3.0 out of 5 stars A lifesaver for breastfeeding moms wanting to lose weight, Mar 21 2000

By

Jennifer (Muncie, IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eat Well, Lose Weight While Breastfeeding: Complete Nutrition Book for Nursing Mothers, Including a Healthy Guide to Weight Loss Your Doctor Promise (Paperback)

I was thrilled to find a book that addresses the needs of breastfeeding mothers who are interested in losing weight. Althought I breastfed my first daughter I did not experience the weightloss I anticipated. With our second daughter I wanted to find out what I could do to lose weight safely yet not compromise the health of the baby. This book describes a gentle weight loss plan. Instead of a diet, I'd call it a way eating for life. I have learned the value of nutrition and am enjoying foods I never thought I'd be eating. The recipes are very helpful and easy to prepare. A must for busy moms. I now weigh 6 lbs less than I did when I got pregnant with my first daughter three years ago. Thank you Eileen!

2.0 out of 5 stars NO MAGIC BULLET, May 21 2004

This review is from: Eat Well, Lose Weight While Breastfeeding: Complete Nutrition Book for Nursing Mothers, Including a Healthy Guide to Weight Loss Your Doctor Promise (Paperback)

I bought this book looking for pointers on how to take advantage of my increased metabolism while breastfeeding to drop some baby pounds, but there are no magic bullets here. There is some interesting stuff about special nutritional needs while breastfeeding and lots of discussion about certain nutrients. But if I followed the diet advice in this book, I'd gain weight for sure! Just way too much food. It's just an outline of a sensible balance diet not unlike what is recommended during pregnancy. I'd have to say the book's title promises enlightenment but really doesn't deliver.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent resource, Feb 7 2004

This review is from: Eat Well, Lose Weight While Breastfeeding: Complete Nutrition Book for Nursing Mothers, Including a Healthy Guide to Weight Loss Your Doctor Promise (Paperback)

As a lactation consultant, I get a lot of questions about dieting. Dieting is not something you want to do while breastfeeding-- and frankly, nto something you want to do to your body at all. (Remember the rule-- if you can't do it while breastfeeding then maybe it isn't healthy to do anyway!)

Don't diet-- change your lifestyle.

This book is perfect for mothers looking for sound advice about how to lose weight, while breastfeeding and while not.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book was not helpful for me at all
After giving birth to my baby and even though I was nursing her around-the-clock for almost all of the first year, I remained 20lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight. Read more
