La Leche League and other breastfeeding groups, books, and other references recommend that you do not go under 1800 calories a day while nursing an infant. However, not every nursing mother needs to eat only 1800 calories per day-many can eat more than this, and lose.

A nursing woman eating 1800 calories per day is the equivalent of a NON-nursing woman eating about 1300 per day. 1800 calories a day for a nursing mother is the LOW end, and most nursing women do not need to start out this low.

I recommend using trial and error to find the correct calorie level for you. If you have under 30 pounds to lose, try 1800 calories for a week, and weigh in. If you lose 1-2 pounds, then this is the correct level for you. If you lose MORE than this, try upping it to 1900 per day and weighing in the next week. You are aiming for a weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week.

If you have 30-50 pounds to lose, you might want to try starting with a 2000 calorie range, and adjusting it up or down from there-using the same formula. A woman with over 50 pounds to lose can probably start even higher. Remember, 2000 calories might sound like a lot, but 300-500 of that per day goes directly to your baby

Morning -

yesterday was day 6 for me on the CD diet

and i was friggin starving! everywhere i looked there was either food, or adverts for food, but i was good and just had my shakes

get weigh'd in tomoz, but already weigh'd myself, and have lost 6lb this week, im well chuffed

Well done beauty within, thats alot to lose, what diet are you doing?

 

[ramblinhaggis]

argh! My weight watchers scales have stopped working! I need to get a new battery to see if its that, but its meant to last years the one in it.

I am cutting out bread completely, it's my biggest downfall, I Love it. I could live on toast/sarnies etc lol. I am also going to buy some brown rice & pasta & cut down on potatoes. I arent exercising that much so all these carbs are just gonna get stored as fat unless I cut down. Hopefully when I start exercising again I will lose weight as I will be burning the stored fat off. Well, thats the aim anyway

I dont have any scales at home, so will either have to ask to use a friends or be a bit late with the weigh in on a tues. I used my mums wii fit to weigh myself the other day, but dont have one myself just now (hoping that the b'day fairy might bring me one).

Congrats to everyone on your loss so far

I wouldn't even know how much food is 1800 calories worth !! but I know I'm not losing weight, and I'm not eating any more than I did pre pregnancy.....although my sister in law came to visit yesterday & brought Thortons mini caramel shortcake, and they are calling from the kitchen......I love them

weight watchers is great if you arent good at calorie counting, the points system simplifies it. But all food tells you how much calories is in it, check the nutritional value, the Kcal is the calorie count. Add up your calories see how you are getting on.

I ate cookies yesterday, I am so ashamed. Hopped on the now working scales this morning and am 9 stone 8. So a lb heavier, but thankfully not the 9, 11 I was on saturday! It will be gone by tomorrow as i am back to not eating cookies lol!

[blackrose]

Right . Im 12 stone (oh my god HOW ....WHY ) I feel like kicking things . But I know where Im starting at least . Target weight loss is three stone , but I'll go with two for now . After my check up next week Im joining a gym . Can anyone reccomend a diet or diet plan thing ?

 

[Caz-x]

I admit defeat, dont think i'll have lost any weight tomorrow. The mountain of ironing that drove me to a bag of aero bubbles (the large bag) last night has seen to that

See thats why I avoid ironing, its bad for the waist line

 

[Pixie71]

Well done to those who have lost weight
Not done too much watching of calories so far so no stars for me.
Blackrose - am following weight watchers again and going to start listening to my patrick fox cds (he is a hypnotist who I saw in Jan 09 and I weighed 13 stone then and by april was 1.5 stone lighter, so now I am 10.5 stone with target of 9 stone. So between the two hopefully.....
