Does anyone have any advice for changing to a totally raw diet while

breastfeeding?

 

 

 

Yes! I decided to go all raw on July 10th, while breastfeeding a 4 month

old baby. Since then I've lost 30 pounds, but of course I also do an

aerobic walking video for a half an hour every day too.

 

I drink about 3 quarts of water per day and 1 1/2 cups of juice (celery,

carrot, spinach, apple) for breakfast and lunch which I make with a

Champion Juicer. I have an abundance of good rich breastmilk!

 

I like SIMPLE. For supper I have a huge salad with ground flax seed mixed

in avocado for my dressing. For snacks or whenever I am hungry I have

fruit and sometimes some raw nuts. That's it! Sooooo satisfying and

HEALTHY.

 

What is amazing to me is that I've discovered satiety. I thought I'd be

starving if I ate this way! What a discovery--now I don't have any food

cravings and no longer struggle with overeating.

 

I was 60 pounds overweight and the fat is just melting off of me! Half of

it is gone.

 

By the way, Baby Peter is very active, more alert and communicative than

any baby I've ever seen, sleeps great, CHUBBY and the picture of health!
