I need to get rid of the extra kilos I gained while pregnant. Help me please!

It’s normal that you will want to regain your pre-pregnancy shape and body as fast as possible after delivery, but our advice to you is not to rush yourself but to give it a minimum of 2 month break to fully recover from childbirth and establish a good milk supply. And while doing so, try to engage in these healthy habits that will steadily help you lose the extra kilos you gained while expecting:

- Breastfeed your baby (as breastfeeding will help you lose around 435 calories per day).

- Eat healthy nourishing foods, including proteins, veggies, good fats, fibres and probiotics.

- Keep yourself hydrated.

- Get adequate sleep.

- Decrease the level of your stress to lose more weight.

- Choose exercises that will help you move your body and make you feel energized.
