So... I started back on this diet a little over a week ago. I lost about 3 lbs and then my daughter started getting REALLY fussy. She literally cried all day last Friday and would barely eat or sleep. Well, I looked into her symptoms and it looks like she may have reflux. She has all but one of the signs of it. Since I'm breastfeeding, there is a list of foods that I can't have (or shouldn't have) that would help with her reflux if I didn't have them. I can't have any milk products (including cheese), oats, or hardly any of the fruits and vegetables. Well, that covers almost all of the things on Phase I and basically leaves very few things that I can eat.
Therefore, it looks like I won't be able to do this diet for a while... unless she outgrows the reflux or I stop breastfeeding. BTW.. I plan on breastfeeding her until she's 1 year old. Who knows though.... maybe since I have a limited diet and I'm not allowed to have any fatty foods, I'll lose the weight. We'll see. Good luck to everyone else tho.
