Most women experience some changes in their body shape during pregnancy, becoming increasingly overweight. This can be very frustrating for some beauty conscious women, who hope that their body shape can return to its pre pregnancy state after giving birth. However, some women cannot recover their body shape after giving birth and wonder why they can't lose weight after giving birth?
During the process of giving birth, women consume a lot of physical energy and lose a lot of qi and blood. Therefore, after giving birth, their bodies are very weak and need to be adjusted during confinement. During confinement, women's activity decreases, and the accumulated fat in their bodies cannot be consumed. The more fat accumulates, the more weight women will gain after giving birth.
In addition, hormone levels in women's bodies are disrupted during pregnancy, and it takes some time for hormone levels to return to normal after childbirth. This is because the dysfunction of the hypothalamus can cause the body to gain a large amount of fat, resulting in an increase in postpartum weight instead of a decrease. However, as long as hormone levels return to normal, weight loss can be gradually achieved.
For the sake of their children's health, many women choose to breastfeed their children. To ensure sufficient breast milk, it is necessary to consume a large amount of nutrients such as pig trotters and pork ribs. Due to long-term intake of excessive calories into the body, the calories cannot be completely consumed, and the excess calories will be converted into fat and stored in the body, resulting in women being unable to successfully lose weight after childbirth.
