The responses here are beyond whack. The psychologically sensitive individuals cannot address your question. You call it a cheat meal because that is what it is. It’s simply indulging in something that you mindlessly eat, just as you would prior to dieting. Bottom line is this: have the “cheat meal” if you require it and…

Also depends on your activity level settings. Changing my settings to "very active" adds the extra cals needed to account for feedings.

Eat more and experiment with intermittent fasting to boost loss. This works well if you have to stick to modified work outs.

Protein is simple to consume when you have a thorough understanding of what it is. Protein is nothing but a chain of specific amino acids which when combined make "protein". Even foods that would not seem to meet protein are, when eaten with the right pairings. This understanding has helped me loose weight and avoid fatty…

If one must eat eggs, it is good to note that the cholesterol considered in them are "good cholesterol". Go for it.

Increase protein. Eat a protein to every carb group of foods. In other words, if you eat a muffin, have an egg or a protein on the side. This stabilizes BS and prevents the carb crash which yields more carb cravings. I learned this from being a 2x gestational diabetic. It helps to also increase caloric consumption to…

My iron levels were at 5 after two years of vegetarianism. I corrected that when I realized what protein and iron really are and how they are properly assimilated in the body. Http://electricfoodlife.com sums it up... I lost weight and now I understand how to get food groups for iron and protein efficiency.

It's a good mild detox. Also, if you're retaining fluid for any reason, it's will get the retention down faster. A natural diuretic.

Decrease your milk deficit. It will save you a lot of pain later.

In the same situation as you but I am experiencing rapid weight gain. I think hormones play a factor at this point especially because our 2 year old's are eating more solid food now. I am so frustrated with my weight gain, but I know I'm going through a transition. Just hang in there and do your research. I've been told by…

I liked the idea of an effective workout that did not require weights and was easy on the joints whilst post partum so I hear you. I tried Full Throttle and it did the job! Helped me return to per-pregnancy weight in 3 months. Now I'm 10lbs UNDER my goal. You can learn about it here if you haven't heard of it…

When I was searching early in my weight loss journey, I too wondered about Slim Fast. Slim Fast is good if you do not mind ingesting a highly processed, synthetic, non-digestible substance into your body that will simply cause more degeneration of cells and block absorption of nutrients in your intestines. The first 8 or…

There is a feature now (I access it via breakfast option) that deducts and accounts for 400 calories of breastfeeding. It works perfectly.

"Eat to hunger" helps to drop a lot of weight in my experience, especially with drinking 1-2 L of water. Every woman's body reacts differently. It does take at least 350 calories to produce milk. As your baby grows, 350-500 calories a day are typically absorbed whilst breastfeeding. They say eat as you would when pregnant…
