I didn't gain much weight while pregnant. I started gaining weight since I started breast feeding because of milk consumption I guess.

5minsmadness:
Its funny how most commentators here are males when this should be a mums thread

Anyway op, breastfeeding actually burns fat. I suspect you are trying to watch your weight even while on your exclusive breastfeeding hence your increased appetite is your body's way of telling u to cut the crap and eat more until the baby stopS breastfeeding. A lot of ladies notice that the longer they breastfeed, the slimmer they become. Look it up. If u have gained any extra weight its from the pregnancy. Not the breastfeeding.

Fat syndrome ke. I am size 10 (US) and want to go back to my former size 6 UK. I am what Nigerians will consider slim but I prefer my former size6 US which is size 4UK. Now is that fat??

I want to be friends with your younger sister

I'm breastfeeding too and I've gone from 175 pounds to 131 pounds since I had my baby. (5months now)

Like someone said breastfeeding actually make you lose weight. This is because it takes an extra 500 calories per day for you to make milk for the baby.

The key is to control your appetite. When you get hungry like that, don't load your plate out of hunger. Incorporate more greens into your meal. Add more fiber to help you feel fuller sooner. Less carbs. More proteins. Drink more water. Increase your exercise routine. When you're starving hungry, try to eat slowly so that your brain has the time to release the hormones that signal your body that you're no longer starving. Ever wonder why we eat very large amounts of food and still feel like we are dying of hunger only for us to feel bloated some minutes later even though we haven't eaten anything extra. Yea the feeling of satiety takes time to kick in but usually before it comes, we've eaten way more than we need to because we rushed the meal.

These are the things that worked and are still working for me. I still have like 15pounds to lose.

I hope it works for you.

amtaken,see this post.
Yea,you will need to eat more while breastfeeding but watch the type of food you take when hungry.You don't have to take pastries,fried and fatty foods whenever you are hungry.Take vegetables and drink lots of water/pap.You really should be shedding weight while breastfeeding.You gaining weight means you are taking over and above what your baby really needs.

Thanks dearie.

As your baby grows, however, he or she will be able to nurse longer periods, up to one hour each. In addition, nursing your baby will create a special bond between you. To know more about aging and breastfeeding, browse this site.

There is a program for nursing moms called weight watchers. It works on your lifestyle and diet while breastfeeding.
