6 Week Postpartum Diet Plan

I cannot believe it has been almost 6 weeks since I have given birth to my little man cub. What a fun and awesome few weeks it has been-possibly the best of my life! Though its been a little hectic, I have been very diligent in making sure that I eat only the best foods for my son since I am breastfeeding, and for myself to allow my body to heal and to bounce back successfully.

I have stayed on a diet plan for the most part and it has worked greatly for me! It is not my own diet plan, but it is certainly a good one. Once I get the clear to start working out again, I will be creating my very OWN diet plan to cater to breastfeeding while burning calories-WHILE GAINING MUSCLE! Yes, you heard right! Sounds incredibly hard, but I know that anything is possible and I accept the challenge.

My goal is to NOT be SKINNY! I want my muscles and curves back that pregnancy hormones softened and that breastfeeding has taken away. It is amazing the amount of calories burned while feeding!

Here is the 6 week diet plan that I have been following for my 6 weeks postpartum period while I am unable to workout. I did not follow the plan to a T, sometimes I would add my OWN recipes into it, but for the most part I followed its guidelines. My results are pretty incredible! I gained 30lbs during pregnancy and I am actually now below my pre-pregnancy weight. I weighed 150lbs when I gave birth and now I am 115lbs roughly. Hoping to gain muscle mass asap!

Here are my photo results:
