Weight loss
Hey everyone
So I’m almost 6 months pp and trying to lose weight. I’m doing a calorie defect and feel like the only way I can keep within my calories is by skipping breakfast and having a big lunch / dinner.
I’m kinda scared my baby won’t be getting enough nutrients as she’s EBF, any recommendations to keeping up with weight loss but ensuring my baby is getting all the nutrients she needs?

It’s not recommended to diet while bf. Do you incorporate exercise into your days?
So to EBF you will be in a calorie deficit. I was told to up my calories to just shy of 3000 while EBF and still lost weight x
@Maria amazing I will give this a go thank you x
@Lottie I’m doing 10,000 steps a day and trying to exercise as much as I can but haven’t noticed much difference 😔
@Charleigh so were you consuming upto 3000 calories a day??

Hey 🙂. Make sure you are eating enough complex carbohydrates and healthy fats , full fat yoghurt, eggs, avocados etc . I followed the Mediterranean diet and still do where 80% of your meal would be vegetables, pulses, chickpeas, lentils, quinoa, lots of kale and spinach, bean puree etc, with a smaller amount of protein. This way you can have a full plate and be full and it will give your body the energy it needs to support yourself and breastfeeding your baby.
