How to lose weight while nursing.

Maybe set your goal to half pound a week at first. I believe there's a breastfeeding category in the exercise bank. If not, I'd add in at least 250-500 calories and eat those back. Just be sure to clear it with your doc before starting to eat at a purposeful deficit. And be sure that baby is gaining weight appropriately. Even if you keep your supply up, you want to make sure you're eating enough to get all the right nutrients to baby. Perhaps a visit to a lactation consultant or a registered dietician is in order as well prior to starting anything.

I am currently breastfeeding as well and dropping about 2 pounds a week. I also do not eat extra calories as my ob has told me it is not true which was very surprising as my first 2 kids I was told too, third time around, new ob, and told me not too. I eat about 1300 calories and exercise daily

I ebf and though i gained back some weight due 5o illness and indulgence, i lost 10lbs through eating whole foods, and exercising. It only took 2 mo ths to drop 10lbs, I did moderate exercise so as not to affect my milk supply, and made sure to drink 2litresof water perday, if not more. Its important when breastfeeding to make sure you're consuming enough healthy fats and protein, otherwise your milk loses fat content (i had noticeably less fatty milk at one point during a week I didnt eat enough fats, like avocado, olive oil, nuts etc.)

Gaini g while breastfeeding is actually really common, i know a ton of people who gained, its because youre so hungry, and because some babies feed A LOT lol, so you're limited with movement
