So I had a baby 4 weeks ago and at the moment I m 2 stone over what's ideal for me (I m about 6lb overweight but I know that in itself won't be good for my body) , I had no plans originally to even consider a diet this early but the stress of labour during covid and a bad diet in the 3rd trimester and I ve ended up with a high blood pressure and an iron deficiency so the changes can't really wait if I m to get off the medication I m on asap.
Problem is to even lose half a pound a week it's suggested I cut to about 1600 calories and in a honestly a month ago I must have been having 2500 a day so combined with looking after a newborn, I m struggling not to feel sluggish 3 days into this diet, does anyone have any advice on how I can keep this up?
