If you would like a step-by-step program to help you lose weight safely, check out all our courses, programs, challenges, & recipe book. Eating smart is so important for breastfeeding and postpartum weight loss. It can literally make or break your milk supply. Our bodies are designed to thrive off of nutrients from the foods we eat.

I Lost The Weight By 6 Weeks Postpartum

losing the postpartum weight loss by 6 weeks

5 safe and easy steps to lose weight by 6 weeks postpartum: 1. Focus on Healthy, Whole-Food Carbohydrates: Replacing processed carbohydrates with whole-food, natural carbohydrates will help you make a lot of progress with your weight loss immediately. Some carbohydrates that are wonderful sources for healing postpartum, as well as milk supply include: sweet potatoes oatmeal berries quinoa brown rice (in moderation) nuts + seeds beans This is a simple list, but by focusing on what you like on this list, and filling up on these foods, you will be filling up on fiber and nutrients. This makes you feel full…which really helps with breastfeeding hunger. Breastfeeding hunger comes from a greater need for nutrients, not necessarily calories. Your body is burning slightly more calories, but it really needs nutrients.

The Lose Weight While Breastfeeding Meal Plan For New Mamas

breastfeeding meal plan to lose weight

To lose weight while breastfeeding requires a proper meal plan and some help. If you would like a step-by-step program to help you lose weight safely, check out all our courses, programs, challenges, & recipe book. What does a good breastfeeding diet for weight loss include? You definitely want to create your meal plan around some very healthy, nutrient-dense foods that will support your body and milk supply. Fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins are the best sources of nutrients, as well as nuts and avocados for healthy fats. Most of your protein sources are going to have enough healthy fats for your body, and your body has stored fat for baby and energy, so I like to steer mamas in the direction of a higher-carb, lower-fat diet (check out our new cookbook). This is because carbohydrates are the number one source of energy for tired, breastfeeding mamas. Our brains need…
