Successfully loosing weight while EBF

Yes I've lost 2 stone, breastfeeding uses up calories but in reality you still need to eat less to actually lose weight. I use a food diary and try to roughly track calories. I reduced carbs & sugar, basically banning sugar - as its addictive and makes you hungrier - instead opting for lots of fresh fruit, snacking on raw vegetable sticks with hummus or peanut butter, plain yoghurt and protein like chicken, as my snacks.

My breakfast is typically a smoothie or a piece of fruit, maybe with scrambled egg or a handful of nuts
Lunch I usually do snack plates, cucumber carrot peppers celery with hummus or peanut butter, maybe a little cheese, if I'm particularly peckish I'll have a small portion of pasta or a veg heavy omelette
Dinner I eat what I want but I opt for small portions of carb/fat and large portions of vegetables/proteins/etc

I am struggling to loose weight 😫 but my 2021 baby i lost the weight quickly and weighted less then before I was pregnant.

Make sure you eat plenty of protein. Protein fills you up and you can have so much of it that it’s impossible to over eat. Chicken quesadillas are amazing! I make it in crock pot and toss it on pan with tortillas, super low calorie but high in protein, it leaves room for a snack if I wanted to. Lost weight by 1 month and still have lots of milk. Just gotta make sure you drink ALOT of water. You only really need extra 400/500 calories per day while breastfeeding. Protein is your best friend and I don’t even crave snacks in between I stay full. For little nibbles i eat animal crackers lol you can only eat so much of them and they supper low in calories
