[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much horrible dietary advice here.  When I was 6 weeks postpartum, after steadily losing those first 6 weeks, I started working out. My weight loss completely stalled for a month because I was building muscle, retaining water, and shifting body composition. The scale isn’t everything. No nutritionist on this planet would give you the advice you are getting here. Really? A serving of fruit is causing weight gain?? [/quote]

Well if she’s eating 3 meals a day then one of them is likely causing the weight to stick around.  It’s not like she’s training for the Olympics at however many weeks PP!  How could someone 6-8 weeks PP be gaining so much muscle?!  It’s easy to see that the morning smoothie is a sugar bomb.

Before having kids I didn’t really have to watch my weight or what I ate within reason. Postpartum I had to have a nearly perfect diet to get the weight off.  Having something like that smoothie every morning truly would have caused me to not lose weight.

Instead OP should eat:  eggs and small piece of whole grain toast; greek full fat yogurt and strawberries; salmon and small serving of cream cheese on small slice of toast.   Etc [/quote]
