I’m going through the same thing. I way more than my pregnancy weight all because I’m breastfeeding and cannot stop eating. I am never feeling full.

Start a 4pm routine that gets you doing something else. A walk maybe or a trip to the shops, anything that will take your mind off of food

It takes time and discipline to break bad habits. I feel you because I am similar with my eating habits. Are you eating filling meals with protein? Maybe save yourself a ‘treat’ for the evening. I look forward to an evening Milo with a small chocolate and this helps me get through that evening tendency to want to snack

Cups of tea which can help you feel full

While you are breastfeeding your body is naturally going to need more fuel to keep going. Try to opt for health foods over junk food. Have a solid breakfast and lunch so come the evening your body wont be craving as much.

Make sure your eating sustainable meals during the day and maybe like 3:30 make a fruit smoothie or protein smoothie to curve your cravings?
I always have craving before lunch so instead I make chocolate protein banana smoothie.

Good luck!

Making sure you have some protein in your meals through out the day, i have found helps. Plus I add a timer…. I know it sounds weird, but I time half hour from the time I finish my meal, and keep busy during that time, normally by the time the timer goes off, I’m not hungry. If i am, have a big drink of water, because while breastfeeding, you are getting dehydrated, and sometimes our hungry feelings are because we are dehydrated. Good luck.

I am in the same boat ????. I am trying to do some walking, and once exercise is part of my routine maybe I can slowly ease off the food, so hard when feeding though

I find eating certain foods that keep me full for longer like oats, nuts and bananas. Maybe do a food plan so you can manage everyday ,

Also; water is also good when hungry and staying hydrated.

Maybe look at the type of food that is being eaten. Fill up on filling foods that sustain energy levels.

Porridge is recommended by some Dieticians. I dice a pear and add to it when it is partly cooked. I don’t completely cook the pear. I leave it crunchy and heated through. I don’t peel it either.

Sometimes try to eat some fresh fruits,healthy nuts and drink lots of water.I know i did eat lot while breast feeding.

Cant help you …i was lucky to loose all 20kg i gained during each pregnacy while breastfeeding. Maybe choose healthier snacks?

You could try eating foods that are more substantial and make you feel fuller? Foods like greek yoghurt and oats. I find that I don’t crave snacks after eating them.
