I also am the founder of Milk Dust Lactation Protein Powder, and I created Milk Dust as an amazing, nourishing, plant-based protein powder that is formulated to increase milk supply, supply important nutrients for breastfeeding moms, and also stop sugar cravings to help breastfeeding mamas lose weight after pregnancy. It has all the essential vitamins and minerals you need to keep your milk supply up and meet your nutritional needs as a postpartum and nursing mother. I highly recommend adding Milk Dust to your diet, so you can ensure you have everything you need to support your breastfed baby!
"Milkdust saved my postpartum season!!! I saw ads and took a chance because I was desperate. I started working out consistently and eating very clean at 6 weeks postpartum (second kid) but I kept gaining weight instead of losing it! I was so discouraged and ready to try anything…so I bought milkdust protein powder and the metabolism boost. I started using it as a meal replacement because I wasn’t scared my supply would suffer and in one month I lost 5 pounds and the weight keeps coming off! My supply is great and I am so thankful I found milkdust. It will forever be in my postpartum essentials!"

I am also specialized in weight loss while breastfeeding, and I've created a lot of amazing, natural and nutrient-dense products that are specifically designed to help new mamas increase milk supply, speed up metabolism and lose weight.
Meet GSLIM: Safe GLP-1 Daily for Breastfeeding Mamas
GSLIM combines the power of all of these ingredients, plus a few other powerful nutrients to act as a natural GLP-1 medication. It is really exciting that breastfeeding mamas can experience the weight loss benefits of GLP-1 medications, without the major side effects.
I am super GSLIM to come out because I know how difficult losing weight while breastfeeding is. Unfortunately, cravings and hunger can be extremely difficult to fight, and with the fluctuations of hormones your body often times just wants to hold on to fat gained during pregnancy.
Supplements are an amazing option to help your body let go of fat. Why not help your metabolism speed up with Milk Dust Metabolism, while also cutting hunger and cravings with GSLIM. Combine these with our new, CLEANTOX or Milk Dust Lactation Powder, and you will supercharge your weight loss goals with the power of natural ingredients, nutrients and antioxidants.
If you need a quick detox, that is safe while breastfeeding to help you lose the last few pounds, while also protecting your milk supply, grab the new CLEANTOX, a super greens, vanilla drink you can blend and drink up on the go. Detoxing postpartum is extremely helpful to getting yourself back on track, getting off sugar and balancing hormones.
How to make a meal plan for weight loss while breastfeeding
There are some key factors that will ensure you create a successful meal plan for breastfeeding and weight loss, so your milk supply won't go south. Here are the factors to follow:Never reduce calories dramatically. Instead, reduce empty calories
This means that you want to replace foods, rather than eliminate snacks and meals. For example, if you normally crave sugar and sweets in the late afternoon, rather than having your usual cookie, grab a delicious Milk Dust Bar that tastes like dessert, yet fills your body with hand-picked nutrients for breastfeeding mamas. If you love dessert at night, try making an oreo lactation shake, so you can replace the normally empty calorie meal with a protein shake full of milk-boosting herbs, vitamins and minerals to nourish your body instead.Focus on protein and fiber at every meal and snack
Protein and fiber together ensure that you will feel full and satisfied. By ensuring you have a protein, veggie and/or fruit at every snack and meal, you will be filling your body with nutrient-dense calories that also fill up your stomach. Protein and fiber are really important to combatting the intense hunger that can be really difficult while breastfeeding.

Don't do a lot of cooking while breastfeeding and caring for a new baby. Get frozen vegetables, make lots of smoothies, use our healthy lactation bars, and batch cook your proteins.

Planning your meals with fast, and healthy options can really impact the success of your breastfeeding meal plan. Aslo read: The Healthy Breastfeeding Snack List For Milk Supply + Weight LossWhat foods are important to eliminate in your breastfeeding meal plan for weight loss?
There are some foods that are important to eliminate in your meal plan. These foods lack nutrients, and ultimately offer empty calories. These are also foods that will negatively affect your blood sugar. Balancing blood sugar is really important to ensuring that you don't have intense cravings, while also keeping hormones level. Blood sugar can impact hormone levels, which can also impact milk supply levels.The big list of foods to never have in your breastfeeding diet plan for weight loss:
- Ice cream (all fat and sugar - don't do it! Try this snickers milkshake instead!)
- Chips and crackers (full of carbs and calories - no nutrients)
- Cheese (just adds extra fat and calories. Not ideal for weight loss)
- High-fat meats (lean meats are great, extra fat is not for weight loss)
- Candy and chocolates (these add sugar and fat, with no nutrients!)
- Deep fried foods (very high in fat and low in nutrients)
- Processed foods (look at ingredient lists for chemicals)
