131. Fat Loss While Breastfeeding: How Gabby Lost 12lbs While Maintaining Her Milk Supply
Can you really lose weight while breastfeeding without risking your milk supply? If you’re overwhelmed by the bounce-back pressure and terrified you’ll have to choose between your body and your baby, this episode is for you.
I sit down with Gabby, a past client of our Macro Accelerator program who lost over twelve pounds and ten inches in sixteen weeks while maintaining her milk supply—yes, for real.
We dive deep into PCOS, irregular cycles, and the fear we all feel around dieting during postpartum. Gabby and I break down the biggest myths about carbs, fats, and fueling your body for hormone health. You’ll hear how she shifted her mindset, built her plate (and her life) so the changes actually stuck, and what sustainable steps made all the difference, including how to balance imperfect days, navigate family meals, and finally break up with bounce-back culture.
If you’re ready to stop picking between your goals and your baby, I promise you’ll walk away with total confidence in what’s possible for your health. Hit play and let’s dive in.
If this resonates with you and you’re ready to have the body you want and the energy you need, all while eating the foods you love, come join us inside The Macro Accelerator. Apply here: https://mindin-my-wellness.captivate.fm/macroaccelerator
