What to keep in mind?
To ensure steady weight loss, support exercise with a proper and healthy meal, Dr Sushma Pachouri, nutrition and fitness – Advance Plus Coach, Fittr told .
“Protein is an essential macronutrient; its role is to help the body build lean muscles. This is why, doctors often recommend having protein for body recovery even after childbirth. Also, protein helps to keep you satiated for a longer duration and, hence, regulates your appetite. One can constitute a protein element in every meal of the day to ensure that your daily intake is monitored. One should consume more than the bare minimum recommended daily intake, which is 1.2 gm/kg,” said Dr Pachouri.
But, before starting, it is essential to note that one must not push themselves too hard to lose weight, Shivani Sikri, chief nutrition, Nutri4Verve, said in an earlier interaction with . “Even if you were in good shape before and during your pregnancy, you shouldn’t push too hard, mainly because your joints are more elastic for several months following delivery due to a hormone called relaxin that’s released during pregnancy.”
