Fasting while breastfeeding?

Question

I'm 7 months postpartum and looking to start losing some weight. I've had great success in the past with a fasting/low carb way of life but afraid to try and loose my milk supply! Any help/advice is appreciated

Answer

Any drastic diet changes that limit your calories and/or carbs will most likely tank your supply. Both are important for breast milk production.

Answer

I tired. My milk supply decreased and I felt weak and tired.

Answer

Fasting and any diet that causes a dramatic limit or restriction on portions or food group is NOT a healthy diet to follow. Follow my plate and eat healthy grains, appropriate portions, and fruits and veggies. Make healthy eating a lifestyle choice and NOT a diet. Research shows those who switch to healthy eating are more likely to keep lost weight off than those who diet and fad diet. (Direct from my sister who is an RD)
