How to slim down after childbirth

This post is dedicated to all my readers who are keen to know how did I regain my pre-pregnancy weight and body shape. Say LOVE ME okay?

And of course, my slimming plans are not only for mummies, it’s actually for ALL who wishes to have wonderful silhouette.

I started my slimming plan after 4 months of childbirth. Reason being was my body was particularly weak and I took a lot of traditional Chinese herbs soup and consumed D.O.M. on every alternate day up to 3 months. D.O.M is strictly prohibited if you want to lose weight as it contains high level of sugar.

The fastest way to lose weight is to CONTROL YOUR DIET. There’s no shortcut!

Here you go, my NO-HUNGER DIET menu. My everyday menu throughout the slimming course was extremely boring and tasteless.

Breakfast –2 boiled eggs + 1 bowl of plain oatmeal + one small apple

It’s PLAIN oatmeal, without condensed milk or MILO. I couldn’t get use to the taste at the beginning , so I added a spoon of honey. Subsequently I ate the oatmeal by adding the Japanese seaweed seasoning and after 2 weeks, I could finally swallow the tasteless plain oatmeal.

Lunch – Meehoon soup + One dish from Menu one*

Dinner – Steamed veggie with osyster sauce + One dish from Menu one* (small portion)

Menu one* –Yong tauhu, veggie, fishballs, meatball, steamed fish, grilled chicken and etc. as long as they are steamed or stewed.

For dinner, it would be good if you could take only Steamed veggie with osyster sauce + 1 bowl of unsweetened cereal. Sometime I just took one huge portion of steamed veggie with osyster sauce and it could last the whole night.

Tips for the above diet plan is to make sure you are 70% full. If you feel hungry after a meal, you can drink unsweetened soy bean milk or cereal to fill your stomach. That’s why it’s called NO-HUNGER DIET.

RESULT?

It was amazing! I lost 1kg per week. And of course have to combine with the slimming treatments to get the optimal results. I believe good diet plan + slimming treatment or exercise will make the weight loss process faster.

This is the slimming package that I signed up.

Ultra-energy magnetic cellulite and slimming treatment.

This method encourages the natural drainage of the lymph from the tissues, and also enhanced the fat burning process.

After the treatment.

Perhaps you never heard it before but it did work well on me! After 20 sessions, I shed 6kgs in 7 weeks by strictly following the above diet plan. Don't ever think of taking deep fried food, curry or anything very oily and sweet because I could see the body fat index increased even weight maintained.

Apart from the abovementioned, I also invested in sleeping socks to reduce water retention.

Super comfy! Not sure about the results as I'm not using this alone. I also purchased some sea salt for foot spa to reduce water retention.

Sea salt purchased from pharmacy. I put half of the packet into the warm water and soaked my foot for 20 minutes twice a week.

Peppermint reviving foot soak from Body Shop. Leaving my legs smooth and silky after spa.

Sea salt with peppermint. It smells like Mentos.

If you have no time for slimming treatment and can't resist the good food, then you definitely need this

SHAPEWEAR (＾▽＾)

Pelvic changes will cause the gap to widen during pregnancy. I had severe pelvic pain during my 2nd trimester, and even after childbirth, I had problem on getting up from bed. Pain was relieved and I recovered after using bengkung and pelvic belt (as mentioned in the earlier post) during my confinement.

When I resumed work, I just couldn't wear the bengkung and pelvic belt and thus, I chose to get a girdle and a waist nipper to close the gap.

I think shapewear is a every-mama-should-have item after childbirth to shape your body and close the pelvic gap. Not only that, the shapewear also firmed my skin, reduced cellulite and lightened stretch marks (*^▽^*)

I know wearing it for the first time may not be comfortable but for the sake of health and beauty, I got used to it within few days.

I just cant accept my flabby stomach bulging out when I sit down or bend my body. I believe this is also something that is hardly to be accepted by all new mamas rite?

After slimming down, I had been considering a few brands in order to get a value-for-money shapewear. After some research and price comparison, I decided to buy Premium Beautiful shapewear, a wellknown shapewear brand amongst Malays, sold by Hai O Markeiting. Didn't not know that Hai O is doing that well in Malay market. Obviously many many Malays are wearing it and this is selling like a hot cake!

Wanna know how good is this Premium Beautiful? Check out the photos below.

Normal corset. since nude color will make my body slightly bigger, thus I have desaturated the photo for better comparison.

My Premium Beautiful shapewear (just bought it few days ago). It really gives a wonderful silhouette! Love the back design as I can always pull the string to adjust the tightness on the waist line. This is the best waist nipper honestly!!!

With Premium Beautiful shapewear on, my waist is now 23 inches. OMG! Even slimmer than the time before I got pregnant (/^▽^)/

And the price is so much cheaper compared to other brands. It's about RM2k for one set (bra, waist nipper and girdle) and it offers lifetime warranty!!!

If you are interested to get one, you can drop me a message or email me at ichigo2706@yahoo.com

I can get my friend to arrange for a free trial.
