What can I do to lose weight, fix my hormones, and improve my gut health after being 8 months postpartum with my 4th baby, who is 6 years old, while breastfeeding? I've never been one whose body lost weight while breastfeeding, and this time I'm even gaining weight. I've tried fasting, cutting sugar out, and lowering carbs, but nothing has worked. I'm desperate as I'm the biggest I've ever been, have chronic back issues, feel sluggish and exhausted, and have little motivation. I need to keep up with my 7, 5, 3-year-olds, and the baby. I also make a lot of homemade food and garden. Please help!
