Is it necessary? The actress just two months ago gave birth to her third child and is already upset that the naturally gained kilograms during pregnancy do not go away. Woman’s Day found out from a nutritionist how long, on average, after childbirth, weight should go away.
Maria Kozhevnikova every now and then encourages more than 2 million of her followers on Instagram to monitor their health – both physical and mental. In early September, she advised her followers to contact child psychologists at different stages of the child’s growing up, and at the end of the month she drew attention to the problems of the mothers themselves. Especially those who have recently become them and are now worried about the excess weight gained during pregnancy.
“Thank you for your support and words that I am beautiful and in this weight. But it’s not about the opinions of others, excuse me, but all the same, in my personal well-being, and, to be very honest, in the wardrobe, ”Maria Kozhvenikova honestly wrote in her microblog. – I really want to get into my little things and experience ease in movement. Only now I realized how hard it is for fat people, what discomfort little things bring, which I had never thought about before. I am already silent about the load on the legs, and on the body as a whole. For my part, I want to support everyone who is now struggling with weight, which means they are fighting for their health! You are not alone, I am with you, and we can handle it! “
The actress’s desire to be slim and fit is understandable, but isn’t it too early to worry about being overweight, given that she gave birth to her third child only on July 20? On the other hand, the same beauties like her (for example, supermodel Irina Shayk and the wife of rapper Dzhigan Oksana Samoilova) show off a perfectly flat belly after a few weeks, or even days after the birth of the baby. Woman’s Day found out from a nutritionist what weight loss after childbirth is considered normal.
– It’s all about whether the woman was lucky with muscle tone. A lot depends on the constitution of a person, – explained to our website chief nutritionist of one of the Moscow weight loss centers, member of the Association of Dietitians of Canada Natalya Nefedova… – If the muscle tone is high, then, roughly speaking, it is very easy to look decent after childbirth. If a woman did not have enough physical exertion before giving birth, and the childbirth itself was difficult and the baby was born rather large, then a lot of stretch marks appear on the abdomen, respectively.
However, our expert assures that it is simply impossible to get back in shape two months after giving birth. In a natural process, this should take about two years.
– Two years is a normal period for the recovery of the body, which includes both the restoration of muscle tone in the abdominal cavity, and a decrease in weight gain, – the doctor explains… – From physical exercises for this time, I recommend basic yoga and Pilates. In the diet, I advise you to exclude excess and especially hidden sugar. It is not useful for breastfeeding especially. You also need to give up food additives. But these are reasonable limits, which, in general, should be followed by any person who cares about their health. It is worth consuming fiber more.
How much weight gain during pregnancy is considered normal?
– 12-14 kilograms, – Natalya Nefedova gives statistics. – Everything else is considered an increased increase. However, based on my experience, I very rarely met women who met this norm. Basically, everyone added 20 kilograms. Even at 25. But this is taking into account not only fat mass, but also edema.
