I used a CAD type plan while breastfeeding many, many years ago. I had no trouble with it. Childbirth, according to the Hellers, can intensify carbohydrate cravings and turn someone who never craved carbs into a carb addict and increase the addiction level of a present carb addict. This might have happened to you.

I know it's going to be tougher now but remember if you can get through three full days, you will once again have control. Do have the 2 CMs and CS and your RM. Try to find the optimum spacing to control your appetite and make you feel good. Eat enough when you do eat. Don't worry about the weight right now. Try to get your addiction back under control. Once you are back in control, the weight will come off in it's own time. You still have hormones from childbirth that encourage your body to hold on to the weight too. First you need to get your body on an even kneel and in balance. Continue your pregnancy vitamins. Give yourself time.
