Girl, breastfeeding requires 400–700 extra calories a day 🥵 USE that to leverage fat burning while you can 😉 “But how” When fueling yourself *right*, you can flip the switch into ketosis — your natural fat-burning mode. 🔥 Instead of burning off your dinner, you’ll burn off your mum pouch, in your sleep. Here how ⬇️ In ketosis, your body taps into stored fat for energy, giving your cells a constant flow of fuel = your hunger naturally chills out, and your energy stays steady (bye bye 3pm crashes). Pair that with the calorie demand of breastfeeding, and you’ve basically turned your metabolism into a 24/7 fat-burning machine — all while nourishing your baby 💪❤️ “But my hormones like prolactin makes me gain weight” No. It might make you hungrier because you need more nutrients - not *energy*. If you’re overweight you’ve got unlimited energy to make milk - the issue is you can’t access it if you’re fueling yourself the wrong way. A lot of mums fall into the trap of over eating energy & under eating nutrients Like… Protein bars Smoothies w greens and protein powder high fiber veggies fruit juices supplements plant based proteins flax seeds chia pudding oats nut milks starchy veggies 🍠 and sourdough They sounds good on paper but won’t help you burn fat. Solution⬇️ Combine the right fuel (strategic carbs, adequate protein, healthy fats) with the built-in caloric demand of breastfeeding, you essentially: • Lower insulin naturally. • Increase fat mobilization. • Reduce appetite in a sustainable way. • Maintain stable energy and mood. No drugs. No crazy restrictions. Just working with your biology instead of against it. I’ve lost 60lbs for the third time 👶 👶 👶 …and to be honest I didn’t even rely on exercising for it. I’ve just started workout now to shape my body and drop the last 5kg. I can help you do the same, even if you’re a busy sleep deprived mum🤗 ☕️ ➡️ Comment “LEAN” for all details on my protocol if you’re keen to drop 10-20kg in the next 3-6 months ✅ See you inside 👀 ✅Must follow me for links to send @themeatbasednutritionist
