Ideas for Ways to Add Healthy Fat to Prevent Supply Drop


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I'm on Day 1 of my Whole30 (first time) and I'm worried that I don't have enough fat planned into my diet to prevent my milk supply dropping.  I experienced a drop in my supply already a few weeks ago after I started losing weight without trying and I am very worried that it will only get worse if I don't find a way to add more fat to what I have planned for my Whole30 meals.  I am (unfortunately) a picky eater and don't eat things like avocados or a lot of nuts so I am at a loss for ways to add more fat to my meals.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

 

Thanks for your help!

Some thoughts if you are breast feeding are: eat 3 to 4 large meals a day. mini meals in between if you need them.  If you want to sip on a can of coconut milk throughout the day - then do so.

 

my go to fat source tends to be homemade mayo - even if you don't like mayo -it's a great base for making dressings, dips and sauces.

What fats DO you enjoy and what are you willing to incorporate? You can add an oil-based dressing to your vegetables or homemade mayo, add olives to your meals, top a sweet potato with coconut butter, add extra fat to your meat mix when making meatballs or burgers, add coconut milk to soups/stews. There are lots of options.
