Why Does Dieting Feel Harder After Having Children?

In this episode of Nourish & Mum, I explore why dieting so often feels harder after having children - even for mums who care about their health and genuinely want to feel better.I talk about the emotional pull between wanting more energy and confidence now, while also prioritising the needs of young children during such an intense season of life.This episode covers some of the reasons dieting can feel more difficult after kids, including hormonal changes, time poverty, sleep deprivation, decision fatigue, and the reality of how meals actually look day to day.I also talk about why struggling to start, stick to a plan, or stop thinking about food doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong - and why fat loss can still be a valid goal, even if the approach needs to change.If dieting has felt heavier, more frustrating, or harder to sustain since becoming a mum, this episode is here to help things make a bit more sense.
