Breastfeeding and Atkins

slimpinky · 03-14-2003, 05:44 AM

I have a 3 month old baby and would like to start Atkins, tried it 2 years ago but gave up. Does anyone know if low-carbing would affect breast milk?

As far as I know you should not do Atkins while breastfeeding. The baby will need the carbs. Breastfeeding is a great weight loss program by itself! When I breastfed my three kids, that was the easiest weight to lose!

Good luck!
