If you’ve chosen to breastfeed your new baby, you can burn as many as 500 calories a day to help you shed your baby fat, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. That’s the good news. You can wipe out that advantage and then some with just two slices of a plain takeout pizza. The best news? You can have your pizza (chips, chocolate cake, cookies, candy and more) and lose weight too simply by substituting delicious Nutrisystem food for your favorite snack—and we’ve got it all mapped out in our very own Mom’s Guide to Snacking.
Read on to check out the Mom’s Guide to Snacking for insight on these 10 Nutrisystem alternatives to the most popular diet-bomb munchies.
