I'm a mom to a 4-year-old delivered via C-section and struggling with postpartum weight loss. Can you suggest a safe and effective diet plan that works for my situation? I'm also unsure about exercises that won't strain my C-section scar. What would you recommend for gradual and sustainable weight loss?
