Not recommended: You should not try to get into any weight loss program or diet pills while you are breastfeeding. Once your are done with that, your body will naturally begin to shed stored fat. Changing your eating habits into healthy ones, adding exercise to your daily routine (life style change) will be more effective in the long run than the best diet pill.
