Nursing and Need to loose

[Ahsiek]

Hello Folks and Happy New Year!

I began Atkins in May 03 and by Dec. 03 had reached my goal. However, In Jan. 04 I became pregnant and gained about 24lbs that I desperately want to loose. Currently, I am nursing and is afraid to start this WOE again. However, after reading all of the post in this section I feel more confident of starting again with phase 4. Is there anything else that I should know about?

Also did anyone start with phase 2/3 while nursing? If so how did that work for you?

Looking forward to loosing again.

Brook had a post up about starting indcution while her youngest was nursing as soon as she wasn't the child primary food source after she consulted with her docs and the childs doc but I don't know if it is still here with all the culling that has happened since then.

Talk with your doc and your chiklds doc about her nutritional needs and when she is switching you can too if they give you the green light

Ahsiek, I would stick to the maintenance phase if I were you, I see your baby is only 4 months old. I waited until my little one was 2 1/2 before starting induction, she was only nursing 1-2 times a day and was eating lots of solid foods at that point. Anyway, good luck to you and kudos for giving that baby the best nutrition there is!

Wow, you mean you nursed for 2.5 years?

I haven't started any phases yet. However, I have been cutting back and as of last week I lost 2lbs. so maybe I will just stick to what i have been doing until I am no longer nursing.

Thanks for the tips.
