BREASTFEEDING & WEIGHTLOSS FACTS

𝐃𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠?

When a baby is born, it takes a lot to adjust to lifestyle changes. Once your body is recovered it shouldn't stop you from pursuing your fitness goals! As a breastfeeding mother, you will enjoy many benefits of workout like losing pregnancy weight and gaining physical strength and mental well-being.

Regular exercise when paired with a healthy balanced diet can help you lose fat and reduce stress without lowering your milk supply. Losing weight while breastfeeding is safe as long as you maintain a nutritious and balanced diet.

Few points to consider when you plan to get into a fitness routine:

1. Avoid losing weight drastically by following any crash or fad diet. A diet rich in calories and nutrients will surely help you lose weight healthily.

2. Start with a walk along with your kid. It will help you get some fresh air and release a hormone called serotonin, promoting positive feelings and reducing stress. Fresh air is good for both mother and baby.

3. Remember you need to consume 350-400 calories extra above your daily calories for your baby.

4. Drink lots of water. Hydration is very important for a breastfeeding mother. Drink water before, during, and after workouts.

5. Consider getting a supportive, high-impact bra, and do not forget to take it off once the workout is done to avoid discomfort.

6. Try pumping or breastfeeding before a workout so that it is comfortable while workout.

7. Progressing gradually is the key. Listen to your body and stop when needed.

Healthy mothers = Healthy babies. So go for it!!!

Motherhood, Career & Me: The Moment I Chose Myself

Image
  Motherhood, Career & Me: The Moment I Chose Myself She looked at the clock—11:45 PM. The house was finally silent. The kids were asleep, emails were answered, and tomorrow’s to-do list had already started forming in her mind. She sat down for a moment, scrolling through old pictures on her phone. A selfie from years ago popped up—smiling, radiant, full of life. A woman she barely recognized now. Somewhere between back-to-back meetings, school pickups, late-night presentations, and making sure everyone else was okay… she had forgotten about herself. She wanted to work out, but there was always something "more important." She wanted to read a book, but exhaustion won every time. She wanted to dress up and feel beautiful, but when was the last time she even bought something for herself? And the worst part? The guilt. The guilt of wanting time for herself. The guilt of spending an hour at the salon instead of finishing that work report. The guilt of choosing a solo coff...

WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE

WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE When I first read this sentence from Mahatria's cover page ( my guru) it took me 5 years back when life gave me a chance to quit my dream job or take a plunge and be an entrepreneur and start my own consulting company. It was the toughest decision of my life. The feeling of insecurity, self-doubt, anxiousness, anxiety, and fear of failure lingered around me for months. I just took a leap of faith and revisiting those years I feel so blessed to have made that decision. Life gives us several such chances to think, accept and act and based on that we have three kinds of people: 1. Thinker: Who thinks, find possible excuses to convince he/she can't do it and give up even without trying. 2. Give up Think and start the journey and leave halfway. 3. Succeed: One who thinks accepts and takes necessary steps to succeed learning from failures. Life always gives you a second chance what you do with it, is what defines your journey. Just remember "It's NEVE...
