Customer Reviews
excellent book by R. Kirkland
This book has been very helpful for me to lose weight while breastfeeding. I had always been a petite 120 lb. woman until I got pregnant, and gained 43 lbs. I lost 17 lbs. the first month of breastfeeding after my son was born, but then I gained back 12 lbs. I was very frustrated because I have always been fit and healthy. I had been under the false pretense that I could now eat whatever I wanted and still lose weight while breastfeeding. Unfortunately this was not the case for me.
So, when I discovered this book about eating well and losing weight while breastfeeding I thought I would give it a chance. The thing I love most about this book is that it makes it easy to customize a healthy diet for your individual goals. It gives you a healthy weight range for all shapes and sizes of women. There are so many diets out there that lump everyone into the same category and just say how many calories to eat, or to cut out fat, or to cut out carbs. This book explains how to eat the correct number of calories for your individual body size without cutting out fat or carbs (but rather eating everything in moderation).
I also love the recipes! They are healthy and tasty. Imagine that. Quite contrary to the philosophy that if it tastes good, spit it out.
I recommend this book to anyone who really wants to make a life change and get back on track to a healthy weight while making sure to eat all of the healthy nutrients that your baby needs.
Great information by R. Pearson
Very helpful nutritional information for breastfeeding moms. I finally got the answers I’ve been looking for.
Good Information by sSWA
I first read this book years ago when I had my second child and wanted to drop the weight and still nurse. I found it had great information and was one of a kind at that time. Now I am done with nursing and got the up-dated version for a friend. I know she will love it too.
So much more than another dieting guide by Lisa Trost
This book offers you a nutritional guide to eating. Not only does it offer great advice, but it also tells you why we should be eating certain foods. It gives eating and breastfeeding a whole new aspect!
