When Can I Start Losing Weight After Having a Baby? {S5E3}

23 min • 29 september 2021

In today's episode I'm discussing postnatal weight loss. This is a difficult topic because there's such an enormous pressure from society to 'snap back' or fit into your pre-pregnancy jeans soon after giving birth. But that's so unrealistic! And also - so unnecessary, at least for a few months after giving birth. Because your body has done a wonderful thing by growing, birthing and feeding your baby.

So in this episode I'm covering:

  • Why out body looks different after we've given birth

  • When to expect weight loss to happen 'naturally'

  • How to make a start with improving body image with food

  • Other factors that affect weight loss

By the end of this episode I hope you'll understand how amazing your body is, and what might be affecting your ability to lose weight. And you'll have some practical steps to take to make a start on feeling happy in your skin and getting healthy again.
