Just how important is post-partum protein REALLY? Should it really be your focus?

Send us Fan MailIn the most waffliest of waffling episodes I have EVER recorded (and I have done my fair share over the past years) I talk about the importance of protein postpartum.Or actually, I talk about many things and point out that protein isn't the be-and-end all that people claim it is..Or at least it shouldn't the main goal if your increase your calorie consumption.We often tend to focus on the wrong things when it comes to nutrition and the clue is pretty much in the title there "NUTRITION"..should be about nutrients, rather than macros.Anyways, that point takes me 20 minutes to get to..but at least I also include some information on the type of nutrients people often forget about (Like Choline) in the run-up to it.A few links; The Study I mentioned that shows that a lot of breastfeeding women do not increase their calorie intake by the recommended amount, compared to women who use formula (IOW, this is something to pay attention to)And a very handy spreadsheet by the BDA (British Dietitian Association) with some awesome information.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!
