Alia talks about her weight gain during pregnancy
Mothers often gain weight during pregnancy. Many people struggle to lose the excess weight they have accumulated. However, the rate is not consistent, and weight loss after birth varies from person to person.
Alia Bhatt lost weight quite swiftly. “After giving birth to Raha, I actually gained a lot of weight. I was breastfeeding, which burns a lot of calories, and I was eating healthily. So I lost a lot of weight really quickly,” she explained.
Breastfeeding has been shown in studies to help some people lose weight, but the effect is typically minor and varies greatly depending on individual factors such as food, sleep, stress, and breastfeeding exclusivity and length.

Alia was breastfeeding, which contributed significantly to her calorie burn. Her healthy eating recommendations also helped to speed up the weight loss process.
Alia recalls being criticised after shedding pregnancy weight. Her ability to recover raised the possibility that she used `unnatural techniques.` She shared, “I remember there was a picture that came out and they were like Oh my god, there were trolls, like she has done this through unnatural process. `Why did she have to lose weight so quickly. It`s fine, take your time, Alia.` I saw this and I was like ‘oh no, it just happened naturally this way’.”
