I feel like macros that they calculate are pretty decent for a breastfeeding diet. But I would lean toward more carbs. I need protein in the mornings to hold me over, so I'll have an egg but with some cheese and wrapped in a tortilla. I usually also have a banana. My milk supply head been steady on the macros. I also add…

I am eating 1200-1300 and haven't lost any milk- actually my son is overweight! But with baby #2 i got so busy with life that I would accidentally only eat 800 on some days ! I lost a ton of weight but it made me weak and tired. If it doesn't risk your milk, I would stay at your caloric goal and increase snacks. That's of…

Been there! I ate a bowl of cereal last night at 9pm because I was starving thanks to breastfeeding. Are you adding the proper calories in for breastfeeding?

Yea I would say so. And I totally get being dizzy while breast feeding. It can REALLY take it out of you!

Every ounce of breastmilk had 20 calories in it, so if you pump at least once to see how much you predict for a feeding, use 20kcal x # of ounces=calories in milk. Then, your body had about an 80% efficiency rate to produce that milk. So you would take you first total number and divide it by .8 Example: My baby eats 2…

Thanks everyone! I'm usually running around and feel too busy or too stressed to eat. Def something I need to make more time to do. I never feel quite hungry, but perhaps this is because I'm not thinking about it! I'm Only 105 Lbs so I feel like my caloric intake should be lower t Since I'm only 5 feet tall

I go to bed about 10ish but I don't fall asleep right away.

I've felt like this fr a year or so and went for test after test and everything was tip top. That's why I'm hoping its something simple I need to add or take out!

Thanks everyone, I really like 30 day shred, but it burns too many calories so I just look kinda sickly afterwards :/

I know resurrecting this topic, but I took a 3 month hiatus because I got so discouraged from family and friends. I finished reading all the replies and want to say thank you to everyone! I'm back on board!

"Progressive loading"...didn't even realize thats what it was called, i'll check it out. Unfortunately I don't drink milk and we use coconut milk here at our house. But I can have certain cheese and the occasional greek yogurt.

I've gotten the, "You're already thin, you'll look sick if you lose anymore." Like gee thanks...Sadly it was my grandmother who made that particular comment. A lot of people on this thread have used the, "Wouldn't that be a nice problem to have" comment that has been made to them and I hear this a lot too. Why I yes I love…

I breastfed my daughter for two years. Within the first year I dropped tremendous weight. I was 170+ after having her then was down to like 116 by 12 months. I cut out three major things, which were all the things they reccomend if your child is sensitive to your milk (which mine was) MILK, ANYTHING TOMATO, AND CHOCOLATE!…

I Used to be hardcore runner, and I lost my periods as well. I had to go on medication to make them come back and out soooo much weight on me. I was so sad! I wish I had done things more natural and just quit exercising. But I felt so guilty not exercising. It's a slippery slope. I remember thinking, "Ugh I have to run…

This is very true. I think I may have been like this at one point. I wasn't always thin, and now it's like okay, I cant put on weight and I am so weak. Just Yesterday I was talking to a friend and I groaned as I sat down. I had just gotten done with a workout and had mentioned to her. She says, "Why are you working out,…

Thanks so much for this! I immediately googled it and I love it!! I was very hesitant to post this topic, but am so glad I did! I used to be overweight and worked myself way down, but now my metabolism is so high I know I could eat a container of Oreo's without really gaining anything f I wanted too...but the point is that…

This is exactly how I feel. There are two ends of the spectrum and some people don't realize that. I feel like people are saying, "yes you're thin but don't feel too good about yourself."

Thanks everyone. It's truly nice reading these comments. I am letting others peoples opinions get to me. My last straw was the snooty worker at the clothing store that made a comment about me needing a smaller size. I'm wondering if I should just completely ignore these comments, or start to say something....because when…
