Postpartum diet plans?

Question

I’m not saying I want/need to lose weight right away, but my eating habits are out of control right now and I’m edging on 40 lbs weight gain when I was already about 30 lbs overweight to begin with. 
Does anyone have a plan for what they’ll eat once they give birth? I’d love to think I can get my portion control in check but I know with the new baby plus my toddler and my husband working I’m going to have a hard time! Maybe just sticking to Lean Cuisines and fruits and veggies for a while will help? I’m not going to have time to prepare much I’m guessing.

Answer

First of all, don't stress. You can get your body back. I gained over 80lbs with my last and lost it all. In the beginning it's hard to even find time and energy to eat. If you are BF you need lots of healthy protein and fats to make milk. Protein shakes are a life saver! Mine tastes amazing and is full if daily vitamins for when I can't keep up with everything else. I wouldn't focus on dieting. A simple plan is to try to eat Fab4- protein, healthy fat, leafy greens, and fiber at each meal. Check out on IG or FB. It works! I would also recommend addressing gut health with probiotics. Let me know if you need more information 😊

Answer

Intermittent fasting? Eat during any 8 hour window of your choosing and fast the other 16 hours.

Answer

Depends on if you are planning on breastfeeding or not. For my first baby I was 160, gained 40 pounds (I'm only 5'2" so, very overweight) and I didnt even have to try to lose it. I had no appetite for a few weeks, I was constantly exhausted from new baby and breastfeeding, and by 3 months postpartum I was back down to 160 without dieting. The only exercise I did was walk my dog twice a day.
I don't plan on eating like garbage, but I'm not going to jump into anything restrictive either. Whole grains, fruits and veggies, meats, easy on desserts.

Answer

Honestly, I was so tired all the time and so hungry after my last birth that I just couldn’t get into better eating habits for over a year.  I did lose weight and worked out from 8 weeks pp, but the last pounds didn’t come off until I really thought about food. This time I’m going to wait and see how it goes. I’m not going to push myself because it’s just not realistic for me.

Answer

I am going to do weight watchers once I'm cleared by Dr. They have options for breastfeeding moms, and I liked that it gives you guidelines and options rather than being strict black and white.
