Weight Loss While Breastfeeding

Author: Paddy Ryan

Don't think that you will be unable to lose weight while breastfeeding. In fact, breastfeeding makes it easier to lose the excess weight because your body uses the stored energy in fat to make milk.

The amazing thing about breastfeeding is it contains so many nutrients your baby needs and you will burn over 600 calories a day to just to make the milk! So keep going.

A really important thing to remember is to have a balanced diet! It is really important to not eat or drink things that will upset your milk supply, but you also don't want to overload on foods high in saturated fat - like cheese. If you are eating the right portions from all food groups and exercising while breastfeeding you will certainly lose weight.

You can breastfeed and lose weight at the same time if you do it slowly. Don't expect any miracle cures; plan on it taking at least 10 months to a year to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight.

Losing weight gradually through healthy, low-fat eating and moderate exercise is important. Losing weight too quickly releases toxins (PCBs and pesticides) that are stored in your body fat into the bloodstream, which, in turn, increases the amount in the milk supply.

Doctors, health visitors, and midwives will probably all remind you to eat well and keep up your breast milk production in your first few weeks after giving birth, but no one checks up on you when you're several months on post delivery, and perhaps even back at work. Yet, these are the moments when, you're most likely to slacken your vigilance and will need a good quality diet.

Try to be patient, the changes will happen.

The best way to lose weight in the long term and most importantly to keep the weight off is to enjoy the diet itself. Now I know that sounds odd. How can you enjoy dieting? Well how about a revolutionary diet system and eating program that will make you lose weight without restricting your diet to low fat or low carb' foods. When my wife gave birth to our first child I was already on this diet, and recovering from major surgery. It was because of the success she saw that I was having that she decided to join me after the arrival of our baby. The "Diet Generator" that comes with this system will allow you to enter your own choice of your favorite foods from which it can create 40,000 different diet plans. You will never be bored with your diet again. You choose the foods that you want to eat, just plug in the system and the diet will be created for you. You can create as many completely unique diets as you want.
You will never have a day of boring dull diet food again.
You will be able to stay with your diet eating the foods that you like and so you will be successful at losing weight and more importantly keeping that weight off in the long term!

I have been a keen sportsman all my life and rarely tipped the scales above 154Lbs After a 10 month wait for surgery and a further 4 month period of recovery I was appalled to find that I weighed in at 190Lbs... Yes 14 months of enforced inactivity and I had put on 36Lbs!!! Now for the first time in my life I needed to lose weight!! Depite numerous diet attempts I was unable to lose weight...untill in my search I discovered something revolutionary in the diet industry.
