Diet and Exercise Helps Reduce Weight After Pregnancy
July 19, 2007 at 11:40 AM
Women Health News
Women naturally gain weight during pregnancy and many gradually lose it afterwards, but some women find it difficult to lose this additional weight. This retained body weight may be one factor that contributes to obesity among women. Many women are keen to find ways of returning to, and maintaining, pre-pregnant weights, and there is plenty of competing advice on offer.
By studying data from six different trials that involved a total of 245 women, a group of Cochrane Researchers found that women who did exercise did not lose significantly more than women who have a standard post-natal lifestyle. However, women who combined exercise and dieting did lose more weight than those with normal care.
Returning to body weight gradually after giving birth seems to be important, because women who regain their pre-pregnancy weight within six months have a lower risk of being overweight ten years later.
As well as helping reduce body weight, exercise has the added advantage of improving the womens cardiovascular fitness and preserves fat-free mass dieting alone reduces fat-free mass, says Amanda Amorim, an epidemiologist working in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I had a baby about 9 months ago and right now im in really good shape. All thanks to constant work out and a healthy diet! Not only that, i've been using these Lytess slimming leggings from fitandsharp. They have some active ingredients that have helped me fit into my favourite outfits and at the same time, to lose additional inches from my hips and thighs! its been 3 months and I feel more confident and motivated than ever! To all moms out there trying to lose all the baby weight,I highly recommend it! =) |
