Pregnancy and/or breastfeeding can leave you with the problems that accompany hormonal imbalances. These problems may include slow weight loss, loss of energy, depression, increased stress and delay of menstruation. The Post Pregnancy Hormonal Balance Meal Template is meant for those women who are both post- pregnancy and post-breastfeeding. This Template is meant to help you begin balancing out your hormones and to start feeling more like yourself through good nutrition. Keep in mind it isn’t only dietary intake to take into consideration. It is important to exercise regularly (including both aerobic and weight training), drink plenty of water, limit caffeine, limit toxins, get plenty of sleep and take a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement. This Template guides you to eating consistently throughout the day and incorporates food products and beverages that are believed to help balance hormone levels. It is chock full of healthy foods that can naturally help to balance hormones such as omega-3 fatty acids, complex carbs, fruit and veggies. It is highly recommended that you speak with your physician first before starting any type of exercise and/or weight loss program after pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.
