1. Physical activity. The main thing here is to choose the right workout, you should not train to exhaustion, you need to choose the right exercises. In addition, you need to do this regularly.

For example, you can start running in the morning. A half-hour run, repeated every morning, is enough.

If running is too hard, you can walk, but a little longer. By the way, an interesting option for mothers would be a walk with a stroller. Such marathons help to lose extra pounds very quickly and painlessly for health.

Another effective exercise is stretching. It will help prepare the mother's body for heavy loads. It will not harm the nursing woman, as it will not affect the lactation process.

2. Food that contains a lot of protein. Everyone knows that it is the building material for muscles. Which is very important during this period. In addition, such food is digested longer, which means you will stay full longer. The main source of protein is dairy products. And also white meat, fish and chicken eggs.

3. More water. Scientists have proven that regular water consumption (about one liter per day) has a positive effect on overall health. This simple habit will also help you lose a few kilograms.

4. Avoid alcohol. It is alcohol that causes fat to appear in the waist area. In addition, nursing mothers are not recommended to drink alcohol, because everything they eat or drink is passed on to the baby.

5. Limit the consumption of salty and sweet foods. Sugar causes fat to appear, and salt retains fluid, which leads to swelling. Therefore, you should immediately reduce the amount of sweets to a minimum.

6. Avoid processed foods and fast foods. They contain a huge amount of fat, salt and preservatives, which are the main enemies of your figure.

To sum it up, it is possible to get back into shape after the baby is born. It is important to be patient and not give up. After all, the process can take a long time.
