QQ.. I just had my first baby, and although I am nursing Ican’t lose weight. Is there any diet that can help me get rid of those extra pounds? New Mom in Westchester

AA.. Drs. Dean Raffelock and Robert Rountree, authors of A Natural Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Health, say:

“Contrary to popular belief, not all research shows a differ-ence between nursing and bottle-feeding mothers when itcomes to weight loss. Women are often told that they will losepregnancy weight faster if they nurse, but some studies showthat nursing mothers actually hold on to excess weight a bitlonger, because they need that extra five or so pounds to makesufficient milk for their babies.

“Nursing mothers need about 500 extra calories a day. Thebasic postpartum diet is a simple but healthy and wholesomeone. It can be best summed up by the following guidelines:

• Eat foods that supply your body with essential fattyacids, such as fresh salmon, nuts, and seeds.

• Eat whole, preferably organic, foods—whole grains,fresh vegetables and fruits, unprocessed meats,nuts, and seeds, for example.

• Avoid refined sugars and flour, during pregnancyand postpartum.

• Eat foods that supply your body with antioxidants(mainly fresh fruits and vegetables).

• Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly.

• Eat a source of nutrient-laden fiber, such as groundflaxseeds.

“If you follow the postpartum diet guidelines, your body will tell you how much to eat and what foods to include. You won’tneed to count calories or measure out servings to ensure thatyour baby is getting what he/she needs and that your nutrient stores are being built back up. Don’t try to increase your fatintake, but do pay attention to the type of fat you are eating.”

If you would like to learn more on how a mother can maintainher well-being, before and after birth, as well as ensure herbaby’s good health naturally, refer to A Natural Guide to Preg-nancy and Postpartum Health, by Dean Raffelock and RobertRountree. With busy mothers in mind, this book is designed sothat you can benefit from each chapter individually or thumbthrough the index to target specific problems and solutions ifyou don’t have time to read the entire book or chapter.
