It is the dream of almost all mothers to eat nutritiously without gaining weight during confinement. However, due to the drop in temperature in winter, the traditional habit is to eat more high-fat and high-calorie foods.
In fact, confinement in winter and at other times have no impact on diet. If you want to eat nutritiously and not gain weight, the key is to have a reasonable diet and to combine it with appropriate exercise. What and how much should be eaten during confinement?
There are no special dietary taboos during confinement. You can eat normal food, but the most important thing is the type and quantity of ingredients.
For the diet during breastfeeding, you can refer to the above quantities and reasonably arrange the food you need to eat a day into three meals. You can prepare the food you eat every day and roughly count the types and quantities to ensure nutrition. Rich and well-matched. Pay attention to the right amount and eat more fruits and vegetables.
There is a common misunderstanding during confinement, which is to pay attention to protein in the mother's diet, that is, to eat more meat and fish, but the combination of thickness and thickness is often ignored. Many people eat too little vegetables and fruits during confinement. , drinking a lot of broth, rib soup, fish soup, etc. with high fat content will lead to rapid weight gain.
Looking at the winning entries in the Confinement Meal Contest held by the Nutrition Society, I found that there are many types of ingredients used. Below I will list a postpartum meal recipe for one day in one entry, including: potato pancakes and rice cereal. , mixed vegetables, chicken soup, kelp and tofu soup, mixed vegetables, bibimbap, boiled corn, milkshake, etc.
The ingredients used are: flour, potatoes, carrots, purple sweet potatoes, glutinous rice, milk, eggs, kiwi fruit, cashew nuts, rice millet, chicken, jujube, lotus seeds, wolfberry, kelp, tofu, apricot abalone Ru, cucumber, cabbage, vermicelli, pear, strawberry, rhubarb, fungus, bean sprouts, seaweed, sesame, shrimp, tomatoes, baby cabbage, daylily, lettuce, corn, dragon fruit.
I counted, not including the oil and salt used, there are 34 kinds of ingredients. The staple food is mainly potatoes and grains, vegetables and fruits are also very rich, and fish, shrimp, meat and eggs It also uses shrimp and chicken that are not prone to fattening. This combination is not only rich in nutrients, but also low in fat, making it less likely to make people gain weight. Drink more water and exercise moderately
During lactation, it is recommended to drink 2100-2300 ml of water every day. Drinking more water is beneficial to lactation, can also reduce food intake, and is conducive to body recovery. If you want to get back in shape as soon as possible, you should start moving as soon as possible and don't stay in bed too much. You can do puerperal exercises, walking, etc. according to your physical condition. Therefore, if you want to avoid gaining weight during confinement, your diet is very important. Changing the traditional view and eating scientifically can avoid gaining weight.
