London influencer Aishwarya Ram has sparked an online conversation after opening up about her postpartum weight loss journey, revealing how she lost 18kg months after giving birth – without what she calls “extremes” or “shortcuts”.
Aishwarya, who is known for sharing travel and lifestyle content on Instagram, recently posted a video montage documenting her physical transformation post-pregnancy. In the post, she explained that while she weighed 60kg before pregnancy, her weight ballooned to 70kg within six months of giving birth – and continued to gain, instead of dropping off naturally as she had hoped.
“This is my honest postpartum weight loss journey 🤍,” she wrote, adding that waiting for her body to “reset itself” wasn’t working for her. Six months after giving birth, she opted for a more structured approach, focusing on what she described as “gentle, consistent” changes under professional supervision.
According to Aishwarya, her routine centered around three pillars: exercise, physical therapy and food. She started with one hour of walking each day, followed by an hour of physical therapy exercises focused on abdominal recovery. “Nothing fancy, just showing up every day,” she noted. She started slowly, with short holds and limited repetitions, gradually increasing the intensity as her strength improved.
According to her, food played a decisive role. She said she cut back on sugar, fried foods, packaged snacks and sugary drinks, while mostly sticking to home-cooked meals. Her diet included boiled or lightly sautéed vegetables, a restriction of carbohydrates, a higher intake of proteins such as eggs and chicken, smaller portions and an overall caloric deficit.
“With consistency, patience and proper guidance, my body slowly responded,” she wrote. 10 months after giving birth, Aishwarya said she had reached 52 kg and felt she was back to her pre-pregnancy shape.
Significantly, the influencer emphasized that her journey was medically guided. She revealed that she worked with a personal trainer and a professional physical therapist who customized her routine based on her type of delivery, physical condition and stage of postpartum recovery. “Every body is different,” she warned, urging new mothers to seek advice from qualified professionals rather than following generic procedures online.
In a separate post, Aishwarya summarized her experience more succinctly: “At 6 months postpartum, I decided it was time to choose me again. No extremes. No shortcuts. Just a simple daily routine – exercise, cardio, walking, physical therapy and careful food choices. 18 kg down in 4 months.”
