I’m with you on needing to keep weight on, Mayo and Lindsey. I use protein powder in oatmeal or I eat eggs/greens with higher protein sprouted grain toast and avocado or olive oil after M/BODY workouts. I also limit my workout to 30-45 min most days. I try to do 60 min once a week max. I also use a variety of seeds - soaked in hot water or warm soy milk with oatmeal - chia, flax, hemp. I snack on nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, fruits between meals. Nut butters in smoothies or with fruit too. I do mostly plant based except for eggs and fish - I aim for 20-30 gm protein with each meal. I also try to eat three meals and 2 to 3 snacks every day. I’ve managed to maintain a strong, healthy body with these steps. And, like Lindsey said, lactation brings a whole other level of energy and fat needs. I’d recommend talking to a dietician if you are breastfeeding and losing weight. To be sure you are well nourished and able to make rich milk for your little one. Lots of love from Texas!

Great for recovering from illness. I’m coming out of a bout with COVID and this helped me a lot. Thank you!

Sending love and support as you journey through this hard time. Your intentional choice of gentleness is beautiful. Have you heard the song, “Stay Gentle” by Brandi Carlyle?
