Weight loss can be achieved with the right nutrition and lifestyle modifications. Instead of choosing a quick fix, aim for a weight loss of about 1.5 to 2kg a month for sustainable results.
-Avoid consuming a low-calorie diet since you are breastfeeding and focus on the nutritionally right diet with managed portions.
-Focus on balanced plate which includes filling half of your plate with green vegetable (sabzi, soup, salads, stir fry), 1/4th with protein sources (dals, pulses, legumes, low fat paneer, soyabean, tofu, egg whites, fish or lean chicken) and rest 1/4th of your plate with carbohydrates (prefer brown rice, multigrain roti, quinoa or dalia).
-It helps you receive a good amount of fiber and protein which helps you stay full for longer and avoid bingeing on snacks.
-Do continue cardio exercises in the form of brisk walking, running, swimming or any sport of your choice for at least 30 to 45 minutes a day (5 to 6 times / week) after consultation with your healthcare professional.
-Along with diet and exercise, the right hydration (2-2.5l of water daily) and adequate sleep (8 to 9 hours) daily is important as well in managing weight.
