More diet stuff


In response to Illouria's comment I found this to be helpful:

Also, I try to make sure I get plenty of good fat in my diet and good clean protein (grass fed beef and chicken, cheese, etc)   Whenever I use fat in cooking or eating I make sure it's the good stuff.  I try to avoid anything with hydrogenated oils and other such nastiness. 

Anyway, in theory it's a lot easier to lose weight while breastfeeding because making milk burns about 500 calories a day.  That's a couple hours I don't have to spend on the treadmill.  That's almost enough to make me delay solid foods for her for another year or so :D
