Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Diet routine you followed to shed your post-natal weight? 5 energy foods you & Do your kids enjoy eating?
Ms. Parul Kakad:
To get rid of my post-pregnancy weight, I followed a strict diet which included low-calorie meals along with regular exercise. I also consumed One life Apple Cider Vinegar in the morning daily, along with Onelife Garcilean tablets which is a natural weight loss supplement. This worked wonders for me. Both these products helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight in a healthy way.
Also, fenugreek in all forms. From consuming it raw to tablets. I increased my milk supply for breastfeeding and it also simultaneously helped me shed all the weight.
As for my kids and super foods I’ve pretty much been a strict mom when it’s come to meals. For breakfast and lunch, I decide a full meal menu, dinner I let them have their choice. All my kids love their veggies and I think we have a balanced diet.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You went through a series of miscarriages, which can be a challenging time. How did you keep up your mental health and deal with social pressure? 5 tips for women who have undergone the same.
Ms. Parul Kakad:
Now this is something that I still somewhere deep-down think about a lot of the times. I remember some of the dates as well. I’ve had traumatising miscarriages; some I didn’t even know about till I went to the hospital. I’ve had 9 pregnancies in all, with 5 miscarriages. I’ve silently dealt with each one of them without talking to anyone about. Till I realised that the world needs to know and talk and discuss a mom’s mental health for her own sanity.
I did go through some major lows when I miscarried each time and went into a shell and dealt with it on my own. I stopped talking to family and friends till I felt like I was back on my feet.
The worst low I hit was when I went through postpartum and only got diagnosed months later. It took me almost 8 months to come out of it after my fourth child. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I’d be at my lowest then. Everything was wrong, the only thing going right was the support I had from my four children. As attached I was to all of them, I still felt disconnected, because my mind wasn’t right.
It took a lot of yoga, pranayama meditation and counselling to get myself back on my feet.
The last year has been completely revolutionary for me. I feel like sunshine today and have never felt happier in my life.
