Before my first pregnancy, and again before my second, I went deep into ancestral and traditional ways of eating, and I leaned into them hard.
In my second pregnancy, I gained over 15 pounds more than I did in my first. The old me would have panicked. This time I didn't, because I knew I was fueling my body right. My son was born 8 lbs 4 oz, just like my first, and he has thrived ever since.
I kept eating this way after he was born, because when my body is truly nourished, it turns on fat burning while I'm breastfeeding. That's why, at 4 months postpartum, I'm only 16 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight, without workouts or calorie counting.
That's what I'm going to teach you: how to nourish rich, fatty milk for your baby and turn on fat burning for yourself.
