Gracie, Optifast is definately a no no for pregnant and breastfeeding mums. Not only becasue its a very low calorie diet but if taken 2 or 3 times a day it increase the levels of something in your blood which can be toxic to bub.
Ange, looks like a lot of us here are thinking that calorie counting is a good option.
Arte, I just looked in my calorie counter book and it says to add an additional 500 calories per day for breastfeeding mums. Also the daily calorie alowance for weightloss is 1200-1500 calories so you could have 1700 - 2000 calories per day and still lose weight!
Amy, I'm soo the same. I was mean't to start my diet on Monday, but I've caved pretty much every day. I HAVE to get on the wagon today! And yes, I've decided that I am going to allow myself some chocolate once per week only. And any other time I have a craving it's a cup of jarrah Chocolatte' for me.
