Listener Question:

I want to know how I can safely do the autoimmune protocol if I am breastfeeding and also don't want to lose weight. It seems every time I go even a bit lower carb at all, I lose weight I don't have to lose. My nausea gets worse and I feel like I'm starving to death no matter how much meat, fruit and veg I eat. 

I eat a lot of nuts and avocado to try to keep up the calories, but it isn't always enough. I have a harder time falling asleep and wake up hungry in the night and can't fall asleep without eating something. It makes it feel impossible to make changes. I don't know what to eat and it's really stressful.

Stacy and Dr. Sarah have talked a lot recently about weight discrimination as it relates to bigger bodies. Stacy feels it's very important to underline that this is a safe and inclusive space for all body shapes and sizes.
