I started a 1500cal diet 11 days ago n i'm just eating healthy meals balanced with fruit ect.. i'm breastfeeding. ihave already lost 5kg is this bad?

Yes: It is good to eat healthy! However, you need more calories when you breast feed. You also need extra vitamins. 5kg is too much lose in 11 days. Your goal should be no more than 1kg/week. Consult a dietitian for more details.
