Habits?

Question

I’m 3 weeks post pardum, when I got pregnant I weighed 130lbs and now I am 200. My son is 3 weeks old , at 6 weeks I can go back to the gym.. I’m breastfeeding and I heard that helps with the weight loss: what eating habits helped you? I’m really wanting to get this weight off!”. Please help!

Answer

Cut out processed foods, added sugar, and some refined carbs. 
We follow primarily whole30 but use brown rice pasta, and sprouted grain bread. Sugar is really a huge problem for most people. 
We don’t follow this when going out to eat, eating over friends houses etc. we have pizza every once in awhile bla bla bla. But when meal prepping on a regular basis it’s a great benchmark to go off of.

Answer

Watch serving sizes! It's all about eating the right portions. I gained 30lbs with mine and have already lost 20 after birth and 6 weeks postpartum. 10 pounds was all baby and water weight but the other 10 was either from breastfeeding or just from watching what I eat or both; and trust me..I eat. I'm more hungry now than I was during pregnancy but I eat proper portions and try to eat healthy foods and snacks. I follow the suggested servings on labels and when it comes to how much I put on my plate I follow the fist rule  which is only give yourself a portion of each item on your plate the size of you closed fist (veggies excluded: I eat as much of those as I want). Eat small portions a bunch of times throughout the day rather than large meals.

Answer

Breastfeeding kept me from losing weight. Honestly change your diet like the other comment says
