I had a baby 4 months ago. i do not breastfeed anymore. what diet do you recommend to lose weight? post pregnancy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A balanced diet: with a decrease in carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, or sugar. As well an hour of exercise each day would be further helpful.

Hi Dr. I have been losing a lot of weight after my pregnancy and while breastfeeding. My baby is currently 7 months old, and I am still breastfeeding 3 to 4 time a day. I have lost more weight than before I was pregnant, and thus feel quite weak?
