I have to admit, my first thought was how on earth are you doing CD with a one month old? The energy you require at that stage for dealing with broken nights, let alone the adequate calorie intake you need for your body to repair/get back to normal after birth isn't going to come from 450 or so calories a day.
I urge you to reconsider, hun. I'd be the first one to sing the benefits of CD from the treetops - but it's neither designed or recommended for this stage of your life - for very good reasons. Your baby doesn't care whether you consider yourself fat or thin at the moment - but he/she does need you to be well enough to look after him/her. I'm worried that you'll make yourself ill, hun - if not physically, then emotionally. Don't increase the risk of getting post natal depression.
I think it's so sad that the media puts such pressure on mums to bounce back into shape. I've no idea how the likes of Victoria Beckham manage to get back into their size 8 jeans after birth - but it's not a healthy image to portray.
3 months isn't a long time to wait, in the grand scheme of things. I know you'd love to wow everyone by Christmas - but there's more to life than being slim right now.
Think about it, okay? If you're determined to get started on some sort of weight loss plan now, then have a chat with your doctor/health visitor/practice nurse about what's best to do. I have to say, I'm seriously worried that your CDC is saying it's okay to do CD so soon after you've given birth - and frankly, she needs reporting.
