Breastfeeding And Weight Loss

Filed under: Weight Loss Facts — @ 8:15 am on October 20, 2005

A vast majority of women gain weight while pregnant. Most are stuck with at least 10 unwanted lbs even after the baby is born. The easiest way to shed those extra pounds is by breastfeeding your baby.

Breastfeeding burns an extra 500 calories per day. This is equivalent to an hour of moderate exercise, or a big cheeseburger!

Assuming you don’t eat more than you did before the pregnancy, those extra pounds will just gradually melt off while you are breastfeeding your baby.

I gained 35 lbs during my pregnancy, and was left with 20 pounds of excess fat after my daughter was born. I breastfed my daughter for a year, and lost all that fat without even trying - just due to the calories burned by breastfeeding.
