What causes weight gain during breastfeeding?

Many postpartum mothers will find that they are more likely to gain weight during breastfeeding than during the entire pregnancy process. In fact, the reason why it is easy to gain weight during breastfeeding is mainly because in order to increase the secretion of milk, many mothers will consume too much soup or high-fat and high-calorie foods. In addition, if they do not pay attention to controlling the amount and do not get enough exercise, they will naturally gain weight.

1. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we tend to eat better, and the secretion of hormones in the body tends to make us gain weight. Generally, it will gradually recover in about a year after giving birth. If you are still fat after such a long time, you can control your diet appropriately, do more activities appropriately, and lose weight appropriately. However, don't control your diet too much.

2. Control your diet and reduce calorie intake. But reducing does not mean not eating. Instead, you should have a balanced diet and a reasonable combination of foods. It is best to develop a weight loss diet. Foods for weight loss include: cucumber, winter melon, sweet potato, taro, leek, pepper, konjac, frozen tofu, white radish, mung bean sprouts, ginger, seaweed, pumpkin, tomato, carrot, white lily, kelp, soy products, asparagus, bamboo shoots, hawthorn, apple, lemon, grapefruit, orange, and many teas.

3. Like green tea, Pu'er tea! Eat more whole grains and less oily foods, and do aerobic exercise every day. Running, dancing, jogging, climbing stairs, etc. are all good aerobic exercises! Healthy weight loss is not a short-term thing, but depends on your own perseverance and continuous efforts. A good lifestyle is the first step

4. Abdominal weight loss exercises: Rub the abdomen : The practitioner lies on his back on the bed, puts his hands together, and massages in clockwise and counterclockwise directions for 50 circles each; then, puts his hands separately on the abdomen, and massages up and down 50 times. You are not required to use any mental power. You can hold your breath and push up your abdomen to practice, one set in the morning and one set in the evening. Body rotation: Stand upright with legs shoulder-width apart, put your hands on your waist or hang them on both sides of your body, and rotate your body to the left and right 50 times each as your body swings. When turning, the legs should not move, the body should be turned in a large range, the back should be straight, and the head and neck should be raised.
