Why Weight Loss Feels So Hard After Baby

If you’re a mama wondering why your body is stuck at a plateau, even though you’re eating less and moving more, you are so not alone.

After baby, your metabolism doesn’t just “bounce back”—and most moms I coach don’t realize that.

Here’s what’s happening:

• Your hormones shift (thanks, postpartum and breastfeeding!)
• You’re likely under-eating or skipping meals unintentionally
• You’re sleeping less, stressing more, and putting everyone else first

Sound familiar?

And here’s the kicker—your body is in survival mode. That means fat loss isn’t even on the table… yet.

Why Diets Don’t Work for Moms With Slowed Metabolisms

Trying to lose weight after baby without first healing your metabolism is like baking cookies in an oven that’s not preheated.

The recipe might be great, but your oven isn’t ready. So you either:

• Burn out after a few weeks of “clean eating”
• Or gain the weight right back when you finally eat more

This doesn’t mean you’re lazy or undisciplined. It means your body needs a new game plan—a plan that starts with a reverse diet.

What Is a Reverse Diet and Why Do Moms Need It?

A reverse diet is a strategic, gradual increase in your food intake to help your metabolism recover from long periods of restriction and stress. It’s not a “just eat more” situation. It’s a structured system designed to:

• Boost metabolism health
• Increase energy and mood
• Regulate hunger cues and reduce bingeing
• Set you up for sustainable fat loss later

Wondering how slow your metabolism might be right now? Start by using this free tool to figure out where your metabolism currently sits and whether you need to reverse first.

Reverse Dieting Isn’t Just for Bodybuilders. It’s for Burnt-Out Moms, Too.

I’ve coached so many postpartum clients who:

• Ate 1,400 calories and still gained weight
• Felt guilty eating more, even when they were exhausted
• Couldn’t understand why nothing “worked” anymore

Once they reverse dieted properly?

➡️ They built strength again
➡️ Lost inches (yes, even while increasing calories)
➡️ Felt confident in their clothes without food guilt

One of my clients went from 1,400 to 2,300 calories… and LOST inches around her waist. Another was finally able to wear shorts for the first time in years. Another saw her energy skyrocket while chasing her kiddos.

Healing metabolism isn’t just about food—it’s about freedom.
