Brief Answer:
Weight Gain due to hormones
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern.It is common to have weight gain after abortion because during pregnancy internal hormones progesterone and cortisol are increased to help in conserving food for the baby which otherwise subside after full term delivery but stay increased if pregnancy gets terminated in between. All you need now is to follow a diet plan and start exercise like in a gym or just a brisk walk daily 0of 35 to 50 mins a day.
Eat balanced diet, low carbohydrate high protein diet is advised. Plenty of fluids and fiber and drinking cold water up to 500 ml before every meal helps.
Sign up to an FDA approved weight loss program and no worries. The hormones will subside in a couple of months and your weight will get back to normal. You just continue with the diet and lifestyle preferences.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
