My baby is almost 3 months and the post pregnancy weight is just not going anywhere. I'm also breastfeeding so I dont want to cut food in a wrong way. what kind of diet worked for you mommas without affecting milk supply?
Beta, do not skip meals now. Have warm ajwain water daily, and eat methi ladoos made with less ghee to help with lactation and slowly reduce belly fat.
It is totally normal to feel self-conscious about post-delivery weight, I went through the same stress. But please give your body at least 6 months to heal before dieting. Focus on healthy nutrients right now.
I used a calorie tracker app just to ensure I was eating enough protein and fiber without overeating. Tracking my daily water intake really helped flush out toxins and reduce bloating.
Actually, breastfeeding helps a lot in losing weight naturally, yaar. Don't go on any crash diets now. Just cut down on processed sugar and eat home-cooked food.
I used to cry looking at my pre-pregnancy clothes, but trust me, your body naturally sheds most of the weight in 6-12 months. Just eat clean, home-cooked food and don't stress about the scale.
In our joint family, my saas insisted on heavy ghee post-delivery, but I balanced it by having light khichdi and lots of green leafy veggies too. Just avoid oily deep-fried food.
With a busy schedule, meal prepping is key. I kept roasted makhana and oats ready for quick snacks, so I didn't reach for junk when hungry. Keep it practical and simple.
My mother suggested having ragi kanji and idli as they are light and nutritious, and my doctor also agreed it is great for postpartum recovery. Do what suits your body best.
I just delivered 2 months back and honestly, I am only focusing on eating balanced meals with high protein. Walking around the house with the baby is my only exercise right now and it's slowly helping.
Losing weight? I am barely finding time to brush my teeth! But honestly, running after the baby and breastfeeding burns so many calories anyway, just eat enough to survive the day!
When I was at my parents' house, my mom used to give me simple lauki sabzi, light dal, and daliya. This helped me stay light and healthy without losing my strength.
