P90x nutrition plan while breastfeeding?


I am about to start the p90x fitness program and it comes with a nutrition plan that I'm not sure is good for me while nursing. It consists of more protein and low carbs. lots of veggies and 1 fruit a day with protein shakes and powder.....does this sound safe for brestfeeding? my son is 8 mths and he is eating solid foods so is nursing less and less.

You should not use any restricted diets like that while nursing without first consulting a Dr. Either ask a Dr. or Stop breastfeeding first. Keep in mind that the body will sacrifice itself for the baby's milk, so you could get malnourished. A lactating woman should take in at least 500 more calories per day than a non-lactating woman.

I am on the power 90 program now and have lost 10 lbs in two months but a lot of inches and I did not go on the nutrition plan. Due to you breastfeeding it is very important to eat for your baby not yourself. I know it may seem like a slow weight loss but you will notice a big difference in your clothes all over. I only do the program 5 days a week. Good luck to you, and congratulations on the breastfeeding, your baby and your body will thank you.
