Hi there, I hope you are well. Congratulations 🎉 welcome to motherhood. -Firstly, as a nutrition expert I'd suggest you to go slow, and focus on consuming a well balanced diet as you are breastfeeding. Breastfeeding can also help in burning some calories :) - Start by including enough protein, fibre, and good fats in the diet as your calorie requirements have increased by 600kcals. Add protein rich foods to every meal.You can include dairy and dairy products, lean meat, eggs, seeds, beans to the diet. - Ensure to add enough fruits, vegetables, wholegrains to the diet to avoid constipation related issues. - Nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil can give you omega 3 fatty acids which can help with satiety and gradually weight loss. - Try to get as much as rest as possible. - Keep moving, even if it is walking at home for 10-15 mins after every meal - Avoid excessive consumption of sugar, jaggery, ghee, and nuts ( minimal is best). - Keep yourself hydrated. Take care ✨

Managing weight loss while breastfeeding requires a balanced approach to ensure both you and your baby are healthy. Focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods, staying hydrated, and eating enough calories to support milk production. Aim for gradual weight loss of about 1-2 pounds per week to avoid affecting your milk supply. Incorporate regular physical activity, such as walking or postpartum exercises, but be mindful not to overdo it. Consult with a healthcare professional or a dietitian who specializes in postpartum nutrition for personalized guidance.

It's okay to feel pressure, but don't let it affect you. Follow self-care practices and limit your use of social media because, as you know, not everything online is the same

I have gone through it, we often take social media seriously. But dear let me tell you it's all illusion. You are beautiful in your own way. You must try to be better version of yourself instead of trying to compete with others.

Identify your emotions and situations which leads you to unhealthy eating pattern and try to incorporate healthy alternative there. That's it! Then you are good to go girl.

NutritionistHudaShaikh・17d

Hi there, I hope you are well. If you struggle from emotional eating, during stressful times, then, here's what you can do. - Maintain a journal and jot down which food you are likely to crave during those times, whether it is salty, sugary, spicy, fried, etc. - Write the foods you are most likely to reach out to in case of a stressful situation. - Ask yourself as to whether you are hungry or trying to eat because you are stressed. - Learn to differentiate between physical hunger and emotional hunger. - Try to distract yourself by talking to a friend, listening to music, indulging in a hobby, some exercise, dancing, etc. - Avoid stocking unhealthy foods at home, and if you are likely to order online, then, delete foods apps completely. - Honour your cravings once a while, so that you don't end up Overeating whenever you are emotionally down. - Try to eat healthier alternatives of your favourite foods. - Opt for meditation or yoga as and when you feel emotionally stressed or drained :)

If you focus on social media then you won't be able to do justice to yourself. There are so many people out their giving different standards regarding every phase of life. You can't compete with everyone. Set your own goals and try to accomplish them.

fitwithchitraa・21d

So since you are comparing yourself with the people in media also compare the kind of team of experts they have access to , the time they devote to this and why they do it is they make the crores or lacs out of it hence comparison is a bad space to begin with hence drop it totally, having said that it’s good love yourself and get fit for yourself and to have realistic goals that you can achieve like 2 kg per month of weight loss by eating healthy and exercising, enough and timely rest and obsessing is a rajsik man ki sthiti , the mind state here is the key , remember sculpting any body into what you like it be is a process and the good part is you started and you l reach keep at it balance is the key to progress!!!! When you start a drive u don’t obsess over when will you reach you know you will u enjoy the journey too na same with fitness enjoy the journey and trust the process , ♥️Chittrah Kanal

My school classmates forced me to send my pictures on our group chat as we had not seen each other since long, but when I did post them, they started telling me how much I have changed and how much weight I have gained. This has made me feel terrible about myself but I don’t want it to effect me. What do I do??

Ofcourse you must have gained weight since you met them last,and I am assuming it was many years back. If you were conscious about yourself, you would not have send the pics, the fact is rhat you are not liking their opinions about yourself. Have that clarity, and don't let others opinions affect you negatively....be confident as what you are.

Anonymous・20d

don't be afraid of judgements or criticism from others but be mindful that you don't do the same to yourself... be your best friend 😍❤️ Appreciate yourself often . shower yourself with unconditional love then what others say won't have an negative effect on you...and you have your power back

Hii dear, firstly Identifying the root cause of your binge eating is crucial. Once you understand why you turn to food, you can begin addressing those underlying issues. Setting boundaries around your eating habits can help prevent impulsive behavior. Practicing mindfulness while eating encourages awareness of your body's hunger and fullness cues, promoting healthier eating habits.

Seemachaudhary・20d

Firstly, Practice mindful eating, identify triggers, seek support from a therapist or support group, and focus on balanced meals and regular eating patterns.

hey Anonymous. one needs to be physically fit, not to please anyone but for urself. Being overweight should not be the reason for your insecurities . You need to accept yourself first only then others will accept you if you feel you are loosing urself trying to fit in... ask yourself what is it that you are doing that's creating discomfort within you ... identify and work on it.. good luck 👍

Hi there, I hope you are well. - Motivation will usually last for a few days or weeks, however, discipline can last forever. - To lose weight, you will have to bring in discipline in your daily routine. - You need to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically. - Stay determined that you won't give up and start by making small changes in your routine. - Start by incorporating more fibre in the diet. Eat two servings of fruits, a bowl of salad for lunch as well as dinner daily. - Avoid packaged, ultra-processed and refined foods. - Eat in portions. - Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. - Add protein to each of your meals, even snacks. - Have mid-meals or healthy snacks. - Start your morning with handful nuts, or seeds. - Keep a tab on your salt, sugar, and oil intake. - Have home-made meals that are easier to digest. - Get at least 7-8hrs of sleep on a regular basis. - Go for a walk at least 4 times a week. - Manage stress levels my meditation and yoga. I hope this helps ✨
