Slimming after childbirth - only if you gained too much weight during pregnancy
Duringpregnancyyour body weight increases, but this is normal as it is related to the development of your baby. You can only talk about excess kilos when you gain more than 10-15 kg.
If you managed to avoid it, it means that you can return to your previous figure relatively easily, because during lactation you need 500 kcal more per day than usual, and you lose as much energy as if you were exercising for an hour.
To meet these increased energy needs, the body first uses fat from around the thighs and buttocks.
- This is the only moment in a woman's life when this happens. Usually, when losing weight, the bust is reduced first, then the arms are thinner, and then the waist. The body burns fat from the thighs and buttocks at the end - says Katarzyna Zielińska, specialist in nutrition and obesity prevention. So if you are breastfeeding and at the same time eating rationally, you will return to your normal body weight within 3-6 months. It will also be similar when you decide not to breastfeed, but your diet is correct. What does that actually mean?
- He althy eating is eating he althy products in the right proportions and at the right time - explains Katarzyna Zielińska. Eat regularly, at least four or even five times a day, normal, small portions. Forget calorie bombs: custard cookies, hamburgers. Reach for fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, meat, fish, milk and its products. Choose products with a lower fat content, limit processed foods, semi-finished products, and sweets, as their nutritional value is low. However, if three months have passed since giving birth and you, despite a he althy diet, do notyou start to lose weight, ask a professional for help.

Slimming after childbirth with the help of a specialist dietitian
If you were overweight before or gained a lot of weight (20-30 kg) during pregnancy, ask a specialist dietitian for help.
Don't look for miracle diets as they are more likely to lead to frustration than success. Besides, there is no one diet suitable for two people, because we are different.
The specialist's recommendations will depend on how old you are, whether you have been complaining about overweight problems for a long time, whether you are breastfeeding, what type of physique, type of work you have, etc. There are different schools among dietitians - some write menus for patients, others teach a he althy lifestyle.
Losing weight is always a long-term matter
- Losing weight is not a matter of a week or a month, but a long-term one. To lose weight successfully, it's best to stop thinking about it.
It is enough that we start living a he althy life and losing weight will come as a reward - Katarzyna Zielińska assures. Start by writing down a detailed menu for 2-3 days. In such notes, a dietitian will find an answer to the question about dietary mistakes (the most common of them are lack of breakfast, hearty dinners, excess sweets and irregular meals). He will tell you what and when you should eat, how to compose meals.
Following his tips, plan your purchases precisely, limiting them to he althy products; always make a list and stick to it. Do not buy in stock, because too much food at home is a temptation.
REMEMBER: losing weight in the full sense of the word (low-calorie diet combined with intense physical activity) can only be started after feeding the baby.
