Jump starting weight loss

tlc11934 · October 2015

I'm three weeks pp and ready to lose some weight. I fit into my pre-preg jeans yesterday and hate the way they look. Apparently I gained weight in my thighs this time and it's awful! I'm looking to jump start weight loss.

Since I'm kind of nursing (pumping 1/2oz a day so I know she's not getting much from me), I'm not going to take any pills. I'm wondering about some detox natural remedies, the juices and tea cleanses from fruits and veggies. Also, has anyone had success with garcinia cambogia? I won't take this until I stop nursing but am interested in hearing about real life results.

Once I can I'll start exercising, after my 6 week checkup. I power walked 3 miles on Tues and am still so tired! Definitely too much for me right now after not exercising at all during pregnancy.

Any tips or ideas are welcome. Thanks!

I'd avoid any form of detox-even a nutritional cleanse (like Clean, where you make your own drinks/food) warns against it while breastfeeding because anything coming out would be in your breastmilk.

Just eat real food and avoid processed foods and refined sugars. Those cleanses are bs and your body shouldn't be undergoing any extreme diets or fasts while you breastfeed. But if you drop processed foods and eat everything from a whole/fresh food source it will be healthiest for you and baby and you'll lose weight. I dropped all processed sugar and flour from my diet once andi lost tons of weight.

Yep, just eat clean and keep portions in check. My fitness pal helps me. None of that crazy cleanse stuff. I've been eating pretty clean since birth and I'm 3 lb under my pre preggo weight.
