Now that your precious baby is depending on you, there's never been a more important time in your life to be healthy. Find out our Nutritionists Top Tips here.
To Lose Weight while Supporting Your Milk Supply focus on eating Healthy Foods rather than starving yourself.
When you’re breastfeeding, your baby is 100% dependent on you to provide the nutrients they need for their healthy growth & development. You need extra nutrients to meet these needs.
You need Healthy Food for your Milk Supply and to give you Energy.
Protein is the Queen of Weight Loss. It keeps you feeling satisfied, lowers cravings for sugary foods and prevents overeating.
Protein also Boosts Your Energy and is essential for the production of Breast Milk.
Protein also Helps Your Baby Grow new cells for their Healthy Development. Growing babies use a lot of protein so you'll need to eat additional protein to meet their needs.
You need to keep hydrated to replace the fluid lost in breast milk.
Your body can actually mistake thirst for hunger, so make sure you drink enough to avoid overeating for a healthy weight.
9 cups of fluid a day is recommended for breastfeeding mums.
Avoid drinks with added sugar. Water is best. Herbal tea is also a good choice.
A Harvard Medical School report revealed eating smaller meals more often will prevent you from getting too hungry & overeating unhealthy foods.
Skipping meals can lead to unwanted weight gain as it can slow your metabolism which reduces the rate at which you burn calories.
Aim for 3 main meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) plus a morning and afternoon snack.
Limit foods with saturated fat, added salt & added sugar as they do not benefit you or your bubs health.
Enjoy foods closer to nature as opposed to processed man made foods in packets.
Also watch out for drinks that contain the same! Did you know a can of Coke contains 10 teaspoons of sugar? Try sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or lime instead.
7. How About Exercise?
Expert Postnatal Physiotherapist, Andrea Baker, says:
"Exercise after having a baby must be gradual. Walking is a safe and gentle exercise that does not compromise muscles that are weakened in pregnancy. It is best to start slowly and then gradually build up after your 6 week check."
Along with burning calories and increasing your metabolism, walking releases endorphins which are the feel good hormones our body makes during exercise. These hormones give us feelings of well-being and also relieve stress and can help avoid any postpartum blues.
If you're like most New Mums you want to eat Healthier and Exercise, but that's easier said that done. Especially when you're trying to cope with Sleep Deprivation and the constant demands of motherhood.
That's why Busy Breastfeeding Aussie Mum of 2, Lisa Bergsma, and her team of Leading Dietitians and Nutritionists, created the In Shape Mummy Health Shake, The Ultimate Superfood Meal Replacement Shake for Breastfeeding Mums.
The whole idea behind the In Shape Mummy Health Shake is to make Improving Your Health and Losing Weight Easy for Breastfeeding Mums, while supporting their baby's needs.
A Delicious blend of Organic Pea & Brown Rice Protein, 25 Vitamins and Minerals, Probiotics plus Organic Superfoods will Boost Your Energy and Support Your Milk Supply while helping you reach a Healthy Weight.
You and Your Bub will Feel Your Best with NO Artificial Nasties, NO Wheat, NO Lactose and NO Soy. It is also Vegan Friendly.
"The In Shape Mummy Health Shake is scientifically formulated to help Breastfeeding Mums get the vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and easy to digest protein they need for a Healthy Weight to Sustain Energy levels and Support their Milk Supply."

Lose Weight in less than 1 Minute a Day!
Protein is the Queen of nutrients when it comes to fat loss. Unlike many popular weight loss shakes that contain cheap whey or soy protein, we use a high quality Organic Brown Rice Protein & Organic Pea Protein which avoids digestive issues such as bloating and gas. When combined, pea and brown rice provide an optimal amino acid profile which is superior to any single plant protein source.
Probiotics promote your inner gut health, increase the absorption of nutrients, can aid digestion and strengthen your immune system which may be weakened post birth. They have even been reported to prevent and reduce mastitis (blocked milk ducts). Probiotics can also help strengthen your baby's immune system faster and have been linked to help with colic, constipation, eczema and reflux.
I am so grateful for all the people behind the In Shape Mummy Health Shake. It has helped me lose my post-pregnancy weight in a healthy way and very helpful during days where I had to wake up early for school drop offs and going to work. I've lost 15 kgs and I couldn't be any happier. I've regained my energy and have lots of time to play with my 2 kids. It's breastfeeding-friendly which is even better for me because the nutrients this Healthy Shake has is good for my little one. I feel great and motivated to work out even more when I saw my results. I'm so in love with this Healthy Shake!!! Thanks to Lisa and the rest of their team. ♥️

The In Shape Mummy Shakes helped me lose all my pregnancy weight. They also gave me the energy to look after my 3 amazing children and to work out. I found the ISM Shake really easy to use as my breakfast and it kept me full and satisfied. I was traveling a hour to school drop off every weekday morning and this was a quick and very easy way to get in a healthy energising breakfast. Before I started In Shape Mummy I was skipping breakfast all together and feeling very flat. Best of all my baby gets to enjoy all the benefits through my breast milk as well.

I tend to be wary of a lot of commercial shakes made from whey and soy proteins. Many have highly processed or artificial ingredients with too much sugar. What I like about In Shape Mummy shakes is that they are made with natural ingredients, which are so much better for your energy levels and health.
A key feature of these shakes is that they contain Organic Pea Protein. Protein is essential for stabilising sugar levels, boosting energy and most importantly, keeping us full. Organic Pea Protein provides a low allergenic vegan protein option that is more easily digested and generally better tolerated than other forms of protein.

The In Shape Mummy Health Shake is the brainchild of busy Melbourne born, now Gold Coast mum of 2, Lisa Bergsma.
After pregnancy Lisa struggled to lose her baby weight and found it so hard to cope with the sleepless nights, the round the clock feeding and the constant demands of motherhood. She could not find a solution so she started this company to help other busy mums in the same situation.
“I was constantly exhausted from my busy days and sleepless nights as a mother. I was a walking zombie with hardly any energy and I knew I needed to be healthy, especially as I was breastfeeding, but I just didn’t have time."
So Lisa assembled a team of some of Australia’s leading dietitians and nutritionists, who are also mums, to develop this amazing superfood health shake that is packed full of nutrients.
"I breastfeed both my son and daughter until they were 2 years old. I attribute not only my weight loss, but my breastfeeding success and my sanity to shakes."
