I'm breastfeeding. Can I do the Cabbage Soup Diet?
No. Quick-fix solutions like the cabbage soup diet are not recommended while nursing.
While breastfeeding, you should not eat less than 1600-1800 calories per day.
What you may try is to consume from time to time some cabbage soup. This I did too, while breastfeeding. Read here my personal weight loss experience.after pregnancy.

Can I eat cabbage soup while breastfeeding?
Hi Pumla,
we don't recommend to do the 7 day cabbage soup diet while breastfeeding. The reasons for this we explained in another thread breastfeeding and cabbage soup diet.
You may however try some cabbage soup as a starter before your meals like I did when breastfeeding. I gained 40 pounds with my pregnancy some years ago – but I lost them all within 7 months. I was breastfeeding like you! I added the cabbage soup in variations to my daily nutrition which was low in fat but healthy and valuable.
But please make sure that your baby doesn't suffer and get flatulence from the soup. There are some tricks to avoid this.
Give some dry camomille flower or caraway to the cabbage soup - this reduces possible flatulance effects. And please use the cabbage soup as a starter only if your baby feels happy with it.
All the best,
Gabriela

I've been breastfeeding exclusively for 4 months and want to try it. I have a lot of milk by the way. I just am worried it might affect it?

What you can do instead is using the cabbage soup as a starter before your meals. This will help you drop some pounds in the long run too.
All the best for you and your baby,
