The first one is that each woman has their own genetic weight loss potential, and to know your own potential, you can do the wrist test. These people are generally overweight, and these are the women whose weight loss fortunes are really set after pregnancy, which means some of them can gain lots of weight unless they really watch themselves and, on the other hand, they could have the most favorable outcome. In other words, they'll lose the most weight of all three groups. Factor 2 is that women should limit the amount of pregnancy weight gain and, if I could borrow a expression from Johnny Cochran, the more you gain, the more you retain. The third factor of success is that you have to learn how to deal with postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression is the most important factor in weight loss success.
Number 4 is that pregnant women must try to avoid or at least control gestational diabetes, the diabetes of pregnancy that affects approximately 150,000 women each year in this country. 5- interestingly a very important factor in regaining one's dress size is returning to work. I just want to add a historical footnote. Women are perplexed as to how much weight they should gain during pregnancy, and even if you've had a baby before and gained a lot of weight it does not mean you have to gain the same or more for the next pregnancy. And the daily ration was approximately 300 calories which is about that of a KitKat.
