Post Pregnancy Weight Loss: Top 8 Ways to Shed the Extra Kilos

Updated on 28 March 2023

Putting on some extra weight during pregnancy is quite common as your body accommodates your growing baby and changes in a lot of ways during this time. Most women tend to lose half of their pregnancy weight within 6 weeks after childbirth. The rest of the weight comes off in the next 6 months. In this article, we will discuss some tips that can accelerate your post pregnancy weight loss without any side effects to you or your baby.

How to lose weight after pregnancy?

Here are some tips that can help you with weight loss after pregnancy and fit back into your old clothes:

1. Take your time

Before you begin your post pregnancy weight loss journey, it's important to remember that your body needs time to recover from labor and childbirth. You should only start losing weight after 6 weeks from childbirth. Additionally, if you're breastfeeding, make sure your milk supply has normalised before you start cutting back on calories.

2. Monitor your calorie intake

Always track what you eat and how much you eat. If you are conscious about the number of calories you are consuming, then you will be able to keep a track of how many calories you need on an average and not eat extra that is not required by your body. This will help you greatly with weight loss after delivery.

3. Sip some weight loss tea

Wait, can tea really help you lose weight? Indeed, the Mylo 100% Natural Weight Loss Tea is rich in antioxidants which directly aid lipid metabolism, improve digestion, absorption and assimilation of foods, thereby helping you with weight loss after pregnancy.

4. Eat more fibre and protein

Fibre and protein compiled food items are more fulfilling, and they have fewer calories as compared to carbs and fat. They also help in keeping you fit and fuller, enhancing your metabolism and digestive system, which keeps your weight under control. Also, protein helps in helping your body to heal, which is excellent, post-pregnancy.

5. Avoid sugar and processed foods

Sugar and processed food items are not at all healthy options if you wish to lose weight. Try to avoid canned, processed and packaged food items and sweet-sugary drinks on your post pregnancy weight loss journey.

6. Develop a workout routine

Choose the kind of workout you want to follow, including Yoga, Walking, Running, Aerobics, Zumba, or anything that works for you. Keep up with your workout routine, and you will be able to shed the extra kilograms hovering over your mind and hanging around your midsection.

7. Leave out alcohol

Alcohol is relatively abundant in sugar, and it is best if you do not consume alcohol when you are trying to lose weight. Also, if you are breastfeeding, alcohol may not be a healthy choice for you and also for your baby.

8. Drink enough water

Drinking water works well on improving your metabolism and digestive system. Also, drinking more water keeps you full for a long time, and thus, you must consume the right amount of water each day. You should aim to drink at least 12 cups of fluids in a day.

Closing Thoughts

These are a few tips that can help you on your post pregnancy weight loss journey. And remember to be realistic when it comes to returning to your pre-pregnancy shape. Pregnancy can cause lasting changes in your body such as a wider waistline or softer hips. But that's okay, accept these changes and your new body as you strive for fitness.
