Weight gain during pregnancy is a natural process, but some women may find it difficult to reduce weight after giving birth due to hormonal disturbances, stress or bad eating habits. In such a situation, it is worth seeking the help of a dietician if the aim is to improve diet and gradually lose weight, or a psychodietitian if the problem is emotional eating and lack of motivation. In addition to a proper diet, physical activity, restorative sleep and stress control are important to support the recovery process. Breastfeeding can promote weight loss, but it is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle and proper habits.
