Body After Baby - Losing Weight Post Pregnancy

Swati is originally from Moradabad, UP and used to work in the IT Industry in Bangalore. She shares her experience of losing 25 kgs of weight post her second delivery. 

She has a daughter who is 5 years old and a son of 2 years. After her first delivery, she could only lose 6-7 kgs of weight because that time she was working and could not balance her work, exercise and diet. She loves to eat biscuits, chocolates, cakes and all the junk food one can think of. 

However, as she wanted to lose weight after her second delivery, through one of her friends, she came to know about the Wellness Quotient community. Eventually, she became a part of it and got to know about the holistic approach of nutrition, combined with exercise and sleep and handling stress factor in life. 

Using this approach, she could eke out a structured exercise program for herself, monitor her unstructured activities, control her diet and drastically reduce junk food consumption because she understood that those were the empty calories that is harming her body immensely.

Over a period of 3-4 months, her friends started noticing that she was losing weight, as by that time she had already lost around 10 kgs. She continued on her journey of doing the right things such as controlling her diet, working out, monitoring her steps, sleeping around 6-7 hours every night and eventually, over a period of 10-12 months, she could reduce around 25 kgs!

She recalls that earlier also, she was able to lose some weight, but that used to get reversed shortly after. But this time, because of the holistic approach she had taken, even after 2 years, she is able to maintain her weight. She credits the Wellness Quotient community for her victory.
