New... Hi!

I'm not a doctor and can only tell you what I am doing, and as always you should consult your own doctor before any type of diet or excercise change, however I will say that my diet was recommended by my doctor.I do low carb with no grains, and no sugar outside of the sugars that naturally occur in fruit. A typical American diet is very high in carbohydrates, which when we have an over abundance of get stored as fat. So a diet with higher fat and protein and low in carb is actually better for you. Eat mostly clean food that is naturally occurring and avoid over processed items. Also excercise is important, for me I do best working out at home because then I don't have any excuses not to go, but others do better being out of the house with no distractions.

I'm no longer breastfeeding, and all I'm doing right now is counting calories 

Hi Shelby! Thank you for joining us. Great job on getting back your pre-pregancy weight. What are you doing for your excercise and diet? Also are you breastfeeding, that may make a difference in any advice others give.
