Why the 6 week delay?
We recommend members consult their doctor or health visitor for advice before beginning to slim after giving birth. As long as they are happy for you to start slimming (this is usually after your 6 week post-natal check up), we will be delighted to help support you in reaching your weight loss goals. And, breastfeeding uses up a significant number of calories, so as long as youre eating a healthy diet, breastfeeding can certainly help you lose weight. While natures on your side, you dont need the help of a slimming website! We do suggest new mums increase their Healthy Extra choices whilst breast feeding. The number of Healthy Extra choices will vary depending on the age of your baby and this is all explained in our Food Optimising and breast-feeding fact sheet, which you will have when you join bodyOptimise. Well see you in 6 weeks time!
