Diet by age and life stage · Postpartum

Your body after childbirth:
we look after recovery first, then slim down

Recovery comes first. We decide when to start losing weight by looking at your energy, swelling, and sleep.

  1. Lower energy
  2. Swelling and lack of sleep
  3. It won't come off even when you cut

We consult nationwide through remote consultations. Results may vary from person to person.

Why is it hard?

Why is it hard to lose weight at this stage of life?

Depleted energy

Your energy has dropped greatly from childbirth and childcare. Overdoing the reduction now wears you out more and does not last.

Lingering swelling

Swelling is mixed into body weight, so it is hard to tell apart from fat. We need to separate them through body composition.

Lack of sleep

Because of the baby, it is easy to sleep in broken stretches. When you lack sleep, appetite wavers and you crave sweet food.

If this sounds like you

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • While caring for the baby, you skip meals or get by on food the baby left.
  • From night feeding and lack of sleep, you crave sweets during the day.
  • You have neither the time nor the energy to exercise.
  • The swelling does not go down and your body feels heavy.
  • You want to get back to your old body but do not know where to start.
Miple's prescription

How a Miple prescription works

  1. Start after breastfeeding endsWe do not prescribe while you are breastfeeding. After you finish breastfeeding, we look at your recovery and decide when to start.
  2. Body composition checkWe look at body fat, muscle, and swelling separately. If we judge that recovery comes first, we put off weight loss.
  3. Replenishing while slimmingIf you need energy, we consider GONG BI JIN YAK, which contains Gongjindan ingredients. We go at a pace that does not wear you out.
  4. Adjusting monthlyWe change stages while also checking your sleep and state of mind. A remote consultation is also possible to fit your childcare schedule.
Diet and lifestyle tips

Try this at home

  • Do not skip meals; start with protein. It is easier if you prepare it together with the baby's meals.
  • Make time to lie down when the baby sleeps. When you lack sleep, appetite wavers.
  • Start walks lightly with the baby. It is fine to rest if it is hard.
  • Rather than easing hunger with sweet drinks and bread, keep boiled eggs, tofu, or plain yogurt nearby.

Consultation process

How your care proceeds

First month

Adjusting and finding your stage

After you finish breastfeeding, we start at a low stage. We first look at the pace at which your body adapts.

Months 2–3

Monthly body composition check · stage adjustment

Each month we check swelling and muscle through body composition and adjust the stage.

Maintenance stage

Months 3–6, lowering stages gradually

Over 3–6 months we gradually step the stages down and build an eating rhythm you can keep even while raising a child.

This describes the care process. The pace and results of weight loss vary from person to person.

A consultation is fine at any time. We decide the start date together after breastfeeding.
