How to stay full without overdoing it

Hey mommas are you like me that this pumping journey has left me feeling starving? Wonder why you crave so much sugar? Have you ever wondered how to not eat too much without it affecting your supply? Want to know some tips? Not only will the following be healthier, make you Fuller but also calm your sugar craving. Breastfeeding/pumping can cause moms to crave more sugar.

☆Prepare a meal that contains the following: a protein based food item, a food item that contains carbs with fiber and a food item that has a healthy fat.

●Breakfast: consume atleast 10grams of fiber( gives energy and keeps you fuller)

● Snacks: like a high variety snack bar and yogurt (keeps you fuller)

:double_exclamation_mark:Snacks: you don’t have to quit just eat after a high fiber, high protein meal with low carbs. Something like chocolate with yogurt and berries

You can also add in a high sodium electrolytes drink (keeps you hydrated and a little something besides water)

Loll this making me hungry :rofl:

The sugar craving is so real!!! I’ve been eating Cheerios with 3 spoonfuls of sugar lol. And 3 spoonfuls of sugar with each cup of coffee. So like 9 spoonfuls a day. I’m ashamed to admit it!! I really need to find a better alternative! :joy:
