Healthy afternoon ma’am,
During postpartum period, focus on filling up on healthy sources of:
Protein
Fruits
Vegetables
Fiber- rich
Fats like avacados, nuts and seeds.
Keep in mind that calorie intake and appropriate macronutrient ranges vary depending on your activity level, body size and more. Plus health conditions.
Stay hydrated all day long
Keep eye on your calories
Remember weight loss is ideally slow and gradual.
Continue prenatal vitamins
Curb your caffeine intake
Minimise empty calories
Health Tips
Eating healthy postpartum diet is a key factor in recovering from pregnancy and childbirth as well as losing weight- if it’s your goal.
Take it slow, and for hormone regulation, mental health and sustained energy. The weight will come eventually, and you’ll feel much better in the meantime
