I got c section done in june 2019. How to reduce post delivery fat and tummy?

Hello. Real-life experiences speak for themselves. Please read stories on losing weight naturally here. All these experiences are based on following a natural lifestyle, whole plant-based foods, high intake of raw foods. 

Adopting a natural lifestyle will help you meet your health goals. You can explore our Nature-Nurtures Program that helps you in making the transition, step by step. 

After C section the muscles on the abdomen becomes lax, this happens due to pressure on the abdominal wall going through stretch due to our baby and the reducing. In normal delivery gaining your abdominal strength back becomes easier than C section. Even due to stitches it becomes difficult for the abdominal muscles to stretch more.

By working on your diet and exercise it becomes easier to achieve that goal of Flat abdomen.

What kind of diet do you need to start with?

Start your day with a warm water wash and have at least 2-3 glasses of water and give your stomach a wash, the next thing you need to do is start with brisk walking for at least 45 minutes by keeping your hands at heart level. Include in your breakfast things like sprouts, vegetable juice, one fruit, and a few nuts. This will help you to increase metabolism throughout the day and give you energy.

Your lunch should be a mixture of carbohydrates with a high amount of proteins, include legumes and pulses for good protein intake. With protein, our muscle-building exercise becomes faster. Your dinner should be light and finish by 7 pm choose something like soup or legumes porridge.

Exercises which will benefit you:

1. Crunches: This helps in tightening the abdominal muscles.

2. Push-ups: Helps in toning up the upper body.

3. Leg raise: Alternate raise your legs and there will be pressure on abdominal muscles.

Follow this regime and you will see the benefits.

Thank you

I underwent a C-sec for my second child. I was obese with and without it too. The tummy and weight gain are not because of C-sec. It's because of what you ate and your overall lifestyle. You can perfectly do any exercises after 8 weeks of postpartum. The suggestions here will help your baby also grow in a healthy way. Your breast milk will be cleaner and less acidic. The child will also not have a cold, cough, fevers often if you are on a plant-based diet. I am not obese anymore because I exercised one hr daily and switch to a plant-based lifestyle.

Weight loss is a beautiful side effect after starting a healthy lifestyle by ensuring that the body has a few digestion intensive foods as possible. Typically in a wrong lifestyle we tend to carry excess weight in the form of toxins and excess fat that the body is not able to process or melt, excess rotting faecal wastes, traces of heavy metals etc. when we consume foods that satisfy our hunger but also keep the body less busy digesting, body starts doing a spring cleaning. If cleaning is done as a lifestyle then such exercises keep us healthy and if we follow it like a diet, in no time the junk is back usually with a vengeance and more severity. This is exactly why most unnatural weight loss programs] become successful after promising a 5 KG loss and people don't lose anything beyond that so they tend to make the money and also keep you dissatisfied. To lose weight consistently and also to maintain health one must understand how the body works and also maintain the lifestyle and not a diet.

You can start by eating healthy, juicing a lot. Once your digestion and assimilation become efficient, your body will start shedding the excess.

Losing or gaining healthy weight happens when your body and mainly your gut is in a good shape to absorb nutrients or shed the excess. The solution is the same for both cases. Whatever is the imbalance the body decides and fixes it. High raw whole food plant-based meal is your solution. Good sleep, exposure to the sun, exercises that help you gain healthy muscles.

Fats don’t come because you have nuts or avocado or coconut. Unless your body is ready to act on the food you eat, no food will help.

The more the body gets digestive rest from cooked and other wrong foods, it will heal u off your problems and then build your muscles after u work towards it with weights. You have to work on shedding fat and strengthening the muscles. There are no short cuts

• Start drinking only fruit and veg cold-pressed juices for 10 days. Nothing else. 3-4 liters a day.

• After 10 days eating just a stomach full of fruits and greens and occasional vegetables for the rest of the month and nothing else.

• Workout in the gym for 1 hr daily / do 24 Surya Namaskar daily with regular breathIng.

You will lose the toxins that have clogged the body. To continue a healthy diet and not gain back after that, the following is a lifestyle you can follow this.

Follow this:-

Morning on an empty stomach

• Celery juice 500 ml filtered / ash gourd juice/cucumber juice/ Green juice with any watery vegetables like ash gourd /cucumber/ridge gourd/bottle gourd/carrot/ beet with ginger and lime filtered/ tender coconut water or more pure veggie juice. 

Afternoon from 12:-

• A bowl of fruits - don’t mix melons and other fruits. Eat melons alone. Eat citrus fruits alone

• Followed by a bowl of veg salad.

• Dinner 2-3 hrs before sleep, with Gluten-free, oil-free unpolished grains or dals 30% and 70% veggies. This is optional and you can replace this with raw again and that’s best for you.

• Please take enema for 30 days with Luke warm water and then slowly reduce the freq. this is not a substitute for a daily nature call. Consult an expert as needed

• Include some exercises that involve moving all your parts (neck, shoulder, elbows, wrist, hip bending twisting, squats, knees, ankles ) along with the 1 hr of workout. Focus on weight training.

• See if u can go to the morning sun for at least 30mins in a day.

• Ensure that you are asleep between 10 pm-2 pm which is when the body needs deep sleep.

What to Avoid:-

• Avoid refined oils, fried food, packaged ready to eat foods, dairy in any form including ghee, refined salt, and sugar, gluten, refined oils, meat, eggs, fish, coffee, tea, alcohol, and oils in any form.

• Avoid mental stress by not thinking about things you cannot control. The present is inevitable. The future can be planned. Stay happy, happiness is only inside yourself.

Now simply you do some walking and simple exercises without disturbing your abdomen.
These things you may take now strictly after consulting with your personal doctor /qualified naturopathy doctor only since your other health conditions are not known. 

• Steam bath/sauna bath weekly once.
