Losing Weight While Nursing with Kate Brown

I have absolutely loved counting macros while nursing. Macros actually helped me realize how little I was eating before. I used to think I was one of those girls that couldn’t lose the weight until my baby was done nursing. WRONG! As it turns out, I was eating way too little and my body was hanging on to excess weight in response. Knowing what I know now has allowed me have such a relaxed approach to it all. My baby is nursing great, in fact, my supply has been better than it was with my other two daughters. I know my baby is getting what she needs, and by keeping up with my workouts I know I’m burning calories to be in enough of a deficit to reach my goals.
