quick weight loss advice please

Nursing naturally burns around 500 per day, especially in the beginning (up to 6 months, when baby starts eating solids). Set my fitness pal to lose .5 pound per week, and exercise to burn calories. Do not restrict your calories past 1700 or you run the risk of cutting your milk supply way down. This method will have you losing 1.5/ 2 lb easily each week, without wrecking your supply.

Also, carbs don't matter. Calories in and calories out. Eat for energy and to give your baby the perfect start.

Good luck

Alarm bells started ringing for me at '20 pounds in a month' - Then I saw that you have given birth a MONTH ago and I had to pitch in here and tell you to stop, stop, stop. Take a good 10 steps back and re-evaluate here.

20 lbs in a month is not realistic. If you are breast feeding - why would you even want to attempt this?! No. Please do this healthily, Please make sure you are getting the correct amount of vitamins and nutrients still. Calories are not the enemy and we actually need them to function..

A sensible deficit. A sensible mind-set. A sensible goal - you'll succeed.

Cut 400-500 from your diet, especially from carbs (mainly bread,pasta,sugar etc) and exercise 4-5 per week. Won't take too long if you do this.

thanks I'm currently doing that

Seriously?!!??!?! All the great advice you're getting in this thread and that TOTAL RUBBISH is what you latch onto?!

Seeing as the OP just gave birth a month ago, it's very likely she hasn't been cleared for physical activity yet.
