If you check out on Google, you are going to find lots of information on what you should/shouldn’t eat after having a baby, and Iin particular, how to lose the pregnancy weight. From taking, green juices, powders, spritzers, and supplements to messages around burning calories, reducing “belly fat” and cutting the craving.
Whilst many of these products are inaccessible, expensive, unnecessary, messages around needing to “fix our bodies” post-pregnancy can cause pre-occupation and fixation on your weight and your body. It’s also not evidence-based, as data doesn’t support the idea that breastfeeding actually reduces weight in the long term.
Our bodies are constantly working to defend our natural set point weight. Dieting and restriction can not only undermine our own ability to self-regulate our needs through intuitive eating, but leave us feeling even more exhausted and depleted. This can decrease milk supply, increase risk of infection and increase the length of time for healing and repair.
