I made a PDF just for you :) 5 of the main reasons' why you haven't been able to lose weight since having kids!  - Download here!   If you’ve been eating less, trying to make healthier choices, and still feel like the scale won’t move after having kids… you’re not alone. Many moms assume that weight loss after pregnancy should simply come down to calories in versus calories out. But the truth is, your metabolism after pregnancy is influenced by much deeper factors. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, and the stress of motherhood can create shifts in hormones, nutrient status, circadian rhythm, and metabolism that make traditional weight loss advice ineffective. In this episode, I’m breaking down five underlying reasons weight loss can feel stuck after pregnancy, even if you’re eating in a calorie deficit. You’ll learn why your body may actually be holding onto weight as a protective response, and what you can begin doing to support your metabolism instead of fighting against it.     Join me for 1:1 coaching -->https://functionalmom.com/work-with-me Discover the 7 blood sugar mistakes you are making causing hormone chaos Contact - > [email protected] Instagram ->@functional_mom Get my go to blue light blocking glasses for after sunset.
