As per my information not advisable. To reduce weight dieting and exercises both important. For dieting either meet nutritional expert or use principle of low calories, low carbohydrate, no carbohydrate after 6 to 7 pm, Only protein+Fibre after 6 to 7 pm, to use proper vitamins supplementation. There is one programme called meal replacement following these principles.

Dear Lybrate user When you are lactating do not try to loose weight. Then it can affect the milk production. Once you finish lactation meet a good dietitian and take a weight loss program. You can take a face to face consult with me or online consult also. Currently reduce fried foods bakery items. Have vegetable at least one cup with lunch and dinner. Have fruits 1 cup at least through the day.
