Ten coups to restore a new figure

After labour every new Mummy wishes they could quickly revert to their previous graceful figure. But this wish was not always easy to implement. What should we do? The following 10 diet rules will help new mummies quickly fulfill their dreams.

1. Drink two cups of milk. Milk contents only 3% fat and easily creates satiety. It enables the body to get adequate protein, calcium and a large quantity of vitamin B, A and other nutrients without getting fat. Skim milk is a better choice, because skim milk and whole milk have same protein in reserves but less fat.

2. If the baby is not breastfeeding, you can go back to your pre-pregnancy diet. Thus, your body can generate enough energy but not getting extra calorie.

3. Eat 250g dark green vegetables daily. Dark green vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, carotene, vitamin C, calcium, iron and other nutrients, such as kale, broccoli, pea sprouts, cabbage, spinach and so on. It is better to eat these foods first during each meal. This can increase the energy consumption.

4. Eat staple food 150g daily. Do not eat staple food, of course, can consume the body fat, but it will produce excessive metabolic waste, which is bad for your health. Best staple foods are whole grains such as oats, corn, millet, sweet potatoes, beans and so on. These coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber and B vitamins, with which new mommies won’t easily get the post-natal hunger.

5. Eating lots of fruit to satisfy their appetite is wrong. Fruits usually content 8% sugar, some even up to 20%. Bananas are high in carbohydrate. Therefore, the amount of fruit consumption per day must also be paid attention. 300 grams or less (peeled and seeded) is ideal. Don’t have more than two bananas a day.

6. Eat right fruit at right time to control calorie intake. Best not to eat fruit after the meal. The correct way is to eat fruit before a meal. By this way, you won’t feel too hungry during the dinner. Thus, you won’t eat too much, and help control weight.

7. Chewing more before swallowing food. Nutrition experts believe that chewing 300 times, when people began to postpartum satiety, help control food intake.

8. Eat more fresh fruit, drink less fruity drinks. Eating can give more satisfaction feeling than drinking, and fruity drinks usually contents more sugar. To remind you, that when you have fruit salad, better avoid salad dressing and added sugar. If there is fresh fruit, try not to eat dried fruit. Calorie-density rises after drying up.

9. Eat only natural foods other than synthetic food. Because synthetic foods are often added too much artificial coloring and chemical additives, not only pollute the breast milk and has not much nutrition, but also increase the burden on liver and kidney. For example, fresh potatoes are much healthier than French fries.

10. Choose nutritious, controllable food, such as multi-select low-fat and low-protein foods, soy, milk, chicken, fish, etc.; multiple-choice of fresh vegetables, seaweeds. If they are the same type of food, should choose low fat, low calorie varieties, such as the chicken can be used to substitute pork.
