Shoko Nakagawa shares details of 30kg postpartum weight loss
Japanese personality Shoko Nakagawa has revealed the methods she used to lose 30kg following the birth of her twins. Reflecting on her maternal health records, Nakagawa noted her weight was 78kg on the day before childbirth. She has since reached 47.4kg, a weight lower than she was prior to her pregnancy.
Nakagawa attributed her weight gain to hormonal imbalances and medication used during fertility treatments, noting significant swelling during her pregnancy. To manage her weight postpartum, she focused on a philosophy of not skipping meals while prioritizing protein intake. Her diet frequently included sashimi bowls and protein bars, and she made a conscious effort to eat dinner by 18:00.
While she expressed a dislike for intense exercise, she incorporated small movements like squats and hand exercises into her daily routine during spare moments. She emphasized the importance of finding a sustainable method that avoids excessive stress and remains satisfying to ensure long-term success.
