Nursing my 4 month old. how many calories is it safe to still nurse but also lose weight at a steady rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy: Just try to eat a healthy balanced diet of lean meats, fruits and vegetables. Limit carbs and drink a lot of water and milk. Look for healthy fats with omega fatty acids (fish), and other natural fats (avocado, yogurt). Exercise daily (walking, swimming, pilates, etc). Get enough quality sleep if you are able.
