Cut out added sugars, reduce or eliminate simple / white carbs, eat plenty of low GI / complex / whole grain carbs, eat more protein and eat every two hours to keep blood sugar stable.</p> <p>I lost weight in my third trimester when I had GD and I think you could successfully lose weight by following the diet even if you weren't as strict. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-weight-lossexercise-while-nursing#post-2284898 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 12:51:26 +0000 MrsADS 2284898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommygrace I'm 2 wks PP and interested too. I think my downfall is going to be my middle of the night eating! I'm up with LO so much during the night and I'm always starving when I get up... and I usually want to eat crappy stuff, like a whole box of graham crackers. Haha. I'm not exercising yet but just trying to be a bit more mindful about what I'm eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-weight-lossexercise-while-nursing#post-2284797 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 08:51:05 +0000 MamaCate 2284797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am only 8 weeks postpartum but I have had some early success tracking my food intake in my fitness pal and tracking activity with my Fitbit. For exercise, I started with walking and increased my speed over time and am now doing some Jillian DVDs too. No supply issues so far--I try to make sure to keep my water intake up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-weight-lossexercise-while-nursing#post-2284794 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 08:34:16 +0000 mamabolt 2284794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had great success with Weight Watchers while nursing too! I started at about 4 mo PP. Everything is online and easy to track the points, and I never felt deprived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-weight-lossexercise-while-nursing#post-2284764 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 07:29:41 +0000 Applesandbananas 2284764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mommygrace: I used WW, there are extra points you can build in specifically for nursing, and in my experience, it was enough to keep my supply while also giving me a 1-2lb loss each week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-weight-lossexercise-while-nursing#post-2284759 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 07:27:08 +0000 mommygrace 2284759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello! I was wondering if anyone could recommend a post Partum safe weight loss/exercise plan that worked for you while nursing. I want to be sure to keep my calories up to feed my baby while slowly lose weight at the same time. I do best when I have structure. Thanks ladies! </p>
