How Soon Can I Be Losing Weight After Pregnancy?

Typically, mothers put on around 7 pounds of fat during pregnancy.  This fat is intended to help you store energy while breastfeeding and is perfectly natural. The rate at which the weight comes off depends on a number of factors including genetics, overall health, diet and exercise.

Many women lose upwards of 14 pounds during the first 14 days after birth once the weight of the baby, amniotic fluid, placenta and other fluids are taken into account.

After the baby is born, the uterus gradually returns to its original size. Hormone levels that have been elevated during the pregnancy also reduce and this helps additional weight begin to disappear.

It’s easy for patience to wear thin when you are really keen to start losing weight after pregnancy. But remember that it took nine months to put the weight on and realistically may take some months to take the weight off. Nevertheless, it can be annoying to see other mums who seem to be back to their original weight and shape within a very short time.

Nature seems to dictate just how quickly each woman loses weight; some mothers hang on to the last few pounds until they have finished breastfeeding.

It’s good nutrition and regular exercise that enable you to lose weight after pregnancy in the shortest possible time.  Take it slow and steady; this way the weight is much more likely to stay off for good.

Turn your speakers up and tune in to some great ideas!

I’m Losing Weight After Pregnancy, so what should I be eating if still breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding is a good way of losing weight after pregnancy and a great incentive to follow a healthy diet. Focus on eating whole grains and cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables as well as foods that provide plenty of protein, calcium, and iron (I always say, all things is moderation and an occasional treat is fine).

Go for healthy and nutritious snacks like yoghurt, sandwiches made with wholemeal bread filled with leafy greens and canned salmon, tuna, cheese or hummus, a jacket potato with baked beans, or fruit.

Drink plenty of water
Be sure to drink plenty of water – between 2 and 3 litres a day is about right. This will help your body to produce the milk needed for your baby.

Be more aware of what you eat and drink
Substances like caffeine, alcohol, and other toxins can pass from your blood into your breast milk, so excessive amounts should be avoided. You'll be able to establish if your child is sensitive to something you eat or drink, because they’ll show their discomfort by being unsettled after feeds, crying inconsolably, or sleeping badly.
While some women swear that spicy foods upset their babies, trial and error may be your best guide, as food-induced challenges vary markedly from one baby to the next. If you find you can eat garlic chicken or a hot vegetable curry without making your baby unhappy, then enjoy if you like.  Some foods which can sometimes upset a breastfed baby (by inducing colic) include broccoli, cabbage, onions and Brussels sprouts.

Get plenty of iron
Many women have depleted iron stores for many of their childbearing years. Check with your doctor, midwife, or health visitor to see what they recommend. And if you do continue with a general vitamin supplement, remember that it can't make up for poor eating habits. Strive to eat a well-balanced, varied diet.

Losing weight after pregnancy by breastfeeding?
Lose weight gradually by combining a healthy diet with moderate and regular exercise. Rapid weight loss may be a danger to your baby because it can releases toxins normally stored in your body fat into your bloodstream. Some of these may find their way into your milk.

Breastfeeding helps to burn up the fat deposited during pregnancy and uses it for milk production. A mum who breastfeeds burns many more calories than one who doesn't, which means most breastfeeding mothers can lose around 0.5 kg / 1 pound a month, simply because of the energy demands milk production.

Before you start consciously losing weight after pregnancy, wait until at least six weeks after your baby is born. Limiting what you eat in the early weeks of lactation may reduce your milk supply.

If you're reading this, it's safe to assume you want to lose weight after pregnancy. I bet you're looking for some quick "to do’s" and a diet to "go on," which so many women see as essential to successful weight loss after pregnancy. I have some news – those aren't the real things that you need to know.

Why? Most women have already spent an average of 20 years "dieting," so another safe assumption is that you know a lot about what you should be doing. So let's focus on some helpful tips on what NOT to do. Apply this list of things NOT to do to your life, and spare yourself the pain and challenges that derail most dieters.

1. Have a negative defeatist attitude. If you think there is no way that you are going to succeed this time, lose the weight and keep it off after having a baby, then you're right!

2. Go on a diet that is NOT a way of eating that you can use for the rest of your life. Be careful when deciding what nutritional plan you want to follow, as it should be a way of eating that matches your way of life, tastes and budget.

3. Believe that you can eat cabbage soup — or any other shakes or low-cal, monotonous dross everyday for months. It isn't realistic to think you will eat that way for the entire time it takes to lose the weight after pregnancy. It certainly won't teach you much about how to live healthily for the rest of your life either.

4. Weigh yourself frequently, letting the scales govern your mood and actions. Pack the scales away, put a big red bow around them, and then unwrap them after "12 Weeks To Success".  Then they might actually show you something you want to see!

5. Don't drink enough water. Water really is all that you need to drink right now, and you MUST drink 2-3 litres of it a day!

6. Drink sugar-laden, "diet" drinks or "fruit" drinks. Just try putting your favorite non-water beverage in your pet's bowl, and see if they will drink it!

8. Don't have a plan. "We never plan to fail, we fail to plan." Get a plan and stick with it, but make sure each step is realistic and that every change is gradual.

9. Don't be aware of the nutritional benefits or disbenefits of what you consume. Lettuce is a reasonable choice, but spinach and other darker leaves have more nutritional benefits.

10. Finish every last bite of a meal, even after you are full. Mum was wrong on this one, especially if she was brought up during rationing after the war!  Don't feel you have to clean your plate at the table, let the dishwasher or person washing the dishes do that!

And don't keep free range chickens. They will love your left-overs and also produce healthy organic free range eggs too!
