Question by BX Bunny: Which diets work best after giving birth?
I want to lose the baby weight while I’m breastfeeding. I’m hoping that my body will use my stored fat to make milk. From experience, which diets work best for this? I want my milk to be good for the baby, so I can’t go on any diets that cut out food groups completely.

Any books or websites with the diet plans on them would be helpful I’m trying to read up before I give birth!

i’m sorry but that’s not true at all. you need to be eating healthy while breastfeeding, drink a lot of water, and your going to hate this one, but you actually will need to intake more calories while breastfeeding, if you don’t get enough, you wont produce as much milk. so basically, you can’t be on a diet while breastfeeding, good thing, breastfeeding burns cals and makes you lose weight fast.
