Has anyone thought of/heard of doing the south beach diet while breastfeeding? Since there's lots of protein, fat, and vegetables, it seems like it would be good, but would cutting out that many carbs be problematic? I imagine as long as you can meet the caloric requirement for the day it would be ok.... Has anyone ever tried south beach? Did it work well? What were the drawbacks?

Thanks!

    I have done South Beach but not while breastfeeding. I would suggest maybe starting on phase 2 so you're still getting some carbs and see if that effects your supply. You should also log to make sure you're getting enough calories.

    How did the south beach diet go for you? Was it hard to keep off the weight you lost?

    Well I did it a while ago. It worked well. I was only around 160 then and lost 7lbs in the first 2 weeks without exercise.
