Though I am working to improve my family's health overall, I am also looking for ways to lose weight while breast feeding. I have found my milk very temperamental when it came to my diet. Whenever I have attempted to cut back my calorie intake my pumping comes to a complete stop.
Anyway, my sister recommended I try Dr Oz 2 Week Rapid Weightloss Diet because you can still eat a lot, just not certain foods. You can find more information and instructions by following the link, but the main ideas are as follows:
No dairy (except 1 cup plain greek yogurt per day)
No sugar or substitutes
No grains (except 1/2 cup brown rice per day)
No caffeine (except green tea)
No alcohol
Breakfast smoothy
1 serving of lean protein per day
Unlimited low glycemic veggies
Unlimited veggie broth
I have decided to forgo the broth and continue juicing my veggies. I will leave out the fruit for the next two weeks.
My husband is not doing the cleanse/diet, but will partly participate out of necessity. He will eat the same protein as me (maybe a larger serving), and he will eat the veggie dishes I make, but he will get his own carb/grain dish to make sure he is satisfied. I also won't regulate his beer or sugar consumption because let's he serious, I don't need that stress in my life.
This diet promises fast weight loss over the two weeks (double digits even!), but I am treating it more as a kick start to my healthier diet including fewer grains, refined sugars, and meat!
Day 1
Made a pot of tea, but Rey didn't let me drink much. Will reheat later if I feel like it.
Loved the breakfast shake, added spinach.
Ate a spinach salad with walnuts and balsamic vinaigrette (garlic, salt, pepper, EVOO, Balsamic vinegar) at like 10:30am because I was already hungry.
Lunch is brussel sprouts steamed, then sauteed in olive oil and some balsamic vinaigrette with a side of raw broccoli dipped in modified guacamole. SO yummy.
