Hi Sonia . I just gave birth and i plan on going on Atkins (high protein diet ) to shed the pounds. Can i do Atkins while breast feeding?

Hi! According to Dr Atkins book, you can't do Atkins while breast feeding. Lots of mothers tell me that breast feeding actually helps a little in the weight loss because it increases the Basal Metabolic Rate. Try exercise and yoga.Enjoy this time with your baby.....it can be stressful trying to adjust AND lose weight at the same time. Don't be too hard on yourself
