Thuy Anh said that within the first month after giving birth, she lost 11kg, with 2kg left. And in the second month, she returned to her pre-pregnancy weight of 45kg. She shared these secrets in detail and divided them into clear stages.
Weight control from pregnancy
Thuy Anh said that since she was pregnant, she ate less starch, more meat, fish, eggs, vegetables full of vitamins, and drank unsweetened milk to reduce the amount of sugar that causes weight gain. Besides, she also has a scientific diet.
"Forbidding pregnant women from eating less rice and less starch may sound a bit difficult because when pregnant I crave rice a lot, but I put a scale in my room to control my weight, and try to control my appetite for the future of mother and child. Too much starch is not good for everyone, not just pregnant women.
The ideal weight gain during pregnancy is 10 - 13kg. It is good for the mother, the baby's health and also a prerequisite for the mother to lose weight quickly after giving birth!", Thuy Anh said.

Actively breastfeeding, burning up to 500 calories/day
For Thuy Anh, she chose to breastfeed her baby for at least the first 6 months of her baby's life, for the following reasons: It increases the baby's resistance, is safe for the baby, the mother loses weight, and the mother does not have to spend money on buying formula.
Thuy Anh said that by breastfeeding regularly, a mother will burn up to 500 calories a day, and the fat she absorbs will also be passed into her milk for her baby. In addition, 15 minutes before breastfeeding, Thuy Anh drinks a glass of hot milk to increase milk production.

Reasonable diet: Low starch, low sugar, lots of green vegetables
Thuy Anh said that mothers must lose weight scientifically to ensure they still have enough milk for their babies. In addition to eating sweet potato leaves and fruits, she also drinks a lot of water, milk, and green tea.
"There is a concept that I find not quite right: eating a lot of pig's feet will produce more milk. I don't eat pig's feet, but thankfully my milk is still abundant to feed my baby. And I think that if I eat a lot of pig's feet, it will be difficult for me to lose weight with the amount of fat that pig's feet provide to the body," Thuy Anh shared.

Massage, hot salt wrap and light exercise
During the first 3 months after giving birth, Thuy Anh often steamed with traditional Chinese medicine, wiped with ginger wine, wrapped her belly with herbs, and had a relaxing massage at least twice a week.
"Steaming helps the body reduce water retention and eliminate toxins through the pores. Rubbing ginger wine helps the body warm up and tighten pores. Herbal belly wraps help firm the abdomen, remove dark spots, stretch marks, and quickly reduce belly size," Thuy Anh further explained.

"If you have the means, there are postpartum spas that can support mothers. If you don't have the means, you can do it yourself. For example, steam yourself with a pot of aromatic leaf water, cover yourself with a blanket, make a bag that can be wrapped around your belly, roast some dry salt, put it in the bag, microwave it for 30 seconds every day, and then roll it around your belly while you sleep.
I exercised early, gentle movements focusing on my abdominal muscles helped me reduce postpartum pain and make my abdominal muscles firmer. Sometimes, just lying in bed, I could relax and exercise at the same time," she added.

For those of you who do not have children but want to lose weight
In addition to sharing weight loss tips for mothers, Thuy Anh also does not forget to reveal the secret to help non-pregnant women lose weight.
"My experience is that maintaining a low-starch diet, or a diet of pre-processed starch such as vermicelli, glass noodles, pho... (things that are not rice) can help you lose weight. Recently, I gained 2 kilos, so I decided to lose weight by eating only vermicelli, glass noodles, and pho for a whole week. I was still full but my weight went down. In 1 week, I lost 1 kilo," Thuy Anh said.
