Are you struggling to lose weight? Are you frustrated or so angry because you haven’t been able to lose weight after all the exercises and diet programs you’ve been on? If your answer is yes, read on. If you are reading this article, chances are you or someone you know gained weight during or after pregnancy.
During your pregnancy you went through several hormonal changes. You must have remembered having desperate cravings. If you’re currently pregnant and want to avoid gaining excess weight, there’s still time to control your cravings to shed those extra pounds. But if not, it’s never too late to start now.
Due to the hormonal changes you have experienced, you are unable to control your food intake for psychological reasons. This gave you extra weight and fat. Study shows fat cells are permanent in the body and can’t be removed, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a chance to lose weight anymore because we can “shrink” those cells.
If you’ve gained about 20-30 pounds, it will take months or years to get back to the pre-pregnancy weight. You really have to be patient with your body. Don’t force yourself to reach the goal immediately.
It is not recommended that you start punishing yourself with dieting by restricting your food intake, especially after pregnancy. You are expected to breastfeed your child for around 6 to 9 months, which is much more important than regaining their usual appearance. You need to eat healthily for the baby.
Eat well and exercise. Make sure your meal consists of all the nutrients that are needed. Play badminton matches with some friends on the weekends so you can have fun and reconnect after your 9 month vacation.
Discover ways to lose weight without taking any health risks while staying healthy. If you are reading this line, you must be aware that losing weight is not a matter of vanity, it is a matter of health.
