Nursing & 21 Day Fix

Let me start out by saying I am not a Doctor. As always, you should consult your Doctor with anything that concerns you, including eating plans while pregnant or nursing.

Now that I got that out of the way, I want to talk about a question that I get often...

Can I do 21 Day Fix (or CIZE or 22 Minutes Hard Corps) while nursing?

Yes. Absolutely. I am currently doing it myself!

The 21 Day Fix eating plan consists of portion control while eating clean, whole, nutritious foods. It in no prohibits you from fueling your body with the correct foods. In fact, you will be fueling it with the RIGHT foods that will in return, make the best milk for your baby!

When nursing, you need to consume an extra 500 calories a day. But that doesn't mean an extra 500 from what you were already eating! It's an extra 500 to your recommended calorie intake.

When starting the 21 Day Fix eating plan, you use your current weight to calculate the Calorie Bracket you belong in. Once you have done this, you will bump up one whole calorie bracket to include those extra 500 calories you need to produce milk.

There are two key things to make sure you don't see a dip in your milk supply.

1. Make sure you eat ALL of your containers. Don't skip any. Make sure you are spreading your containers out throughout the day and eating all of them.

2. Drink a LOT of water. I mean a TON. I aim for at least 100 oz a day. I can always tell a difference in my milk supply if I haven't had enough water.



The next question is always... Can I drink Shakeology while nursing?

Yes again! I drank it my entire pregnancy and continue to fill up on superfoods!

Why wouldn't you want to fuel your body with the best nutrition possible in order to make the best nutrition possible for your baby? It's full of vitamins, vegetables, superfoods, probiotics, and nutrients. It's all natural with no artificial sweeteners and very little caffeine.

Again, the key is to get enough calories. If you drink Shakeology while following the 21 Day Fix meal plan, this won't be a problem!

If you have any reservations about it, print out an ingredient list and take it to your doctor! I'd be happy to e-mail you one!
