Losing weight opinions?

Question

I had a baby 5 weeks ago and I want to lose Weight,  I still feel big....  any suggestions? I thought breast feeding would help but I’m having a hard time with that also. I wanna walk with the baby but it’s too soon I feel.

Answer

At 5 weeks if you’re still wanting to breastfeed I wouldn’t do anything drastic just yet as it will impact on your supply. I found after a while of breastfeeding the weight started slipping off easily. Just continue to eat healthy nutritious food for now and talk to your doctor if you’re still worried about your weight in another month or 2 once your supply has established. They’ll be able to guide you to lose weight in a healthy way.

Answer

Give yourself grace. Your body just did an amazing  job of growing a baby for 9months.

Answer

I wouldn't restrict your food intake while breastfeeding; that could cause supply and milk quality problems. Honestly at 5 weeks pp there's really not much to do yet. Enjoy your time with your newborn baby (congrats!) And once you feel physically up to it, start walking with baby. Try to eat until you feel comfortably full, don't starve yourself or overeat, stay super hydrated (water!) and choose whole foods over processed stuff.

Answer

In order to lose weight you have to eat less calories than you are burning. That’s the only way. I would suggest downloading MyFitnessPal . It’s an app to track your calories. It also takes your weight and height and gives you a caloric intake goal, and it can track how many calories you burn in a day. Walking is a great way to start, i dont think its too soon. I started light walking a week postpartum, not really to lose weight but just to get out the house a bit. Definitely take it at your own pace and dont do any strenuous activities until you’re cleared by your doctor

Answer

Your 5 weeks pp.... it's ok. I'm 8 months pp and not where I wanna be. It's ok. My body just did bad ass thing. Least of my concern. Extra fries. Not exercise. 😉😂 
Anyways while breastfeeding you need to be taking in extra calories to feed. Not the time to diet.

Answer

Once you’ve been cleared by your doctor, start exercising. Look up postpartum workouts online. Eat healthy choices

Answer

Make healthy food options. You need to keep eating but stick with proteins, fruits and veggies. As long as the weather is good walking is good!
