This book has been very helpful for me to lose weight while breastfeeding. I had always been a petite 120 lb. woman until I got pregnant, and gained 43 lbs. I lost 17 lbs. the first month of breastfeeding after my son was born, but then I gained back 12 lbs. I was very frustrated because I have always been fit and healthy. I had been under the false pretense that I could now eat whatever I wanted and still lose weight while breastfeeding. Unfortunately this was not the case for me.
So, when I discovered this book about eating well and losing weight while breastfeeding I thought I would give it a chance. The thing I love most about this book is that it makes it easy to customize a healthy diet for your individual goals. It gives you a healthy weight range for all shapes and sizes of women. There are so many diets out there that lump everyone into the same category and just say how many calories to eat, or to cut out fat, or to cut out carbs. This book explains how to eat the correct number of calories for your individual body size without cutting out fat or carbs (but rather eating everything in moderation).
I also love the recipes! They are healthy and tasty. Imagine that. Quite contrary to the philosophy that if it tastes good, spit it out.
I recommend this book to anyone who really wants to make a life change and get back on track to a healthy weight while making sure to eat all of the healthy nutrients that your baby needs.

This book offers you a nutritional guide to eating. Not only does it offer great advice, but it also tells you why we should be eating certain foods. It gives eating and breastfeeding a whole new aspect!

I was gifted this book years ago and LOVE IT! I have a lot to lose and recently pulled this book out again. In the past I stopped short of my goal due to learning of other diets that sounded too good to be true. WHY stop something that is WORKING?!! This is a very healthy way to lose weight THAT WORKS~not just for breastfeeding Moms~and you won't be hungry, either. (((((HUGS))))) sandi

P.S. One thing I do with this book is write up a food journal to record my eating. In the front I copy the equation for my IBW and a list of foods (and the size of the serving) in each food group. I highlight the edges of these pages for easy reference. This way I can count food groups rather than calories, which is SO MUCH EASIER for me to keep track of!

I first read this book years ago when I had my second child and wanted to drop the weight and still nurse. I found it had great information and was one of a kind at that time. Now I am done with nursing and got the up-dated version for a friend. I know she will love it too.

My daughter is 4 months old and i decided to use this book to help me with my eating habits while breastfeeding. I tend to eat when i'm hungry and am afraid it may effect my milk. Its been very helpful. I recommend reading it. Even if you dont do everything it said i think you could benefit greatly from it. It gives you information on a recommended diet with or without breastfeeding so you can continue eating well after you wean your baby.

This book is great for mothers that are concerned about nutrtition while breastfeeding. There is a lot of information about food nutritional content and vitamins in food. Also, great recipes for healthy meals.

This book was full of so much great information. It has really helped me lose weight and have more energy. I have recommeneded it to all my nursing friends and they love it. The perfect book for any mom!

Very helpful nutritional information for breastfeeding moms. I finally got the answers I've been looking for.

I purchased this book 6 weeks after giving birth to my daughter who is exclusively breast feed. I was nervous about dieting because I didn't want to impact my milk supply. This book has been a great choice! I feel like it's a healthy, balanced diet and my milk supply is great! The book is easy to follow and it gives me great comfort to know that when I follow the eating guidelines I am getting all the nutrients that my daughter and I need. I am also training for a triathlon and have been satisfied with the amount of food I can eat. It's actually a lot of food and very nourishing. I recommend this book to all breast feeding mommies.

This is everything you thought you knew but is in writing!. A good guide to help you through a tough time! I slowly lost weight and Never felt hungry and nursed very healthy twins...twice! My twins were each bigger than the "skinny mom's" single babies. I was very please with my weight lost and I found it was an easier transion to non-nursing diet.
