Nutrition for Mamas

108. Why What Worked Before Kids Stopped Working


Listen Later

After having kids, a lot of moms keep trying the same things that worked before pregnancy… and wonder why nothing works anymore.

In this episode, I share the real reason your body responds differently after kids to your nutrition, exercise and habits and the simple shifts that helped me lose 60 pounds postpartum and feel healthier than ever.

This isn’t about eating less or trying harder. It’s about supporting your metabolism, hormones, and energy in a way that actually fits busy mom life.

In This Episode:
  • Why what worked before kids often stops working
  • The biggest mistake moms make with weight loss
  • Why restriction makes cravings worse
  • The power of protein, fiber, and nutrients
  • Why short workouts still work
  • How meal timing affects metabolism
  • Why sleep and stress change everything
  • How depletion affects your body for years
  • If what worked before kids is no longer working, you need a new game plan that fits this season of motherhood.
