MLM realization

I am against mlms and it was not because I didn't make money with them. 

I did. 

It's because I realized the bottom line of the mlm structure is recruiting others to this life of continually selling and recruiting and making money off of others. It was not pleasant. It was not fulfilling. I loved the relationships, but it seemed they were only based on success in the business. To maintain respect from 'leaders', you had to continually prove yourself by selling and recruiting. 😣😞😢

The toxic positivity is damaging and hurtful. 

My experience with Beachbody went from amazing to horrible. I lost a significant amount of weight by working out and eating healthy (imagine that) and had great local support because it was kinda new in my area back then. Then it started getting worse because people were being recruited left and right and it seemed that the support was no longer there. If you weren't on that person's 'team' (or downline) then you didn't matter. It became about ranks and points and advancements and all business. The honest friendships and support system had changed and I no longer felt comfortable inviting people to it. I was still making money, but I left it.

However, I was in deep and I now recognize it as borderline brainwashing---- I had correlated my weight-loss with the business and given so much credit to my weight-loss to the products and not enough credit to myself. We were told things like "You are a walking billboard for the products" and "be a product of the product so people ask what you are doing". When I stopped the business, I also stopped the working out part because it had become such a negative experience for me. I gained ALL the weight back and then some.

Years later, I desired to lose weight but because of the brainwashing, I couldn't see any other way than with Beachbody. So I signed back up with a different sponsor hoping for a different experience. It was still the same. They constantly mention ranks and money and it just felt fake. Like I was another number helping someone else rank advance.

Since stopping, I have realized how predatory and selfish mlms are. For every 'successful' person, there are countless under them that are NOT making any money. In all mlms, the products are WAYYYYY overpriced and are mediocre quality. You don't make money in mlm unless you sell products and sign people up under you.
A pyramid scheme is where there is always someone at the bottom NOT making money, so if you want to make money with MLM, you just sign people up to take your place at the bottom.

I made money, but do you know how many people I had under me that were not making money? At least 50..... so for every 1 person making money, I would be willing to bet there are at least 50 under them NOT making money. It is a terrible business model based off of 'hopes and dreams' and the only way to make those dreams reality is to sign up people under you. It is a never ending cycle. And now I am left with bad body image that was created by seeing it as a 'money-maker'. I have to figure out how to lose the weight the proper way without making myself a 'billboard'.

Never doing mlm again.

The money-maker is in selling the 'opportunity' to make more money. They get you with that dream board. Preying on people's insecurities for hope for a better life. The line is so blurry between them being considered a legal pyramid scheme. The loopholes have been created so they can operate legally through the guise of overpriced products.

My journey with MLM and my faith

Parts of my MLM story and how it actually taught me so much about my religion!

I started with Scentsy back in 2011. 

I advanced quickly and used my payday money to buy more products to have on hand. My Scentsy sponsor was so proud of me🤣

One day my Scentsy sponsor shared a post about a free workout group in her hometown that she would want to go to if she was still living there. It was close to me so I thought it sounded great! I went and we worked out to P90X. I committed to going twice a week to workout with them. I borrowed my brother's P90X DVDs and worked out at home on the other days. I was eating healthier, and guess what happened?!?! I started losing weight! 

Each week the workout group (hosted by local Beachbody coaches) would offer samples of Shakeology for guests to try. I was introduced to Beachbody through this group and because I felt a difference, I started believing in it! I kept putting off ordering my own Shakeology because it was so expensive. However, at the end of one of the months, the coaches were offering $20 cash back for anyone who ordered a bag. (Come to find out later that they were part of this team cup challenge and just needed more points that month). I bought a bag and noticed a difference, so I signed up as a coach for the 'discount'. 

I cancelled Scentsy because it was a conflict of interest and I was going 'all-in' with this Beachbody thing! (Side note: My Scentsy sponsor later said to me that she regretted sharing that workout post because it took me away from her and growing her team. 🤢🤮)

Now I was officially a Beachbody coach! I started attending all the suggested team meetings, team calls, and events. I made my dream boards like I was told. I posted multiple times daily on social media about my workouts and how exciting it was to be losing weight and staying home with my kids! I started recruiting others and hitting goals and higher ranks. I hit diamond level and helped my husband get his rank up to ruby! We were close to star-diamond and things were looking up! All those dreams coming true very soon! With every recruit, we were getting closer and hitting those goal numbers! I earned free prizes and free vacations for hitting success club quotas.  Traveled near and far for conventions and other events. The higher up I ranked and the deeper I got, the more I started to notice things. Fishy things. Things that didn't sit well with me. 

People were being treated differently depending on their rank and who their upline was. Higher ups were glorified and praised while saying if you weren't succeeding it was because you weren't trying hard enough and just didn't want it bad enough. Becoming a star-diamond coach in Beachbody is no longer about YOU working hard enough. It is about you convincing your downline to work harder. I wasn't really into the convincing or manipulating others. I signed people up mainly for the discount like I had done. I started seeing other things that I couldn't ignore. The hurtful conditional friendships. The body shaming was out of control! Judgment of others who 'needed the products'. It got to the point where I could no longer in good conscience continue recruiting and posting about it.

In 2014 I quit.

But NOT without the guilt. Because of the information I had been taught during events and team calls, I was made to believed that by quitting, I was literally giving up on those dreams I had put on my dream board. The guilt and shame was overwhelming!! 

I felt this guilt and shame DAILY. 

Any time we struggled for money, I blamed myself. Any time I heard about people in Beachbody upping rank and income, I wondered why I had quit and thought 'if only'. I felt like I was letting everyone down by giving it up. I went ANTI-Beachbody and stopped the workouts and unfriended anyone who promoted it. I gained weight back and felt guilt and shame for that. 

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
FOR FOUR YEARS.

2018, my heart had softened and I decided to consider it again. I thought maybe it was me. Maybe it was all in my head that those bad things weren't really as bad as I made them out to be. Maybe it was my fault for not having my head in the game. I didn't work hard enough. I gave up too soon. Maybe it would be different if I tried it again with a different perspective.
So what did I do???
I signed back up as a Beachbody Coach.
Almost right away, I start to notice the same patterns of rank and judgment and body shaming and manipulation. The push for rank advancement was immediate. I quickly saw that it wasn't just as bad as I remembered----IT WAS WORSE.

 
I quit again within the same year.
But I was CONFUSED.

I'm a smart girl. How could I fall for this not just once, but TWICE?!?!?!
So I found the anti-mlm community and during 2019 started learning about experiences of others and seeing that it wasn't just me. People were having the same experiences in any mlm! They were all the same! I listened to The Dream podcast and learned that the reps/coaches/consultants are actually just the customers. The 'discount' prices they recieve are still marked way up so the company is still making money.

I came across a video that was life-changing! It taught me about cult tactics and how MLMs are actually commercial cults. This put me down a rabbit hole! Learning about cults was fascinating!!! Seeing how these cult tactics had been used on me and had worked so very well. The years of guilt and shame were BECAUSE of the cult tactics. That's how they are intended to be.

The more I learned about cults, the more parallels I started to see with the religion I was in!🤔😱 Many examples that I personally experienced were:

•The way they continuously shame people that leave and put that fear into those still in it so they become afraid to leave.

•They use you to recruit others.

•They gaslight you to believe that if you quit, it's because you didn't try hard enough or have enough belief/faith.

•They use your 'hopes and dreams and goals' to manipulate you into staying, and make you believe that if you quit, you are giving up those dreams and you will hurt your loved ones.

•They try to control what you read and how you spend your time.

•Even if you don't see benefits right away,  you just have to believe in the system and keep following the'guidelines'.

•They talk bad about those who leave, as to discredit their experiences. People who leave are judged and looked down upon.

•They have regular meetings and events that you are expected to attend so they can indoctrinate you with their beliefs.

•If you leave them, it's on YOU. It is never their fault (Or so they say).

•They preach that they 'help' people, but then they turn around and take more than they give. The higher your rank, the more expectations they have of you. 

•Your 'worthiness' is based on your rank and status in their system. You are only 'worthy' of their time if you are hitting their expectations placed upon you. They even hold exclusive events for those who meet THEIR requirements.

•They continue to contradict themselves and the judgment they place on everyone.

•They tell you that you should cut out anyone who doesn't believe the same as you. And anyone who questions the leader is in the wrong.

•The higher up you get, the more time you are expected to give up for them. 

•They place this illusion of popularity on those higher up and higher-ups are considered the leaders and are given a celebrity-like status.

•You are taught to feel bad for those who leave and made to think that they are negative, confused, and have lost their way.

•You can never be good enough. They set unrealistic expectations upon you so that you are continually driven by this sense of guilt and shame.

•They believe they have THEE ANSWER TO HAPPINESS in life and what they have to offer will ultimately bring happiness in whoever invests their time, money and efforts into it.

The list goes on..... and the cult-like traditions do too.

Using manipulation and guilt to control people? Craziest part, I learned that people can be in a cult, and not even know!

Here it was 2020 and at 38 years old I was just now learning that I had actually been participating in a religious cult for the majority of my life and I had NO IDEA!!!

 
MIND-BLOWN!!! 

There are way too many details in this part of the story to even begin to sum up the things I was learning and the parallels I had found, but studying cults and Steven Hassan's book COMBATING CULT MIND CONTROL was a huge lesson. His BITE model described what I had experienced and was now putting my children through the same practices! It was so much to take in, but brought me so much peace to finally have the answers as to why I had been so easily manipulated. Fear tactics are very real.

Well, since I had already been through the years and years of guilt and shame for leaving a commercial cult, only to learn it was all BS, I was not about to go through that again. It was NOT an easy decision to make, but it was the right one.
I walked away from that high demand religion! I taught my husband and kids the things I had experienced and learned and they were 100% on my side and agreed that they wanted out as well--we were able to leave Mormonism GUILT-FREE!

After realizing the information that I had been given about the church during my entire time within the church had been heavily controlled and restricted, I was now curious as to what else I didn't know about the religion I was in. Having been taught to NEVER LOOK at outside sources, I was very nervous. I started on the church official website and the gospel topics essays taught me more than I had ever been taught in church. The more I read, the more I realized I didn't actually know much about the church I had spent decades in. I immersed myself in books, articles, podcasts, personal stories, journals, historical accounts and anything I could make time for! It has been fascinating to learn more in the past year about church history than I had been taught in the 3 decades IN the church. Needless to say, we are happy to be out!

 
For the last year, we have been CULT-FREE and are loving life, happier than ever! Sad to see so many of my loved ones still being manipulated in MLM and high-demand religion, but we all learn in different ways and through different personal experiences. But just as MLM and religion taught me, you have to share the truth and speak out! Don't be afraid to share your story. So that's what I do. Some people don't like it. I have had family and friends unfriend or unfollow me. Some have even blocked me. 🤷‍♀️ But I have done nothing wrong. 

I was a victim of cult tactics, manipulation and coersion and there is nothing wrong with sharing my personal experiences and things I have learned. Fear and shame are very real and are used to recruit and keep people in these kinds of groups. It's sad and scary. So speaking out could be helping someone and saving them from heartache.

My biggest hope is to be understood. My hope for my children is that they will learn from this and not fall victim to a high-demand religion or group. They are free! We are free! (Oh, and I still have some of that Scentsy stock I bought as a consultant in 2010 🤣)

Finally Free

Some (not-so) secrets about me... allow me to clarify some things to eliminate assumptions. (Yes, it is long, but the more you know me, the better you can understand me)...

I was baptized a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at 9 years old.

I grew up a faithful 100% believing member. As in I was FULLY believing everything I was taught, strong testimony, always listened to the prophet, graduated from seminary, attended a church college, literally could not imagine my life without the gospel, never questioned, never doubted.

I was taught that the ULTIMATE goal is to go through the LDS temple and be sealed to your faithful family members for the eternities. This is the main step to eternal happiness.

That was all I ever wanted.

I went through the temple for the first time to take out my own endowments in September of 2004 at 23 years old. My husband and I were sealed in the temple that day. I recieved a new name at the temple that I was never to divulge to anyone except to my husband (he could know my new name, but I couldn't know his) but no big deal. I kept the secrets sacred and my faith was stronger than ever. I covenanted to give all my time, energy, talents, and even if needs be, my LIFE to the church.

We obediently went back to the temple many times to do ordinance work for the dead. There was so much I didn't understand, but again, I didn't ask questions. I just obediently followed and wondered what I was missing and why I didn't enjoy it as much as I was told I was supposed to. Maybe it was just me? I didn't know, but I continued to follow faithfully and do my best to be obedient so I could be worthy to recieve the blessings promised to me. It was okay that it didn't all make sense and that my mortal mind could just not comprehend all of God's ways..... that narrative was sufficient and my faith never wavered. I always held a current temple recommend. I followed the word of wisdom. I gained a testimony of tithing, and was told that the more money and time I gave to the church, the more blessings I would receive. I wore my garments religiously, and never questioned any of it.

I taught my kids what I knew. I wanted them to be faithful and obedient as well. Nothing meant more to me than having them with me in the afterlife.

I taught others' children in primary for over 10 years. I faithfully accepted every calling when I was asked to serve, even when it was challenging or uncomfortable. If someone I knew 'left' the church, I would never talk to them about it. I was told to 'Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith.'

I WAS ALL IN.  NO DOUBT about it.

I clarify these things not to boast of my 'righteousness' LOL, but rather to help people understand where I come from.

Then comes 2020.

38 years old and I learned so many new things that I had never been taught. I came across information that was new, alarming, and undeniable. I learned about destructive controlling organizations and groups. As I searched church history in church-approved sources and began putting the history timeline together, I found so many things that I could in no way support or excuse. I realized that some of these beliefs no longer served me. That’s what a belief is. It’s a thought that we choose to continue thinking. I let it go.

Recently, I have people accuse me of lying or being hateful. I have people say that by sharing things that I have learned this year, that they feel personally attacked. I have been blocked and unfriended on fb this year by close friends and family because they don't like to hear about my experiences.

So why do I keep speaking out?

My perspective is unique.
I have been on both sides and know that I can relate to people that feel guilty, scared, confused, or fearful when it comes to finding out things about the history of the Mormon church and things that Joseph Smith and other leaders have taught.

When I receive positive messages like this (see attached photo), it makes it all worth the hate messages I get.

If I can be a safe space for just one person when they feel alone, hurt and betrayed by something that they have believed in for so long, then it is worth it and I will keep sharing my experiences.

If we want connection and positive relationships, we must be willing to be vulnerable.
Reach out for support.
You are not alone.
You are loved.
You are worthy.
You are strong.
You are wise.
You are amazing.

Please know that I will never intentionally attack anyone personally. I understand that we are all just doing the best we can with the information we gather along this journey of life. It's confusing and it is difficult at times, but I have found this amazing freedom and true happiness in being able to use my accumulated wisdom and discernment to govern myself and not rely on an organization to tell me how I should live every detail of my life.

People don't like it. They judge and think I am 'lost'. Recently I was accused of 'operating under a different power entirely'.... as to say the devil has taken control of me. People actually believe this and are afraid to hear alternative perspectives and experiences in fear that they may be overtaken as well.

My point is, I am here if you need to talk. If you have questions about my experience, I am an open book and you are free to ask me. I'm not afraid and I am not ashamed of my story.
I have nothing to hide.

I have been able to connect with more people this year than I ever have in years past. Vulnerability brings this huge sense of freedom and connection. I want that for everyone.

The peace is amazing.

PEACE TO YOU ALL ✌😇 😘

I believe we are all connected. We’re all born with something bigger inside of us. We’re all worthy the moment we’re born and we’ll still be worthy the day that we die. Nothing changes that. I can also believe that my family will still be together forever, not because I follow a set of rules given to me, or because of where I was married, but because of the possibility of a God that loves us enough that he wouldn’t separate people who love each other like we do.

We may share similar beliefs, we may not, and that’s okay. I love you anyway and I love me anyway.

Our marriage and our family is stronger than it has ever been. We have learned better communication skills and that we don’t have to agree with each other to show love. We don't let an organization determine our standards. I truly believe that nothing has gone wrong here and that my life was always meant to happen this way. I am exactly who I was always meant to be. I may not know exactly who that is or what that looks like right now, but I’m no longer afraid of it. I’m excited for it.

While what others think of me is none of my business, let me be clear that I did not get tricked by satan, I didn’t blindly follow anyone else, and I did not fall or get lost. I listened to my heart, and I leapt.

I know most of you won’t understand me, but I understand me, and for now, that’s enough. I love you all anyway.

Your journey is not my journey, just as mine is not yours. However, I wish each of you only the best as you create your own path in this life.

Thanks for being exactly who you are and allowing me to do the same. ❤️

Our progress!

Several years ago I lost over 70 pounds by working out at home with Beachbody workouts and getting my nutrition in check! I learned so much, but life happened and I allowed self-doubt to creep in and I gained weight and some disappointment in myself throughout the past few years. 

This year, having more knowledge and experience under my belt, I have dedicated myself to losing 100 pounds, and this time I feel extra support from friends that have decided to set their own personal goals and commit to their own health alongside me!

DIY Sprouts!

I learned about sprouting several years ago and it is SO simple, I wish I had learned sooner! When I finally was brave enough to try them for the first time, I was surprised how much I loved them! Also, the taste is different depending on what 'seed' you use! You can put them in salads, on sandwiches, stir-fry, burritos etc. Some even have the taste of fresh garden peas!

Lentil sprouts taste similar to sugar snap peas, are super cheap to buy, and I LOVE those on my salad! Mung bean sprouts have more of a green bean flavor. Alfalfa sprouts are well-known and can be found in stores. They have a spicier more bitter taste to them. There are many other varieties to try and so many options to choose from! You can even mix them!

First: You take a jar and put about a 1/4 cup washed and rinsed and sorted lentils (you have to pick out the cracked or broken ones because they will sprout first and mold, I guess). Then you take netting (pantyhose or white toole works fine) and put it around the mouth of the jar. Secure it with a rubber band or jar ring.
Then: you soak these beans for 10 hours or so.
Next: use the netting as a strainer to dump out the water but not the beans. You rinse the beans 3 times a day for 2-4 days. after rinsing them, be sure to drain them completely and never let them sit in standing water after the first initial soaking. Store them in a cool, dry, dark place until they are ready to eat.

The coolest part is that when they sprout, it is said that the Vitamin C value increases 600+ percent than before they sprouted! So these sprouts are packed FULL of vitamins and nutrients. This is especially good if you don't have veggies or greens readily available. (If only Anne Frank would have known this, they wouldn't have had to eat only lettuce day after day...) ;)

You can buy prepackaged sprouting seeds, or you can just use dry lentils and mung beans like I did in the picture below! (I will post a sprouting picture once they are ready!)

Let me know what you think when you try them!

Obese Mom finishes 80-day Obsession

It is interesting to think that just a few short months ago I was the heaviest I had ever been and disappointed in myself for giving up and gaining so much weight. I knew what I needed to do, I just didn't think I had the motivation to workout every day and I didn't think I was ready because I have a busy work schedule, am currently taking college classes, have 3 kids to take care of, and chores and other responsibilities. I had thee excuses and more that kept me from making the commitment to exercise every day. After years of putting it off, I finally made a decision and in making that specific decision, I found the determination through wanting more out of life. 

♡

I felt like there was a lot that I was missing out on.... like hiking and family adventures because I physically didn't have the strength. I wanted to show my kids that health is a priority, I want to be an inspiration to others that feel like there was no way they could make positive changes, feeling comfortable in my own skin and being proud of myself--- those were all things that I had not experienced in a long time and I missed it!
♡
I have ALWAYS loved swimming and my kids are the same way. I was on the swim team in high school, was a lifeguard and taught swimming lessons, and I love to swim! My kids beg to go and we just don't go as often because I had been so uncomfortable in a swimsuit! We were missing out on one of our favorite things! And it was no one's fault but my own.

I finally took the leap and started Beachbody workouts and nutrition plans, then committed to the 80-day Obsession. Starting out, there were many moves that I could not do, but I tried my best and found that later on in the program I could do MORE and MORE! Seeing myself get stronger is the most empowering feeling ever! Proving to myself that I am capable of anything I set my mind to is a powerful message that I have learned! Realizing that is is never too late to restart and become better and stronger!
♡
I find that because I made this long-term commitment to myself, each day I am feeling more self-love, more confidence and finally feeling stronger. I still have a long way to go, but getting back on track feels amazing and it makes it even more fun when others come to me for help and they do it with me! When you are ready, be sure to reach out to me! Support is key!
♡
This is also an example of how vegan is not a diet. I have been vegan for over 2 years and actually GAINED weight! There are plenty of vegan junk foods! Haha! It is eating the RIGHT healthy foods that matters!

NEW 2B MINDSET

Welcome to a revolutionary way of losing weight!

WATCH INTRO VIDEO

I have been getting a lot of questions about this new program called 2B Mindset and what it is about! If you are looking for some information and details on the program, the most commonly asked questions and concerns, and if this would be a good fit for you, then you have come to the right place!

What Is 2B Mindset?

2B Mindset is created by a registered Dietician  Nutritionist named Ilana Muhlstein. She struggled with her weight since early childhood and finally learned many secrets about weight loss and lost over 100 pounds herself!

"I was only 8 years old when our family doctor told me I needed to go on a diet. Not knowing what to do, my parents started sending me away to weight-loss camp — “fat camp” — every summer. Can you imagine how that felt?

I’d lose weight, then gain it all back and more when I’d go back to school in the fall. I yo-yo dieted like that through my childhood and teen years, until at my heaviest I weighed 215 pounds and wore a size 20. And I can tell you, the emotional toll of that cycle was devastating.

But I’m happy to say, there’s hope for all of us if we take a different approach to food than what the best sellers and fad diets have been telling us for years.

Since swearing off diets and taking matters into my own hands, I’ve not only lost 100 pounds, I’ve done it happily — without telling myself I can’t have sweets or treats or anything else.

With the 2B Mindset I can tell you that I’m happier now and able to enjoy my life like never before — and now I want the same for you."

Unlike all other Beachbody Products and programs previously created, this program focuses around the mindset of food, relationship with food, and how to help change your attitude toward food and healthy eating! 

2B Mindset follows the similar support system guidelines, however this program focuses on the one area that most people struggle with the most and that is NUTRITION!  So many people have no problem showing up for the workouts but struggle most with nutrition and their relationship with food. This program will help people combat issues and bad eating habits such as:

• Yo-Yo Dieting
• Feeling like you are constantly on a diet
• Feeling like you are restricted
• Counting Calories, Macros, and portion containers
• Loving to eat lots of food AKA Volume Eaters
• Late night snacking
• Emotional Eating
• Traveling/Dinners Out with friends
• Meal Planning and Prepping

So Beachbody paired up with Ilana to provide this program to anyone struggling with these issues!

2B Mindset is a video-based weight loss program that will change your mindset about food, your body, and losing weight!

Instead of diets that focus on what you can’t eat, this simple and easy approach will have you focused on what you CAN eat so you FEEL FULL, satisfied, and in control without ever counting calories or points or measuring foods!! If you want to exercise, you can! Any exercise is recommended, even if it is a light workout, but it is not required.

What Makes 2B Mindset So Different & Effective?

It’s not a DIET- it is a MINDSET!!!  Most diets have an end date.  But because you are going to be shifting the way you think about food, you can use the 2B Mindset principles for the rest of your life.  Also, most diets require deprivation.  The 2B mindset shows you how to get to, and maintain, your idea weight, while eating the foods you enjoy so you always feel satisfied and happy!

This program is extremely EASY TO FOLLOW!! There is no counting calories, no measuring food, and no using food containers.  No cutting out food groups, no deprivation or feeling hungry and you have the ability to follow the program even when you are at a restaurant, a party or on vacation!

How Is Shakeology A Part Of The Program?

Ilana is a HUGE fan of Shakeology because it is high in protein (17g).

Shakeology can count as the protein for any of the 2B meals.  One of Ilana’s primary tips is to have a consistent breakfast and Shakeology is easy and quick to make and so this is a great option for your breakfast or any meal that you struggle with!  Plus you are getting nutrients, vitamins, pre and probiotics to help you digest your food, give you energy, and help you fill in the gaps you don’t get from the foods you eat

Frequently Asked Questions.

Can I access 2B Mindset on Beachbody On Demand?  

2B Mindset is on it’s own platform separate from Beachbody On Demand.  It is called our Nutrition Platform.  You will purchase this product and you will have forever access to the resources.

When is 2B Mindset Launching?

2B Mindset launches on May 2nd on the Nutrition tab on Beachbody On Demand. On June 4th 2B Mindset will also launch the Beachbody Nutrition + App.  Anyone who purchases 2B Mindset will have access to stream the program on the nutrition tab of Beachbody ON Demand and also the app.

Can I exercise while doing 2B Mindset?

Yes you can exercise but it is not required! If you choose to do a workout program from Beachbody on Demand, you can choose to forgo the specified nutrition plan and do the 2B Mindset eating!

Can you do 2B Mindset if you are pregnant or nursing?

2B Mindset is a weight loss program. Since pregnant mothers should be gaining weight and not losing weight, it is not advised that they follow 2B Mindset during pregnancy.  For breastfeeding mothers, La Leche League International advises to wait at least two months before making any drastic effort to lose weight in order to allow your body to recover and ensure a steady milk supply. Keep in mind that breastfeeding women may naturally lose one to four pounds per month simply due to the amount of energy required to nurse in the first place.
