Hi Anna, regarding exercise it really is a matter of exercising daily and just focussing on getting fitter. As you get fitter you can work harder and burn more fat. For diet, reduce calories, try to eat a well balanced diet, eat more pulses, nuts and seeds for the proteins and do not rely too heavily on cheese and breads.

Hi,
I had a c-section 1 year back and I am still breastfeeding. Now I want to loose weight. I am a vegetarian which means no fish and eggs. I would appreciate if I can get a help on my diet and exercise program. I have gained 17kg.

Hi Raman, so good to hear from you again, and well done on losing the weight. The last bit is always the hardest bit. You need to increase your fitness even more, aim to run faster, and reassess your diet. Maybe look to cut out some more sugar, bread or other high GI foods. Bodyweight workouts will help to tone the stomach too.

Hi Tasha, how long has you been exercising an hour a day for? You probably need to review your diet again and cut out more than just sweets and soda. Also, while 60 minutes of exercise a day is good, you also need to ensure that you are pushing yourself to get fitter and not just doing the same workout each day.

I have had 3 babies including one miscarriage and am pregnant with our 4th. I found that breastfeeding helped me lose weight the fastest. I don’t appreciate the initial statements in your article that say that you have a harder time losing weight if you are breastfeeding. Women were made to breastfeed and it’s best for the baby. If they can do it they should. Don’t give women a reason to not breastfeed, please. After having 3 children I do not weight any more than I did before having children. I did find that having a second floor and basement, that I constantly was traveling stairs to get to helped keep me in shape. If you want to stay in shape and breastfeed you can do both just drink LOTS of water, TONS! Every time you go to the bathroom or enter a certain room or change the baby’s diaper or while you are sitting and nursing, get another glass. Be constantly drinking water and eating veggies. Most of the problem with afterbirth weight is that they don’t take time to eat and drink good things. Keep good stuff in the fridge for those snack cravings. You can do it. You’ll be a better wife and mom if you feel good about how you look.

Well, depends on the size of the pieces, but 2 pieces does not sound too much.

It is possible Neeharika, but you will need to exercise daily and eat healthy.

Hi Shruti, many people suffer cold hands when running in colder weather. Try gloves or mittens to start with and see if that helps.

A quick question, when I am running/jogging I start to sweat but after a while my hands get really really cold. Why does that happen?

If the diet is healthy every day, and that also means not consuming too many calories, and swimming is also every day, then yes.

Hi Shruti, great to hear, and hope you do that 5 km run!

Hi it’s Shruti!! Thanks everyone for all your posts, reading them makes me realize I’m not the only one in this boat. So I started walking and slowly jogging for the past two weeks. I had started the couch to 5k and so far it has been great. When I started I wasnt even able to jog for 30secs without being out of breath. For the first time today I jogged continuously for 5 mins without getting out of breath..it feels so great!! Hopefully I get all the way through successfully.. My goal is to be able to run a 5k this summer!! :-)

Hi, when breastfeeding is important to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables and also to consume plenty of water. Really, a normal healthy and balanced diet is perfect. Just avoid snacking on “empty calories” when hungry as both you and baby need the best nutrition you can get – so less bread and junk food, more nutritious vegetables, pulses, fruits, lean meats and other proteins.
