part of this journey. Progress will be slow, but steady wins the race.
Your post-pregnancy weight loss journey should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
