Important Health Notice

Post-pregnancy weight loss should be gradual. Always consult your gynecologist before starting any diet or workout, especially if you had a C-section or complications.

Understanding Post-Pregnancy Weight Loss

Pregnancy brings natural weight gain, and it’s important to give the body time to recover. Hormonal changes, lack of sleep, and stress can slow down fat loss. A structured, nourishing plan ensures recovery while gradually reducing weight.

Our approach focuses on nutrient-rich Indian meals, lactation-friendly foods, and lifestyle tips that fit into a new mom’s busy routine.
