From then on, bid farewell to slim figure and fashionable clothes and step into the ranks of middle-aged women. Are you really willing? Of course, I won't be willing. In order to lose weight, many mothers have tried their best, even dieting, but they still can't lose weight! Here Merlot has to say that you are going in the wrong direction. How to bid farewell to postpartum obesity? Let's see what the chief nutritionist of Zhimeile said.

Diet during pregnancy and postpartum can be said to be the most important one. The combination of meat and vegetables, balanced nutrition, not only to meet the body's intake of adequate nutrition, but also to avoid overnutrition.

The diet during pregnancy should be light, eat less cold, cold, spicy, sweet and easy to get angry, and pay attention to avoid foods with heavy oil, heavy salt, heavy sugar and heavy seasoning.

Eating white rice and flour can only consume more calories and get no nutrition. It is suggested that pregnant mothers should eat coarse grains and whole grains instead of some refined starch foods, such as coarse grains and miscellaneous beans. These foods are rich in protein and dietary fiber, which can induce diuresis, prevent constipation, help absorb water in the body, evaporate calories and help to consume some fat.

Eat more green leafy vegetables, red and yellow fruits and vegetables, and try to be as diverse as possible. Vegetables and fruits contain many antioxidant nutrients, which are good sources of antioxidant substances such as vitamin C, vitamin E, anthocyanins, carotene, etc., and can help eliminate free radicals in the body and reduce cell damage.

The supplement of meat nutrition is indispensable during pregnancy, so the choice of meat is particularly critical. The chief nutritionist of Zhimeile recommended a secret: "Less red meat and more white meat". Fish and shrimp are the first choice for meat because of their high protein content and low fat and energy, so you can eat more in moderation. For red meat, you can choose beef, which is rich in iron.

Insist on breast-feeding. Breast-feeding will promote the metabolism and nutrient circulation of the mother's body and reduce the accumulation of subcutaneous fat. Studies have shown that compared with formula milk or mixed feeding, exclusive breast-feeding for 4 months is related to the mother's recovery of pre-pregnancy weight.

Pregnant women are a special group, not all exercise methods are suitable, so it is best to choose low-difficulty, simple, fast and effective exercise. For example: brisk walking, jogging, cycling, aerobics, stair climbing, yoga, and some simple abdominal exercises. Although these exercises have good slimming effect, the key is persistence.

Farewell to postpartum obesity depends on self-discipline, and the most important thing is to cooperate with nutrition management and proper exercise. 80% nutrition +20% exercise = 100% health! Say goodbye to "fat mom" with Merlot and work hard for "hot mom"!
