South Beach Diet A to Z: Nursing Moms

Nursing Moms
Nursing women should not follow Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet; they should instead use the healthy eating guidelines set forth in Phase 2 and Phase 3. They should also add the consumption of three cups of 1-percent or fat-free milk per day to the meal plan while breastfeeding. Please consult your physician before changing your diet if you are pregnant or nursing.
