After giving birth, my wife is a little bit depressed because of the extra weight that she had gained during pregnancy
. Worried that it is a sign of post-partum depression, we consulted our doctor on how to lose weight fast after pregnancy safely for my wife as well as our child.
During the visit we were surprised because the advices given by our doctor were fairly common and easy. The first one was to breastfeed our baby. I was not able to remember the scientific explanation for it but based on our doctor's experience over the years, he noticed that most of her breastfeeding patients showed decline in their weights.
Another tip that he gave us on how my wife could lose weight fast after pregnancy was to eat a balanced diet. This does not mean that she should skip meals or limit the type of food that she eats. Doing so could be detrimental to her milk production which would also affect our newborn. Our doctor advised us to look for the calorie intake.
He also advised my wife to engage in exercises. This does not necessarily mean that she have to spend hours in the gym. He said that simple exercise routines done daily for about 20-30 minutes would give noticeable results in a matter of 6 weeks. He said that it is preferable to this during our child's first nap in the morning where my wife still feels refresh and full of energy.
Finally, the last tip he gave us is to relax and get enough rest. He said that it was found out by several studies that having not enough rest could actually lead to weight gain. Having learned how simple are the things that are needed to be done, it boosted my wife's spirits knowing that she could lose weight fast after pregnancy safely for her and our child.
