[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m ten weeks postpartum and breastfeeding, slowly weaning.  I eat sensibly all of the time, but over the last three weeks have stepped it up to do the following:

-drink 3-4 liters of water a day
-make smoothie with [b]frozen spinach, bananas, some fruit (frozen berries kr frozen mango), low-fat yogurt, shredded coconut and water - that is breakfast every day[/b]
-make salad with lots of veggies and lean protein - that is lunch every day 
-walk between 3-5 miles every day 
-do yoga a few times a week
-stopped adding cream or sugar to my morning coffee

I am doing what I thought you are supposed to do to lose weight at a reasonable rate, but I have actually gained a few pounds.  WTAF??  This is extremely frustrating.[/quote]

This is probably 100-150g of carbohydrates - basically what should be your daily intake - sipped through a straw. If you are doing additional veggies at lunch and rice/potatoes/starch at dinner, that is another 150g of carbs. You are not going to lose weight that way. Drop the smoothie for hard boiled eggs or replace it with a High Protein recipe. Remove rice potatoes at dinner and replace with cauliflower rice or broccoli. [/quote]

So you think that every other effort made is mitigated by half a banana and a handful of frozen berries or mango?  I’m being serious[/quote]
