Start getting back into exercising- If you had a healthy pregnancy and led a pretty active lifestyle before, you
can ease back into your favorite activities whether that’s cycling, yoga or playing a team sport. It’s an excellent
way to lose baby weight while also improving your mood.
Work out with your baby- Taking them along with you on your walks and maybe even incorporating them
(safely) into your routine. You could go for a brisk walk with your little one strapped into their stroller, or hold
your baby securely in your arms for an extra challenge during squats or lunges.
Breastfeed- Believe it or not, breastfeeding can burn up to 670 calories per day thanks to its ability to rev up
your metabolic process. That doesn’t mean you should eat extra large portions to replace those calories. Instead,
eat fresh, whole foods keeping the nutritional needs of your baby in mind — the quality of your breast milk is
heavily influenced by what you eat.
Meal Plan
We recommend the following plans. We like to keep things simple and our meal plans are structured to make your life easier.
Each meal plan has the right amount of meals and calories according to your situation. Make sure not to skip any meals or snacks.

your Meal Replacement Shake followed by the Tea.
Shake Tea
* 8 oz. of Water *8 oz of Water
*2 Scoops of Formula 1 *1/2 Teaspoon of Herbal Tea
(You can mix the flavors) *Add 2-3 capfuls of Herbal Aloe
*1 Scoop of Protein Drink Mix (Use the same cap the Aloe bottle brings)
*Tip for Breastfeeding Mom: Replace water with almond milk or add oatmeal to shake to
help with milk production.
Healthy Shake Ideas
IMPORTANT!
These enhanced shake recipes are recommended for breastfeeding moms. The extra calories and some of the ingredients are known to help with
milk production. Some moms have turned to lactation enhancements (galactagogues) to increase breast milk production. Studies are mixed as to
their effectiveness, but each mom should inform herself and make the appropriate choice for her breastfeeding journey. Teas, cookies, and
smoothies containing herbs like fenugreek or alfalfa, or common ingredients like flaxseed meal, oats, and brewer’s yeast, are used as natural lactation
enhancements. Be sure to consult with your doctor or lactation consultant before utilizing these products to ensure their safety and efficacy.

MEAL PREP
PORTION CONTROL 101
If you prep your meals before reaching the hunger stage, you are much more
likely to stick to the plan. Here are a few tips to make meal prepping easy.
MAKE A PLAN - Make a list of your favorite healthy foods, choose simple recipes that
can be made quickly or in bulk, and decide what you’ll eat for every snack and meal.
LOOK FOR SHORTCUTS - Frozen veggies can be substituted for fresh, & convenience
items like pre-washed salad greens or pre-cut vegetables can really save you prep
time. Whole cooked chickens or ready-seasoned meats are also great timesavers.
STICK TO YOUR GROCERY LIST - Don’t let junk food sneak into your shopping cart.
Not having it in the house means not having to use your willpower to avoid it.
KEEP SNACKS SIMPLE - Save time by choosing snacks that don’t require a lot of time
to put together. Fresh fruit, hard-boiled eggs, and pre-cut veggies with prepared
hummus are great choices. (See our snack list for more ideas)
COOK FOODS ALL AT ONCE - Roasting vegetables, sweet potatoes, and even chicken
breasts all at once will save you time, and cut down on your utility bill. Imagine…all of
your side dishes for the week…ready in about 30 minutes!
MIX THINGS UP - It can be tempting to just eat the same meals every day, but you’ll
eventually get bored. We recommend at least two lunch options. This can be as
simple as choosing different proteins for your salads each day, or eating chicken with
vegetables three nights of the week, and fish or tofu with vegetables the other two.
INVEST IN CONTAINERS - It’s a good idea to choose one container type and buy
several that stack and store neatly. If you choose plastic containers, make sure they
are BPA-free and that they won’t melt in the microwave or dishwasher. Sturdy Pyrex
dishes with lids are also great as are Mason jars. If you decide to go all-in on the meal
prep lifestyle, you might want to think about getting an insulated bag to carry your
meals everywhere you go.
