Q. My wife has gained weight post pregnancy. How to reduce it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Firstly, you should do proper diagnosis of your wife. This problem may be due to stress, hyperthyroid and vitamin D deficiency.

• Proper diet with exercise help your wife to make her body reshape if the above tests are normal.

• You did not mention the type of delivery. Is it normal or cesarean. If it was a cesarean, then avoid heavy exercises.

• I give her a diet chart and alternate foods are also mentioned. Please ask her to follow the diet for a month.

1. Early morning - 1 glass of plain water or sattu water or green tea without sugar and biscuit.
2. Breakfast - Sago porridge 1 bowl or brown bread and egg white one or vegetable soup 1 bowl.
3. Mid morning - 1 apple or orange.
4. Lunch - 1 glass of water and salad half plate or a cup of rice with vegetable curry or fish or chicken or egg one piece or dal water 1 bowl and sour curd. 
5. Evening - vegetable stew and green tea 
6. Dinner - 2 glasses of water and spinach roti or rice 1 cup with vegetable curry.

• My advise is to take two glasses of water before lunch and dinner. Do light exercise or yoga or morning walk or brisk water for 30 minutes.

• Please avoid oily foods, junk foods, spicy foods, chocolate, soft drinks and alcohol. Avoid stress as well.
