***DISCLAIMER*** please talk to your doctor if you have underlying health conditions before you start any fast.

I’m breastfeeding 8 month old baby #4. My biggest problem is food addiction. Ugh! I’ve been doing IF with MyFitnessPal for 2 weeks now, and I’m down 6 pounds. It helps me limit food intake, so I will continue using both. It is extremely important to make sure you are consuming nutritious meals. You can get more food on your plate and remain within your calorie budget if you are eating healthy.
I feel you my friend. I have lost a total of 13kg already after finding the right balance in terms of eating healthy and consuming what i crave for. Hoping to lose 5more kilos to see my best body. We can do this momma!!!
I watched this and immediately subscribed. You’re kids are adorable. I’m a full time manager, mom of two, wife, and even maid 😂😂 I’m going on 8 months of breastfeeding and am wanting to loose some weight since my husband is joining the Air Force. I don’t want him looking like a snack and I look like a cup of pudding 😂😂😂 this was very helpful
I have actually utilized this unique t.co/tKObtu8FwA for several days already and also the results are fantastic. They give me plenty of strength and also reduce my desire for food, but I don`t crash when they wear off which I love, and they don`t make me jittery. I haven`t changed anything else I`m doing and also have lost 7 lbs

Same! Husband is also joining Air Force, and I'm 9 months PP and breastfeeding. This is my second baby and I still look so big. Its so hard to lose the 2nd baby weight😂😣
I’m 5 months pp and have been exclusively breastfeeding and pumping. I’ve been struggling with my weight and am also going through PPD because of how my body has changed from pre pregnancy. I have been working out when I can (3-4x per week) but my eating habits are eh. However this video was so informational and helpful. I am going to start watching my diet more along with working out. Thank you!
I still struggle with my body 2 years out. But learning to love me more every day. I tell myself that my body did amazing things, created lives, and gave these baby nutrition! It’s took over 10 for my body the change, I will give it at least that much time a grace. ❤️ you are doing amazing
This video is exact what i needed. I started gain weight postpartum so rapid, almost 2-3 pound every month. I was not good informed about intermittent fasting and breastfeeding. Now I know exactly what to do. And thank you a lot about this magic number. Now is everything clear to me🥰🥰🥰🥰
it always hard to out exercise your diet. But I think of weight loss as a journey. There will be ups and downs. Change will not happen over night. Hang in there. We go this!!
@@drjennale I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my now 23 month old and I do not understand how does nursing help you to burn 300-500 calories, because I have not lost a lb. Your video was very helpful thanks!
This is the best video I’ve ever seen regarding weight loss/breastfeeding/postpartum bodies. Loved your explanations, vlog style and suggestions. My littles are ages 2 and 3 now and I’m still struggling so much with my weight. Also, being in quarantine doesn’t help either LOL! Thank you so much for all the tips/tricks/ideas! You’re such a wonderful inspiration ❤️
i have food addiction and struggle with weight loss and have so much pain in my back and legs. 😢😢😢 hopefully i get to loss my weight and make good appearance. i want to be healthy for my daughter.
I really enjoyed your energy in this video, you’re a committed mommy and I loved learning from you. I’m 8 weeks postpartum EBF mama here as well. I do not watch my diet at all and I gained 26pounds during pregnancy and lost 19 pounds after the first three weeks. How ever my body still feels all flabby and I have a food baby belly. I would love to try that rock salt pot home remedy, but not sure if it’s too late. I definitely appreciate the information you provided based on your body and advising for mamas to get to know their body and their supply. Thank you !
I’m in pretty much the exact same boat as you right now! I’m 8 weeks postpartum, breastfeeding (I pump too) and gained about 40 lbs overall during my pregnancy and lost 20 after 2 weeks 😭 how has the weight loss been for you since you posted this comment?
I am 4 months postpartum with baby #2 and I am struggling. I have that ravenous appetite. I haven't lost any weight since 6 weeks postpartum. Unless I eat super healthy while breastfeeding, i don't loose weight. This pandemic isn't helping. Thanks for the motivation.
You are so amazing ❤️ I’m a nurse and 15 months PP and still trying to breastfeed throughout COVID. Started intermittent fasting 17 weeks ago and down 17 lb
I’ve been doing it since my Bub was two weeks and I’ve lost 20 kilos including the weight loss from giving birth. You can do it just eat the right foods and calorie count. He’s almost three months now
Does it affect your milk supply with intermittent fasting? I'd like to do IF again because it really worked with me before I got pregnant. I just want to know if it doesn't affect my milk supply. I'm exclusively breastfeeding my now 1 yr old baby.
I wish i watched this right after i gave birth and not months out. My belly is so big and im regaining weight id lost after birth. I feel so horrible and depressed
Myfitnesspal and Jillian Michaels are the best combination of tracking calories and exercise. I lost 30 pounds doing that. Just had a baby, so will be doing it again to get back to pre-baby weight.
Oh my gosh! I’ve been trying to pump after almost every nursing session and have not been able to produce more than 1 oz during those sessions it’s so discouraging! It’s so tiring and now I’m thinking of adding a middle of the night session if my son doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night to increase milk supply.
Baby is probably emptying you well and that’s why you’re not getting much after. Have you tried Hakaa on the contralateral side when baby nurses to catch letdown? It’s the easiest way I found to build a milk stash.
In my first pregnancy I was only able to produce 1oz total from my two breast after 2 months of trying. This second pregnancy I take digestive support like betaine Hcl (similar stomach acid) because I had trouble digesting meat. Now, I’m producing 2 oz in my first 3 days of pumping. You can also talk to your doctor about getting lactation medications, which I used in my first pregnancy but it didn’t work because my digestion was terrible. Hope this works for you.
I ate high protein (75-100 grams a day) and fat diet when I was pregnant, I gained 70lbs and I've lost 80, I EBF but started adding formula around 8 months because my boy is large, he took all my pregnancy fat and more, he was 25lbs at about 6 months, I'm 100lbs.
I need 1950 to maintain but with breastfeeding I need like 2,400 💀 So I lost the baby weight pretty fast lol But knowing your maintenance is soooo helpful. ❤ Thanks for sharing
My calories are in my drinks! Yes, I love Starbucks. So, I'm trying to cut that out, and focus on eating healthy, high protein food so my milk is giving my son what He needs. Oats with fresh fruit, an egg with an avocado on toast, and then dinner varies!
Hi Jenny! Great video! I was wondering if you maybe can make a video about breastfeeding in general, and maybe address some of the cosmetic concerns mothers might have, like sagging breasts or other changes. Thank you!
I'm watching this now 4 months postpartum from with my c section baby. I hope you healed well. I don't know why but when I saw you didn't get any replies I hoped that your postpartum went well and you're okay now :)
I work on the 6th floor and I find they taking the stairs up in the morning is a great workout and start to my day. I’ve fallen off with that lately and need to get back to it.
Her maintenance is 1600, but since breast feeding uses calories, she’s eating about 300 more. Most likely that still has her in about a 200 calorie deficit per day, for a total of about 1,400 calories down a week. This is a good about for a healthy rate of weight loss. She’s also decreasing her carb levels which can help. But you don’t want to cut calories too drastically while breast feeding or it will decrease your supply. Idk if this helps
I tried slowly cutting my calories down to 1900 over the summer and I almost completely lost my milk once I got that low. it took me 2 weeks to get it back up I’ve never been so panicked
Reducing calories puts your body into stress, causing cortisol to rise and your body to store fat. Balancing hormones and aligning with the natural life cycles is the best way to lose weight. I coach postpartum women on regaining their health and body and see this same thing often. Don't stress, nourish yourself and baby and you will do amazing!
I have been intermittent fasting for 5 years now so it’s just become a way of living. As long as you eat adequate calories, should not affect milk production. Everyone is different though
Hi Jenny, how about when you're feeling hungry after breastfeeding and you're in your fasting window? How dyou manage that? Thanks so much for this. been looking for some tips like this ages ago.
When I’m hungry, I usually try water or fizzy water first. I’m not super strict about intermittent fasting all the time if I am just trying to maintain weight. It’s all about consistency 👍🏼
I loved the last part. After my first son it took me a bit to really drop weight. My 2nd im older this time and I was hard on myself till I realized how long it took me so this time I'm eating better I'm drinking a ton of water and I'm doing some yoga and dancing
My breast milk would be COMPLETELY INSUFFICIENT if I ate like this and my 12 week old would be PISSED. Maybe when he starts eating other foods and breastfeeding together… but salmon salad is not going to make good, rich breast milk for me.😔
I've hardly lost weight since losing my initial.....I guess swelling after birth. People will see me with my baby and ask me if I'm pregnant again. So, even breastfeeding, I'm struggling.
I'm 7 months pregnant but feeling soooo fat and gross. I've already gained 30lbs so far. I'm hoping low carb and IF after baby comes will help shed it quickly. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for this!!! I just had my baby in May and I'm also breastfeeding. I have been struggling to get back on track 😔 Your boys are so cute. "Don't eat my donut!" 😂😂😂
How did u come up with the amount you need to maintain? Trying to figure this out cause my body is screaming for a pick me up (feels like a blood sugar crash) after breastfeeding frequently and often my calories exceed 3000 cals intuitively following bodily signals.
www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html I use that to calculate how much I need to maintain. Mine is 1500 and then I add 500 calories for breastfeed. For reference I’m 5’4 and 128 Lbs with minimal regular exercise
Much like diets in general, weight loss supplements aren’t right for everyone. However, if you are looking to shed some extra pounds and think that you can do it without affecting your baby in any way, feel free to give them a try. But again-if at all possible-we encourage you to see your OB-GYN or midwife before taking any supplements while breastfeeding. They will be able to help guide you toward a supplement regimen that is both safe and effective. If at all possible, take only those supplements which are safe while breastfeeding!
Such a great video thanks for all your tips. Also how do you get the willow to work so great I feel that I can’t get them to empty breast completely when I use them .
I was reading a lot of you Facebook group. But I still don’t think willow fully empties me. Some things that I found worked for me - containers worked better than bags - measure you nipples (your nipples do get smaller with time so it’s good to remeasure during your breastfeeding journey) - good supportive bra - try leaning back - try hand expression a little before Hope that helps!
I am 3 months pp and the weight hasnt shifted since 6 weeks T.T Thanks for your tips. much needed motivation and will start counting calorie today! Could you please advise if baby starts dropping a feed at night, do I need to pump to maintain my supply at night?
I remember when Wyatt started sleeping through the night, I would pump right before I went to bed (sometimes that midnight) and then fed him dream feed around 5 AM! That way my supply was still up and he slept longer.
I drink black coffee almost every morning 😅 because my kids are horrible sleepers. Some people have noticed that it makes baby more gasy. I have not noticed that with either kiddos. Definitely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
You didn't menstruate, you bled after giving birth which is normal, and now you're not menstruating because it takes time for your body to have a cycle after pregnancy and giving birth, some don't get it till they are done breastfeeding, it's normal and I don't think it has anything to do with not loosing weight.
It’s like how you produce urine even when you don’t drink water. As long as you’re eating enough calories within 24 hours, you should still be able to produce enough. Everyone is different though and you might be sensitive to the calorie reduction and produce less.
@@Sara-wv3ms I started using nipple guards which happen to be HUGE life savers 😭 they’ve helped my baby latch on correctly so now when I don’t use them I’m pain free
Hi Jenny, I didn't understand you, you said that you need 1600 qar to maintain your weight and you consume 1900 to lose weight? Is it because of breastfeeding. I also calculated for myself and I also need 1600 calories to maintain my weight. I'm breastfeeding an 18 month old who feeds a lot. I've been following intermittent fasting and calorie counting and I'm consuming an average of 1500 calories a day. I'm fasting 14 hours a day. I don't exercise at all. I lost 2 kgs in 4 days. But I'm feeling very weak and tired though. Am I doing it wrong. Should I consume more calories? I also have hypothyroidism. Please help me. I felt inspired to follow this diet plan after seeing your video.
I recommend talking to your doctor before doing any diet. Generally 1500 calories is too little especially while breastfeeding because you are burning more calories. That is why I eat 1900 (if not more). For sustainable weight loss, I would aim for 0.5 kg weight loss a week.
Stretch marks are scars so unfortunately no easy way to get rid of them. There’s plastic surgery or micro needling. Though micro needling does not fully take them away just possibly fade some (no guarantee).
Ug....need to lose 20-25 to get back to prepregnancy and prequarantine lol, I had the best intentions with a peaches and cream green smoothie that I made, but I couldn't do it it was too green if that makes sense
Except for short people aren't supposed to do intermittent fasting. Our metabolisms are completely different. Intermittent fasting can really mess you up for weight loss as a short person

Much like diets in general, weight loss supplements aren’t right for everyone. However, if you are looking to shed some extra pounds and think that you can do it without affecting your baby in any way, feel free to give them a try. But again-if at all possible-we encourage you to see your OB-GYN or midwife before taking any supplements while breastfeeding. They will be able to help guide you toward a supplement regimen that is both safe and effective. If at all possible, take only those supplements which are safe while breastfeeding!
You're my role model, Jenny! ♥️
Stay blessed & happy 💕
Thank you so much Anushka 🥰
Such a great video thanks for all your tips. Also how do you get the willow to work so great I feel that I can’t get them to empty breast completely when I use them .
I was reading a lot of you Facebook group. But I still don’t think willow fully empties me. Some things that I found worked for me
- containers worked better than bags
- measure you nipples (your nipples do get smaller with time so it’s good to remeasure during your breastfeeding journey)
- good supportive bra
- try leaning back
- try hand expression a little before
Hope that helps!
I am 3 months pp and the weight hasnt shifted since 6 weeks T.T Thanks for your tips. much needed motivation and will start counting calorie today! Could you please advise if baby starts dropping a feed at night, do I need to pump to maintain my supply at night?
I remember when Wyatt started sleeping through the night, I would pump right before I went to bed (sometimes that midnight) and then fed him dream feed around 5 AM! That way my supply was still up and he slept longer.
Hey lovely, can I still do the rock salt remedy? I’m over 3 months PP?
Thank you! Your explanations were so helpful, can you plse talk about caffeine and breastfeeding? Is it ok?
I drink black coffee almost every morning 😅 because my kids are horrible sleepers. Some people have noticed that it makes baby more gasy. I have not noticed that with either kiddos. Definitely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
@@drjennale Really??
Hello , thank you for sharing you are amazing !!! Well , I still breastfeed 🤱 but I wanna lose my belly , I was c section , my baby is 4 months ,
Hi ! What app do you use ?
Hi doc. Do we still need to maintain the net carbs(e.g.50-60) while achieving 1900 calories while on IF? TIA 😊
You look amazing - they’re getting so big ❤️
Thank you Anita 🥰 and they are!! I wish they would slow down!
After my delivery i had mensuration for 45 days and then i m not having it any more periods .. is this the reason for not loosing weight??
You didn't menstruate, you bled after giving birth which is normal, and now you're not menstruating because it takes time for your body to have a cycle after pregnancy and giving birth, some don't get it till they are done breastfeeding, it's normal and I don't think it has anything to do with not loosing weight.
If you're in your fasting window is lemon infused water okay to drink?
I would say yes!
Loved your video , it helped me a lot to remember how to continue
So how do you produce milk when your fasting? I think I would not have milk if I fasted.
It’s like how you produce urine even when you don’t drink water. As long as you’re eating enough calories within 24 hours, you should still be able to produce enough. Everyone is different though and you might be sensitive to the calorie reduction and produce less.
This is incredibly helpful 😘😘😘😘thanks you deserve the best
How long do you fast?
How do I know how much calories do I need to eat?
There are calorie calculators online! This differs for everyone based on your size and activity level www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html
Hey Jenny thanks for all the information I was wondering what app you use to keep count of calories?
MyFitnessPal !
Amazing video thanks
I eat 1,400 while breastfeeding and my supply still bussin
Whats your height? ❤
I have a question, I’m a first time mom, is it natural for breastfeeding to hurt?
It is common but I wouldn’t say natural. I would set up an appointment with a lactation Consultant to ensure it’s not latch casing pain.
@@Sara-wv3ms I started using nipple guards which happen to be HUGE life savers 😭 they’ve helped my baby latch on correctly so now when I don’t use them I’m pain free
What breas tpump are you using in the video please?🙂
It’s the Willow!
@@drjennale thank you!
How about ur milk supply dose get low with the diet
I have not seen a supply drop as long as my calorie deficit is not too big and I stay hydrated!
If I ate that many calories I'd be so huge. I'm 5'7 breastfeeding twins and I need to stay under 1000 calories to be healthy or I blow up 😢
What is that application used for tracking calories thanks
My Fitness Pal !
Hi Jenny,
I didn't understand you, you said that you need 1600 qar to maintain your weight and you consume 1900 to lose weight? Is it because of breastfeeding.
I also calculated for myself and I also need 1600 calories to maintain my weight. I'm breastfeeding an 18 month old who feeds a lot.
I've been following intermittent fasting and calorie counting and I'm consuming an average of 1500 calories a day. I'm fasting 14 hours a day. I don't exercise at all. I lost 2 kgs in 4 days.
But I'm feeling very weak and tired though. Am I doing it wrong. Should I consume more calories? I also have hypothyroidism. Please help me. I felt inspired to follow this diet plan after seeing your video.
I was 72 kgs and in 4 days I'm 69 kg.
I recommend talking to your doctor before doing any diet. Generally 1500 calories is too little especially while breastfeeding because you are burning more calories. That is why I eat 1900 (if not more). For sustainable weight loss, I would aim for 0.5 kg weight loss a week.
@@drjennale thanks for replying.i really appreciate it.
The kabouche drink has alcohol in it is it OK to drink while breastfeeding. Also what are the benefits of drinking that?
Love this! Thank you! How do I know what my maintenance calorie goal is?
There are calculators online. You just but in your age, weight, height, and activity level
Your kids are adorable!
Does breastfeeding increases the size of breast ? How to lose breast after birth
Yes! Engorgement can make you go up a couple sizes. Breast usually deflate after you stop breastfeeding
Jenny Le I hate big breast when we can stop a child from breastfeed to lose breastsize?
Jenny Le can we lose weight while breastfeeding? With healthy diet and with some exercise and all this will do some changes on breast :(
Thank you so much for your video ❤️❤️❤️
Please tell me how I can remove my stretch mark
Stretch marks are scars so unfortunately no easy way to get rid of them. There’s plastic surgery or micro needling. Though micro needling does not fully take them away just possibly fade some (no guarantee).
Can I ask what apps do you use to scan calories?
It's called myfitnesspal
Hi! Can I ask what brand/kind is you breastpump? Thanks you for sharing this!
I have the Willow!
Yes!! Need this so much right now being almost 5 months pp
We got this 💪🏼
Same 3 months pp need to lose these 10lbs!
This was the easiest way I’ve found to lose weight. Since I have a fairly big appetite and tend to over eat 😅
Ug....need to lose 20-25 to get back to prepregnancy and prequarantine lol, I had the best intentions with a peaches and cream green smoothie that I made, but I couldn't do it it was too green if that makes sense
Can you really drink coffee while breastfeeding?
Yes but Not more then 2 cups a day
@@vivp1464 thanks a lot, can i ask if you're Vietnamese?:)
@@quyenho1505 no italian 🙂
Except for short people aren't supposed to do intermittent fasting. Our metabolisms are completely different. Intermittent fasting can really mess you up for weight loss as a short person
Thanks for this info
What type of breast pump??
Willow!
Anyone knows the name of the app she uses
Fitness pal
My fitness pal
Do you eat anything sweet
You can do fasting while breastfeeding!?
I found that as long as I enough enough calories and drink enough water, I does not affect my milk supply
Hi what brand breast pump is that
I have the Willow!
