Actress Karen Nguyen reveals her 'half-laughing, half-crying' journey of becoming a mother

Actress Karen Nguyen lost 17kg after giving birth

Wearing tight gym clothes, "mom" Karen Nguyen shows off her attractive body and 60cm waist. To have the slim figure she has now, actress Karen Nguyen went through a period of "shock" with herself when looking in the mirror. Thanks to the help of her husband and hard work at home, actress Ngoc Lan was also amazed at the journey of overcoming her inferiority complex and successfully losing weight after giving birth of actress Karen Nguyen.

Gaining a lot of weight during pregnancy inevitably made the beauty feel self-conscious. "During my pregnancy, I had to stop all work and did not dare to accept any more film projects. At that time, I was very ugly, my face and nose were swollen, my body was fat, and I had acne all over my back. Sometimes I looked in the mirror and cried: "Oh my god, I'm so ugly! So horrible!" Because I had never been fat before, so I was very stressed" - the actress said.

She is known as the "hot mom" of Vietnamese showbiz.

Like many other mothers, the pressure of postpartum appearance is one of the biggest problems for new mothers. The actress recalls: "After giving birth, my belly was still as big as if I had never given birth. At that time, I was sad. During the first 2 weeks after giving birth, I cried almost every day."

Less than 5 months after giving birth to her first daughter, the actress has almost regained her previous figure. "After giving birth, I lost 17kg. I exercised regularly every day, and after 3 months I was confident enough to go out" - Karen Nguyen said.

To get back in shape after giving birth, she worked out like crazy.

Karen Nguyen shared that her husband did not put pressure on her to quickly get back in shape, but the fact that she was aware of herself as an actress and wanted to return to work soon urged her to work hard. However, Karen Nguyen said she also relied on scientific and effective weight loss principles so as not to affect taking care of her children.

Just 6 months after giving birth, she got her old figure back.

Karen Nguyen said she started exercising again about 6 weeks after giving birth. In addition to exercising, Karen Nguyen also pays attention to her diet. The beauty born in 1993 usually only eats rice or foods high in carbs for breakfast and lunch. Karen Nguyen's dinner menu is mainly protein from meats such as pork, chicken, beef and vegetables. The actress revealed that after giving birth, she did not eat pig's feet because she did not like to eat fat, so it also somewhat limited the amount of calories consumed in each meal.
