Okay, chickies! I think I'm back on track now. Day 1 was rough, and I don't want to even count it cause I ate ice cream. Day 2, I crushed a whole can of mixed nuts, 21 pieces at a time. Day 3 was better, I didn't have any unnecessary snacks, and i had sunflower seeds (shells on) for a bedtime snack. I love them and they take forever to eat. today will be an awesome day as well
I am a horrible exerciser, as in, I don't do it, ever. Thinking about going for a nice long walk today. My boyfriend was supposed to get me Wii Fit for xmas, but the video game store where he has credit has been out of stock. It was going to be my method for jumpstarting an exercise regimen in '09. I hope we can get it soon...everyone I know who has it says its awesome.
Well, hope you all do well today, stay strong and inspire eachother

Djmommy, what kind of protein powder? List the ingredients. It may be OK. Remember we don't fret about carbs, just about ingredients.

So, I'm getting myself ready to start again. Anybody have any idea what I should add and how many of them since I'm breastfeeding?
I definitely need to get my sweet tooth under control. The holiday season was a bad one.

Is there section of the book that discusses pregnancy/breastfeeding on the beach? Everything I know about sb I learned from being a member of their online program for 6 months. I know you will need to consume more dairy than the rest of us, possibly more protein. In addition, it would be wise to stick with at least 1 serving each of fruit and starch daily. When I was breastfeeding, I remember that it was recommended that I consume 500 more calories per day than normal, to make sure I produced enough milk, and had enough energy to burn. Hope this helps! and talk to your dr. just to be sure

Unfortunately, my doctor is not a breastfeeding advocate He isn't one to consult on issues like this.
I talked to my La Leche League consultant and she wasn't sure of the specifics for South Beach but gave me some calorie parameters to work with. We evaluated my current activity level combined with height and weight and found that I would lose and maintain milk production on 2500-3000 calories per day. Like I mentioned in the daily chat, I'm going to aim for 2500 and see the outcome - if it starts to effect my milk supply, I'll move up.
I'm not sure about there being a chapter on pregnancy and breastfeeding. I wish there was - creating a plan for pregnancy was a bit of a guessing game but it worked out well in the end (I only gained about 12 lbs. and am already down 12)
I'm going to try and avoid large amounts of dairy - it made DS1 extremely gassy. I had a glass of milk last night and an hour or two later, DS2 was not a happy camper. He seemed to be gassy as well. I usually try to make up the lack of dairy with a cow's milk replacement, though.
ETA:
Ruth, I know that OP Phase 1 isn't recommended, but I definitely need to avoid sweet stuff for awhile. I thought about modifying phase 2 to include fewer servings of fruit, a serving or two of grains per day, more protein and a bit more "dairy". Thoughts?

Hello Everyone! I'm thinking of starting SB tomorrow. I have done atkins before and I'm not going back there. I have had success in the past few months with calorie counting but I seem to have plateaued and can't comfortably cut my calories back much more right now so I think I should do SB and focus on diet content instead of amount.

Zeff- can you tolerate yogurt? I saw a recipe for making it in the crock pot that seemed really easy and way cheaper than buying individual containers. I'll try to find the link and post it.

zeffryn-
I looked on kellymom.com (a great bfing site) and here is the recommendation for doing a low carb diet"
Quote:
Some tips for moms who wish to try a low-carb diet:
* Wait until baby is at least 2 months old before dieting; waiting until after baby starts solids (6+ months) should be even better.
* Drink enough water to avoid dehydration.
* Avoid a sudden decrease in caloric intake. Start gradually.
* Keep an eye on your caloric intake. Most moms should avoid dropping below 1800 calories per day.
* Most sources recommend that nursing mothers avoid Phase I of the diet, and instead start with Phase II.
* Watch for a diminished milk supply. Keep an eye on baby's diaper output and weight gain.

The first two weeks are low carb but after that it is about choosing good carbs.
