Three major myths about postpartum weight loss

Many female friends will find that they have gained weight after giving birth. Losing weight after childbirth is a very difficult task, so many mothers hope to find the best way to lose weight. Although there are many ways to lose weight after childbirth, we must not believe in rumors and use some methods indiscriminately. We must pay attention to scientific methods. Below we will introduce to you the three major rumors about postpartum weight loss.

Rumor 1: Dieting after childbirth can help you lose weight healthily

Within 42 days after delivery, mothers should not blindly go on a diet to lose weight. After giving birth, mothers have the dual tasks of restoring energy and feeding the baby. If the nutrition is not enough, both mother and child will suffer. In severe cases, it may cause various postpartum complications. Therefore, it is not advisable to lose weight by dieting.

Myth 2: Diet meals = low-calorie meals

When many mothers prepare "slimming meals" for themselves, they often calculate based on calories. They think that vegetables and fruits are low in calories, so they only eat vegetables and fruits, and they dare not eat meat and dairy products because they are high in calories. This idea is really unreliable.

The postpartum diet should be comprehensive and reasonable. It is not recommended to eat fish and meat within the second week after delivery because of the body's absorption. In the third week, when the body has adapted, you can eat some. Postpartum women should not be picky about food. Their diet should be a combination of dry and liquid foods, meat and vegetables. They should eat less fried, deep-fried foods and other foods that are difficult to digest.

Rumor 3: Take weight loss pills after giving birth

If new mothers are still breastfeeding, no matter how long it has been, they should not take diet pills. When mothers take diet pills during breastfeeding, the drugs will be excreted through breast milk and reach the baby's body directly. Newborn babies have poor liver detoxification function. Large doses of drugs can easily cause a decrease in the baby's liver function and lead to abnormal liver function.
