Patient's question:
Just had a baby for a few weeks, wondering about the best time to lose weight after childbirth? Don't want your figure to change after having a child in the first half of your life.Doctor's answer:
After having a child for more than a week, you might want to start dieting. It's still early, so if you go on an extreme diet, there are two main risks: first, it can lead to a decrease in breast milk production, and second, it can hinder the complete recovery of the endometrium, which may affect future pregnancies. Actually, body shape changes are more related to lifestyle habits. You can wait until after the postpartum period to make adjustments. The main focus should be on dietary habits, lifestyle, and physical activity, which can influence the intake of plant and animal proteins, but they cannot control the consumption of greasy foods.
