Q It's already been more than 2 years since I gave birth, but the weight I gained back then is still there. Isn't it too late to start care now?
A It's not too late. Regardless of when you gave birth, if you start care to revive recovery and metabolism from your current state, you can definitely lose weight. In fact, now is the fastest start.
Detailed Answer
Weight loss is entirely possible even if it's not right after delivery. Weight that remains after time has passed is often no longer just an issue of postpartum recovery but the combined result of lifestyle habits over that time. So you can start by reviewing your current meals, sleep, and activity and begin care that revives metabolism. If your child has grown a bit and you have some time to spare, it may actually be a better condition for consistent management. Consistency from now on matters more than the starting point.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we view postpartum weight that remains after time has passed as 'a state that has accumulated because it couldn't be cleared over that time.' Even now, when you feel it's late, the body responds when you clear what is stagnant and revive metabolism. Regardless of when you gave birth, we help with recovery and weight loss together from your current state so the weight comes down without strain.
