Breastfeeding Does He Really Lose Weight?
Saturday, March 12th, 2011Hello everyone, before birth, that's what everyone told me that breastfeeding was the best natural diet that can exist. Here I breastfeed my baby almost 5 months, I give him a bottle a day since she was 2 months. Listed weight I'm just swell, breastfeeding makes me very hungry and as for the moment I'm not very active, I have not lost a kilo. What do you think, is it true that breastfeeding makes you lose weight and if so, after how long? Thank you for your testimony.
Hello, I have not heard that at all! On the contrary, my neighbor who has breastfed until about six months, has not lost weight during these months of breastfeeding because she could not make a plan. She began to lose when she stopped breastfeeding.
Hello, I think it depends on the metabolism of each, in my case I took 35 kg for my two pregnancies and I breastfed 6 months and 8 months and I lost 30kg each time very rapidly (5 / 6 months) and without any effort it tell me breastfeeding gives me no more appetite (unlike pregnancy
) So I eat normally.
if you eat balanced and do some exercise (even if that walks with your daughter) yes it can make you lose weight. but apparently you eat a lot, you probably crunching (not easy being at home all day without cracking, it was all done) so well it should motivate you to move more and also to streamline your food. Personally, I lost all my pregnancy pounds the first month of my two feedings. I was pretty tired, new schedule, nights cut, etc., not very hungry, etc. … Then I started to feel more fit and I went back to eating normally and then bein to force trainer at home, cravings for junk food (chocolate, cookies, etc. …) in short, in two months, I had it all over again. try to take advantage of breastfeeding to rebalance your diet, the weather arriving for long walks with your baby (it will do you good at both) and you should happen to lose a little weight. and then also benefits from the presence of the father on weekends to go for a. and then also benefits from the presence of the father on weekends to go hour drive sports (it will also help you refocus you on you, one time per week, it's been a very foolish not to be a mom!). courage you.
For me, it really helped. 20kg taken during pregnancy and while I lost again in four months. But at first I jumped a lot of meals because the baby monopolize so much that I realized that I had to 16H eaten anything yet.
Not that I know
My témiognage will not be very helpful since I breastfed my first for 2 months and 3 months my daughter second. I took almost 20 kg each pregnancy and I took 9 months to lose everything. I believe that nursing draws on our fat stores (the famous cellulite!) But in the long term … So it does not necessarily lose weight, especially the need to continue to eat anything and especially not to the regime. I think these are misconceptions. To lose weight there is no mystery: we must move and eat lightly.
Hello sweetie I nursed 14 months and not one gram of lost or taken, by the way I normally eat my fill and even more
yes it is very slim! I am the chocolate diet since breastfeeding (5 months), and I'm losing weight. since the beginning in fact. after, maybe it depends on people …
Bjr, I had taken only 14kg, breastfeeding, and I quickly lost in the first quarter so it depends on women can be, for cons I know that breastfeeding promotes good replacement of the uterus especially ..
No, breastfeeding does not lose weight by itself … It allows you to simply consume more calories … What makes you lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. So if you are breastfeeding, but even when you consume more calories than what you spend, you do not lose weight, and depending on your shape, you fat … Without thinking of dieting, if you want to lose weight by continuing to breastfeed, you must consider improving the quality of your diet. What is the most fattening, it's the sugar. Not necessarily fat, you need also to breastfeeding. So just trying to reduce the intake of simple sugars (sweets) and involve systematically starchy vegetables, without worrying quantities (eat all you want) …
Concretely you almost answered your question. "Breastfeeding gives me a lot of appetite". What happens is that your body needs more energy (for the production of milk) when you are breastfeeding when you do not breastfeed. The trick is that if you compensate by eating more, well you do not lose weight. But it is quite normal to be hungry! Good luck
Everything depends on each. For my three pregnancies I was breastfeeding maigirissais at least 10 kgs. So that took no more than 5 lbs during my pregnancy.
