Hi Guys,
Today I am sharing a Post Pregnancy or Nursing Mothers Weight Loss Diet Plan.
A lot of viewers have been asking for the same, so here it is.
Start your day with Cardamom water. It is one of the safest and one of the best,
belly fat cutter drinks from my channel.
The only ingredient we need to make this drink is Cardamom Pods.
Cardamom or Elaichi, is an aromatic spice, with loads of healthy essential oils.
Cardamom is diuretic in nature and helps flush out extra water through urine.
It has melatonin which speeds up the fat-burning process in the body. Cardamom can help you
attain a flat belly as it helps get rid of fat accumulation in the abdominal region.
Take 2 Cardamoms and crush them using a mortar and pestle.
If you don’t have cardamom pods, then use 1/2 tsp of Cardamom Powder.
Then take a cup and shift both, the peel and the seeds.
Next, fill the cup with warm or room temperature water.
Cover with a lid and let it rest overnight. Next morning, drink the water and chew along
the cardamom peel as well as the seeds. This drink looks absolutely simple,
but tastes very refreshing and works wonders so do not underestimate the power of it.
For breakfast, have a portion of chia pudding with fresh fruits
or 2-3 eggs, either boiled or in the form of an omelette.
Chia seeds are nutritious, and they are safe to consume while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Chia seeds can boost your breast milk supply naturally and is a great source
of calcium, fiber, fatty acids, and more. Eggs are a postpartum woman's, superfood!
They are affordable, protein-rich and deeply satiating to a depleted body. Don't forget to
have Egg yolks as they contain vitamins A, D, E, and K, folate, B12, choline, and omega-3 fats.
Mid-morning, have 3 dates and a handful of nuts like almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, etc.
Dates help restore energy after the childbirth process.
They also facilitate the production of breast milk and smooth, bowel movements.
Nuts are a healthy and wholesome snack that can be eaten in between meals. They
are packed with healthy fats, antioxidants, protein, iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamins.
For Lunch, have weight loss porridge from my channel along with a cup of green tea.
This porridge or khichdi is like a one-pot meal, it has everything starting from carbs to protein,
to calcium to vitamins as well as minerals. This porridge is highly nutritious
and safe for all including PCOS, PCOD, Thyroid, Diabetics, Pregnant as well as Nursing Mothers.
To make this porridge, we need Broken wheat,
Brown Rice Split Green lentils
And Pearl millet in equal quantities. + 2 seeds, carom & sesame
Take all these in equal quantities, for example, 100 grams each.
Then add 10 grams of White or Black Sesame Seeds
or Til and 4 gms i.e about 1 Tsp of Carom seeds also known as Ajwain.
Now mix all well and our Weight Loss Porridge mix is ready.
You can store it in an airtight container. They’ll stay good for a very long time.
Now let’s make the porridge. Take 50 grams of this mix in a
container. Pressure or slow cooker works best for this recipe as these grains take time to
cook. Well, if you don't have a cooker, then you can always make it in a pan too,
it would just take a little longer to cook. I Washed the mix thoroughly to make it free
from any contaminations and recommend the same to you too.
Next add 400 grams of water and add salt as per taste,
close the lid and let it cook for 15-20 minutes or until it's done.
Ready...
Alternate to this porridge is Oats Flatbread with any Green Vegetable Recipe.
The 1st ingredient we need is a no-brainer - Oats.
I have taken rolled oats, however, you can also choose quick oats or steel-cut oats.
If you are gluten intolerant or have thyroid, then opt for gluten-free oats.
I have taken 1 cup or approximately 115 gms of oats.
Shift the oats to a grinder and make a fine powder. Grind till you have this texture.
Another easy option is to buy oat flour and use it.
I’ll link it below in the description box in case you wish to buy.
Oats do not have taste of their own so to add some flavour and nutrients,
I have taken half an onion, 1 green chilli - mine is hot Thai chili, so 1 is enough,
2 garlic cloves, if you are not a garlic person then you can always reduce it to 1
and 3-4 tbsps of chopped bell peppers, I am using red, you may use any color.
Feel free to add veggies and herbs of your choice, like cilantro, mint leaves,
green onions, carrots etc. Cilantro goes well in this recipe however I couldn't find the fresh
ones in the stores, so had to skip it. Now finely chop all these veggies.
Look how fine and evenly these veggies are chopped.
Now shift the oat flour to a mixing bowl along with the chopped veggies.
Next, I am adding 1/2 tsp of Carom seeds or Ajwain.
Next is 1/2 tsp of Cumin Powder.
And in the end, add Salt to taste. I am adding Himalayan Pink Salt.
Mix all using a spoon or a spatula.
Now we will make the liquid dough.
For this, take 1 1/2 cups of water. Initially add 1 cup of water
to the bowl and mix well. Then leave the batter for 10 mins.
After 10 mins, the batter will thicken a bit because of Oats.
Adjust the seasoning and add some more water if needed and mix.
The consistency of our liquid dough should be like this.
Now heat a non-stick pan. Once the pan is hot,
add a ladle full of liquid dough. Spread evenly like a pancake.
Next, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 1 and 1/2 mins.
Remove the lid and you’ll see that it is leaving the sides.
Now give a flip to the flatbread. Now cook for a minute.
Press with a spatula in intervals to ensure uniform cooking,
Flip once again and cook for 20-30 seconds, and our weight loss Liquid Dough Oats Roti is ready.
In the evening, have a savory snack made with either Chickpeas or Lotus Seeds.
Some foods, like the chickpeas, can help in increasing breast milk production. Chickpeas
are also extremely nutritious as they are rich in iron, fibre, vitamins and other nutrients.
Lotus seeds on the other hand, can help boost immunity, and relieve depression, stress &
anxiety. They are high in protein and have a low glycemic index and will help you feel full.
Video links to both these recipes can be found in the description box.
For dinner, have either a glass of smoothie or a bowl of soup.
I have lots of smoothie recipes in my channel like, Oats Smoothie,
Fig Smoothie, Green Peas Smoothie etc.
Also, my channel has few soup recipes like Lentil Beet Soup,
Sweet Potato Soup, Tomato Pepper Soup etc. Feel free to have any of these. I
have listed the video links in the description box for your reference.
Have at least 2 cups of Green Tea and at least 2 different types of fresh seasonal fruits everyday.
I also recommend including Calcium, Vitamin D and Iron tablets in your diet.
For more do’s and don’ts or options,
refer to my previous Post-Pregnancy Diet Plan. I think it can be of great help.
This diet plan will not only help with weight loss
but also keep you healthy and energetic throughout the day.
So do try this diet plan for 2 weeks and share your results. You can also follow me on Insta
and FB and I will see you soon with a new video, till then, remember,
you never know the power of your body,
until you have a baby.
Bye
