The Truth About Losing Weight While Breastfeeding I Science-Backed Tips

Описание: Does breastfeeding really make you lose weight? If not, why does everyone say that it does???

In this video, I break down the science behind weight loss while breastfeeding, including calorie burn, prolactin, cortisol, estrogen, postpartum weight retention, and why the experience varies so much from one woman to the next.

I’ve personally lost over 40 pounds twice during postpartum while breastfeeding by working with the physiology of this season, not against it.

We cover:
Why breastfeeding burns calories (and why that doesn’t guarantee fat loss)
How hormones impact fat-loss responsiveness
The role of sleep, stress, and water retention
When gradual weight loss is considered safe during breastfeeding
This isn’t about restriction — it’s about understanding your body in context.
