Doctors’ responses
Regular exercise. Increase protein rich diet. Moringa, soyabean, pulses, banana, Dryfruits, milk etc
They can help you determine the underlying cause of your weight loss and ensure that any weight gain plan doesn’t negatively impact your milk supply or your baby’s health.
Here are some general tips and considerations for a lactating mother who is a vegetarian and wants to gain weight:
Nutrient-Dense Foods
Focus on incorporating calorie-dense, nutrient-rich foods into your diet. Some examples include:
Healthy Fats: Avocado, nuts (almonds, walnuts), seeds (chia, flax), and nut butters are great sources of healthy fats and calories.
Protein: Lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, paneer, and dairy products like milk and yogurt are good sources of protein, which is essential for building muscle mass. Complex Carbohydrates: Sweet potatoes, brown rice, whole-wheat bread, and oats provide sustained energy and calories. Fruits and Vegetables: While they are generally lower in calories, they are packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Incorporate them into your meals and snacks.
Eating Patterns
Eat Frequently: Instead of three large meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals and snacks throughout the day. This can help you increase your overall calorie intake without feeling overly full. Snack Smart: Have healthy snacks on hand, such as a handful of nuts, a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder (if approved by your doctor), or a yogurt parfait with granola and fruit.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as this is crucial for milk production. You can also include milkshakes and smoothies to add extra calories.
Ayurvedic Perspective In Ayurveda, weight gain is often linked to a balanced ‘Agni’ (digestive fire) and nourishing ‘Dhatus’ (body tissues). Here are some general principles that
Warm, Nourishing Foods: Focus on warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods. Soups, stews, and porridges are often recommended.
Healthy Fats: Ghee (clarified butter) is highly valued in Ayurveda for its nourishing properties. Incorporate a teaspoon or two into your meals.
Spices: Use digestive spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel to improve your ‘Agni’ and help with nutrient absorption.
Herbs: specific herbs like Ashwagandha or Shatavari, but these should only be taken under in limit especially while you are lactating.
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues. Don’t force yourself to eat if you’re not hungry.
Stay Active: Gentle exercises like walking or yoga can help improve your appetite and build muscle mass, which can contribute to healthy weight gain.
Patience: Gaining weight healthily takes time. Be patient with yourself and focus on nourishing your body rather than on the numbers on the scale.
