How to Lose Weight After Pregnancy

1. Walk as much as you can: Start with light walking once a day gradually making it twice a day. Light paced walking for 30 minutes should be sufficient just post-delivery
2. Count your calories: While dieting is not advised it is better to keep a count on your calories intake, which should be around 1800 calories. Snack on fruits or seeds if you feel hungry not only will they help in better milk let down it will not add on to your calories
3. Smart food choices: Switch to smart food choices like oats, brown rice, brown bread, soup, salads as they are healthy, filling, and won’t add extra calories to you

6. Massage helps: Massage your tummy with pure coconut oil or any good lotion at least twice a day it will help to tighten the skin and promotes good blood flow
7. Stay positive: You took nine months to gain the weight you have now it will not go in a week or in a month’s time so relax, and keep a positive state of mind. Be happy and don’t lose hope
