safe weight lost while Bfing

I am 11 weeks pp, I want to lose weight I was thinking of doing it gradually do it doesn't interfere with my supply. I planned on doing Biggest loser for Wii and Pilates. I want to eat healthy while I do this, I was thinking of doing a 2,000 calorie maybe 2300 cal diet. I was on a 2,000 when I was pregnant and dealing with gestational diabetes. I curious is doing 2000 calories with 15 carb choices  or 225 grams of carbohydrates per day would be ok ?

Re: safe weight lost while Bfing

  • I'm 5 weeks PP and to lose weight while BFing, I need to eat a little over 2,000 calories. I eat about 2,200 a day. Some days I eat 2,400 if I feel ultra hungry. I haven't been cleared for exercise yet, but I'm losing 2-3 pounds per week in addition to the 26 I lost in the hospital. GL!

  • I was not able to lose weight without it affecting my supply. I am at my PP weight, but every time I drop calories (not significantly at all) my supply dips. 

    You try to lower your calorie intake, but keep an eye on things, you may end up having to increase it again. GL!
