Can you really lose body fat while breastfeeding without sacrificing your milk supply? This is one of the top questions I get, and honestly, most women are still told it’s either bounce back or keep your milk. In this episode, I sit down with Gabby, our inspiring client who joined our Macro Accelerator program seven months postpartum, terrified that focusing on her body would mean losing her milk supply. Instead, she lost over twelve pounds and ten inches in sixteen weeks and kept her milk… while still breastfeeding today.

In this episode, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the exact strategies Gabby used to fuel her body, learn how macro tracking can be sustainable (even for busy new moms), and discover the mindset shifts that helped her ditch the diet culture baggage for good. We dive into what really moves the needle when it comes to postpartum fat loss without guilt, without overwhelm, and absolutely without losing the ability to breastfeed. Plus, you’ll hear about the recipes, routines, and real-life hacks that turned Gabby’s meal planning and workouts from stressful to simple, and how she found balance and confidence beyond the scale.

If you’re ready to stop picking between your goals and your baby, I promise you’ll walk away with total confidence in what’s possible for your health. Hit play and let’s dive in.
