Tip-4: Recheck the Food- portion you eat before & after the Pregnancy

There may be another reason for the increment in your weight that you have been eating a similar portion of food that you have eaten in your pregnancy months. So, in this way, you are eating more than your body’s requirements. However, you can track your food-portion by your plate size. So, keep your meals to one plate and make sure to eat it slowly.

Tip-5: Starvation may avoid your sedentary life

One of the healthy ways to lose your body weight after pregnancy is to reduce the amount of time you generally spend in sedentary activities. However, it may be the hardest change for you.
