Question

I personaly think its fine. With my third daughter I weighed 165 when I got pregnant. I ate right and walked during the pregnancy and after i had her I was down 2 sizes and was 20 pounds lighter. She was healthy and weighed 8 pounds at birth. I ate small healthy meals and walked alot!

I ate healthy as possible! Minimal carbs (one serving aka 15grams and had maybe 2 per meal and 1 at snacks) lots of fresh foods only, if I wanted a big greasy burger I made it myself instead of burger king and such, lots of fiber, low fat dairy, and lean proteins made me lose 40lbs throughout my pregnancy! I didn't gain ANYTHING just lost! My Dr. was actually happy since I started overweight already and my baby was 7lbs and he was healthy as can be, I exercised as much as I could (prenatal workouts, long steady walks -since we walk slower now! and using dumbbells for arms only-biceps/triceps not a big workout) I didn't strain or stress myself if I was tired I slept instead of working out and one thing that made a major difference was I drank ONLY water and low fat milk! I was amazed and it helps you lose weight too after the baby is born!!! (I limited junk food to one serving per day of whatever I wanted to limit sugar baby was getting)

My grandmother swears the most she ever gained with any of her children was 12 lbs. She didn't eat a lot more than normal. All of her children were born healthy and are very intellegent adults- one has an MBA, one is a Physical Therapist, and my mom is a Pharmacist... I think it's fine to lose weight as long as you don't "diet"- just don't over eat and when you do eat- eat healthy and excercise (walking, swimming). I gained 60 lbs with my first child (my grandmother was horrified), and I can say that I was very unhealthy. I ended up with preclampsia and pre-gestational diabetes around 36 weeks. I am pregnant now and have not gained any weight. I am already 40 lbs over weight and it wouldn't be good for my baby for me to gain a lot of weight. There are some new studies that say it's okay to even lose weight if you start your pregnancy while overweight/obese. If you are healthy and active, and you aren't starving yourself, then I think it's fine to not gain a lot of weight.

Is it safe to lose weight while pregnant. I started my pregnancy overweight. About 5 months before I got pregnant I started a healthy diet (low carb, whole grains, more fruit and veggies...) and I lost 25 pounds. I got pregnant and went off my diet...and gained about 12 pounds by week 20. Then, I got back on my diet, not to lose weight but to be more healthy, and lost a few pounds. Is that safe?

This is not an answer to this question at all. I just wanted to see other answers to this question, so thank you to everyone for these answers. We just found out last night that I'm 6 weeks pregnant. 4 months ago I was 40 lbs overweight, and today I'm down 20 pounds. It's so calming to know that I can continue to lose, or at least maintain, and be healthy/have a healthy baby. These first 12 hours have been scary and filled with a lot of... scariness. Thank you.

I am now 27 weeks pregnant with my second child. Baby number one is now 10 and a half months old. When I was pregnant with him I gained 60lbs and hadn't managed to lose all the baby weight before I got pregnant again. However, I have yet to gain any weight during this pregnancy and have actually lost some. With my first pregnancy I ate whatever I wanted and wasn't too active. This time around I am eating better and walking/jogging. The weight loss is perfectly normal in that sense. As long as you are eating healthy and taking care of yourself then don't worry about it. I honestly feel my weight gain with my first child was unhealthy. I weighted 138 in the beginning and at my last weight in I was 198lbs (ouch!) Now I am almost to my third trimester and I weigh 168lbs and it seems the scale either goes down or does not move every day. If you go from an unhealthy/inactive lifestyle and decide to take care of you and your baby while your pregnant then the results will be weight loss!

my first pregnancy, 12 years ago, I ate what I wanted when I wanted and gained a staggering 75- 80 lbs!! still haven't lost all of that weight!!!!!! I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant last week and have cut out the majority of junk food except the occasional craving. I have lost almost 5 lbs in the first week - but I have eaten very healthy foods. fruits veggies, lower fat dairy items, lean meats. so it isn't that I am NOT eating, its just that I am NOT eating ice cream, cookies, candy and chips galore (Like i was before)!!! 🙂 I think its fine as long as you aren't "dieting" and eating healthy foods!

my doctor prefers not to see weight gain in the first half of the pregnancy in average or overweight moms. I am 28 weeks and down12 pounds. I am also measuring 2 weeks ahead in fundal height and baby measures perfect on ultrasound!

Before I found out I was pregnant I had lost 40 lbs. But as soon as I received my official preggo announcement from my doctor I started gaining weight that day. I am now 22 weeks pregnant and have gained 40 lbs. This is bad! But the good news is I have started to cut back and am expecting to be at a healthy weight by the time I deliver my daughter. Weight Gain is all in the mind. Lost 2 lbs in 4 days already, hoping to continue to drop.

South Beach Diet - Benefits and Drawbacks

There are a lot of diets out there these days that promise quick weight loss with no deprivation, but the South Beach Diet is one of the few that actually fits that bill. Originally designed by Dr. Arthur Agatston , a cardiologist, for his heart patients, it's become a tried-and-true diet plan that is no fad. In fact, you can stick to it for life and health as well as weight loss.

One of the main factors in the South Beach Diet's success is that it utilizes the glycemic index to help control hunger. That is, by following the diet and eating mostly foods that are low in the glycemic index, you maintain blood sugar levels and therefore reduce your hunger for "simple" carbohydrates like sugars and sweets.

The diet in three phases, during which you wean yourself off of certain foods and focus on South Beach Diet friendly foods. You can also lose up to eight to 12 pounds in the first two weeks, as long as you follow those guidelines.

Basic benefits

Medical science actually supports this diet, because it focuses on "clean" eating, and it's full of lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and "good for you" fats, while minimizing or eliminating refined sugars, trans fats, and saturated fats.

Are there any drawbacks?

The first part of the diet, Phase I, has you severely restricting your carbohydrates, for the first two weeks. This also includes limiting intake of fruits and vegetables, by the way, so you won't be getting all the nutrients you need. You'll also likely experience difficulties because of the lack of fiber in this particular phase of the diet.

Nonetheless, if you can get through this first two weeks, you'll move on to the second phase of the diet, which is less restrictive. It might also be said that because you so severely limit your intake of certain foods during the first phase (namely, carbohydrates), you're going to clean your palate so that you're not going to be craving junk foods, refined sweets, etc., and can move on to the second phase fully ready to stick to it.

What happens with the rest of the diet

In the second phase of the diet, you're going to add certain foods back into your diet you had to avoid during Phase I. Because you've "cleared your palate," you're not going to be craving these foods as much, and you'll be able to eat them in moderation, though not as much as you could before.

The final phase, Phase III, is the maintenance part of the diet and is meant to be something you'll follow for the rest of your life. It's the least restrictive and is simply meant to utilize basic guidelines that will have you limiting certain foods and focusing on others so that you maintain rather than lose weight.

The results

The South Beach Diet is in fact a very good diet for the most part, and just about anyone can follow it. Because it severely restrict your access to what is mostly "junk" food, while focusing on an intake of "good" foods like lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and "good" carbohydrates and fats, it is certainly a healthy plan to follow and it doesn't so severely restrict calories or food groups (other than during Phase I) that you are at risk of deficiencies. Weight loss is generally sensible, with a focus of about one to two pounds weight loss after the first phase (which promises up to 12 pounds of weight loss), and medical professionals support this plan in general. All in all, a good sound diet that can be followed for life after the first phase, and that focuses on good healthy foods and sensible rather than extreme weight loss.

There are a lot of diets that can be described as being amongst the best diets and a lot of these diets promise that it is possible to lose weight quickly. The south beach diet is one of the diets that is often referred to as being amongst the best diets. A doctor who was known as Arthur Agatston first designed this diet and he was a cardiologist. This doctor developed this diet for the patients that he used to see with heart problems. Over time this diet has become a tried and tested regime, and this is not one of the many fad diets which are around. It is possible to stick to this diet for life as a way of promoting good health as well as a method for losing weight.

One of the main reasons why the south beach diet can be described as being one of the best diets is that it makes good use of the glycemic diet. This is a good way to keep hunger under control. This diet works best when the person follows it and eats mainly the foods that are low on the glycemic index as this will help you to maintain the level of sugar in your blood. This helps to reduce your level of hunger for simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates include items such as sweets and sugars.

The south beach diet actually consists of three different phases. During these phases you basically wean yourself away from certain foods and focus on the foods that are better for you and form part of this diet. This diet is considered to be one of the best diets as it is possible to lose between eight pounds and twelve pounds within your first couple of weeks.

There are a number of benefits that can be obtained from following this diet. This diet is considered to be one of the best diets and is supported by medical science. The diet focuses on clean eating therefore it consists of eating lean proteins, vegetables, fruit and also the fats that are actually good for the body. This diet also involves eliminating or at least reducing the amount of refined sugars, saturated fats and trans fats that are within the diet.

The first phase of this diet involves you restricting the amount of carbohydrates that you eat. This has to be done rigorously in order for the diet to work. This phase of the diet will also involve limiting the amount of vegetables and fruit that you are consuming. Therefore, during this time you will be lacking some required nutrients and you may experience some difficulties due to the lack of fiber that is in the diet. The first phase of this diet only lasts for two weeks and then you can progress onto the second phase.

The second phase of this diet is actually less restrictive. Due to the severely limited foods during the first phase you will probably have cleansed your palate therefore you will probably not crave the so-called junk foods. During the second phase of the diet you will be adding certain foods back into your diet and your cleansed palate will mean that you are happy to eat these foods within moderation. The third phase of this diet really sets you up to follow the diet that you have started. This part is really the least restrictive part of the diet. These three phases are the process to losing weight using one of the best diets that are available.

Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter.

Ive been exercising regularly for a few years, with tremendous improvements in my health, and whenever someone asks me how they should start out in exercise, I tell them to just get moving!

Try to get moving every day whether its walking, running, strength training, sports, running around with the kids, swimming, paddling, or whatever works for you. If you can do that, youll get healthier and fitter over time.

And it does take time. Any exercise program that promises results in a week or three or even a month is either lying to you, or not worth it youll just gain it back in a short amount of time, because you havent changed your lifestyle or habits. So no, you wont see quick results if you get active, but youll see long-term results if you stick with it. Have fun along the way and things will be great.

And what you eat is just as important. Make small changes over time to your diet drink water instead of soda, or eat leaner cuts of meat (or go vegetarian), cut out fried foods, eat more fruits and veggies, cut out processed grains, changes like that and youll be well on your way to a healtheir lifestyle and a fitter you.

But these generalized recommendations never seem to be enough. People want specific programs. And while Im not a certified trainer or an expert in any way, I have found some simple exercise programs that work for me and others I know, and can recommend them. As always, if you have health problems, check with a doctor before getting into any kind of exercise program.

One last note: take it slowly. Your body needs time to adapt to the exercise, and if you overdo it you can injure yourself or burnout, and neither is good if youre trying to stick with it long term. Progress gradually, in small steps, and youll stay injury-free and see great long-term results.

Program 1: Intervals for Beginners

Intervals are a great way to get intense exercise in without overdoing it. And they can be a lot of fun if steady-state cardio bores you to tears.

Start out with some steady-state cardio, though, at least for a month while you get used to moving more. Walking is a great way to start out, especially if you havent exercised in awhile and/or youre pretty overweight. If youre in decent shape with not too many extra pounds, start with some slow, light jogging.

After a month or so of doing this at least 3 times a week (4-5 is even better but not everyone has the time), you can add some light intervals. Warm up for 5 minutes first to prevent injury and to let your heart adjust to beating faster, before starting the intervals. For beginner walkers, just pick up the pace for 30-60 seconds, and then walk at a normal pace for 1-2 minutes to recover. Dont overdo it at first. You can repeat this 3-5 times during your normal walk.

For people in slightly better shape, try walk/run intervals. Again, warm up for 5 minutes, then jog for 30-60 seconds followed by 1-2 minutes walking for recovery. Repeat 3-5 times and then cool down.

For those in even better shape, do jog/run intervals, where you jog slowly, pick up the pace to a steady run (not sprinting and not too fast) for 30-60 seconds, then back to a slow jog for 1-2 minutes recovery. Again, repeat 3-5 times.

After doing this workout for 1-2 weeks, add more intervals slowly until youre up to about 6-8. Once youre used to this, slowly increase the length of your intervals. Instead of 30-60 seconds, do 60-90 seconds. After a couple weeks of longer intervals, increase the intensity of the intervals a faster walk, or a jog instead of a walk, or a faster run, depending on what youve been doing so far.

Intervals are a great way to burn calories and fat (assuming youre eating fairly healthy and not overeating), strengthen your leg muscles and core, and just get healthier overall.

Program 2: Sports

This is one of the easiest programs on this list, and also one of the most fun. Basically: play a sport you like, or even a new sport youve never tried before, a few times a week. Again, the idea is just to get moving, and to have fun while youre moving.

It can be any sport where youre moving around a lot (golf, bowling, darts, and the like are great but dont count) just choose a sport to start with and give it a try. If you already love a sport but havent been playing it in awhile, do that its important that this be fun for you. Do it 3-4 times a week. Or try a new sport if youve always wanted to try soccer, or rugby, or rowing/paddling, or cycling, do it now! Find someone who knows how to play it, or join a club or group that will show you how its done, and give it a try! It can be difficult at first, but go easy when you start and really try to learn the rules and skills. Think of it as a fun challenge. You might be a little sore when you first start out.

Start with 30 minutes and progress gradually to 45-60 minutes a day, at least 3 days a week. Try to get to 4-5 days a week if you can.

After a month or so of one sport, switch to another to keep it fun and challenging. Keep doing this for a few months. After youve tried at least 3 sports, start to mix it up do basketball on Monday, for example, then soccer, then swimming, then rowing whatever you feel like, whatever seems fun, whatever it takes to stay active. The more you mix it up, the better.

Program 3: Circuits

This is a fairly traditional sort of program, but great nonetheless. Basically: you do one exercise followed by another and another and so on until youve done the whole circuit of exercises, rest for a couple minutes, then repeat the whole circuit. The exercises can be strength exercises, cardio, or some combination. The circuit format keeps things interesting, and keeps your heart-rate up so you burn more fat than if you rested in between exercises.

For beginners, remember to start slowly it can be easy to overdo it with a program like this. I recommend you start with just 4-5 exercises, and rest 10-30 seconds between each at first. Later you can cut the rest period down until youre not resting between exercises, only between circuits.

To start out with, choose 4-5 exercises such as: bodyweight squats, jumping jacks, pushups (you can do them against the wall instead of on the ground if necessary), jump squats (squats with a jump at the top), burpees (basically jump squats combined with pushups), dips, lunges, side lunges, wall climbers, pullups, jump roping, jogging in place, bicycle crunches. Some of these are tough, so if you have trouble with them start with easier ones or modified versions so theyre not so hard. Do a YouTube search if you dont know how to do the exercises properly.

Do 30 seconds of each exercise, rest for 10-30 seconds, do the next exercise, and so on until youve done all 4-5 exercises youve chosen. Rest for 2 minutes and repeat.

When you first start, just do 2 circuits. Then after a week or two, add a third circuit, and then after another week or two add a fourth. When youve adjusted to that, add additional exercises (feel free to switch out new exercises whenever you like). Gradually shorten the rest period between exercises until you dont rest at all during the circuit only between circuits.

Program 4: Crossfit Light

One of my favorite exercise programs is Crossfit, because its an all-around program that focuses on your entire body, and all parts of fitness. If you do Crossfit, youll be in shape for just about anything, from sports to the military or law enforcement to any physical challenge you can think of.

However, Crossfit is not for beginners. Its tough. If youre in decent shape already, you should start Crossfit by doing a modified version of their Workout of the Day (WOD), which is posted daily on the main website. Modified meaning an easier version. After a few months, you should try to progress to the full version of the WOD.

However, complete beginners should start with an even easier version lets call it Crossfit Light. There isnt any such program, but its basically modifying the WOD so that beginners can do it without killing themselves. An example of the past week of WODs:

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday Rest

Sunday

Monday

So you can see that instead of going for intensity, the light workout is much easier and more relaxed. Again, its just for starting out youll want to make it tougher as you progress.

Program 5: Triathlon Light

When I trained for a triathlon last year, I felt fitter than ever before, because I was training for three sports (running, cycling, swimming). My body was getting an amazing all-around workout. However, if youre a complete beginner, youll want to start out lighter than normal.

So you can start with three sports perhaps walk/running, swimming or rowing, and cycling or the cycling machine. Substitute whatever sport/exercise works better for you.

Start out by doing each sport once a week (15-20 minutes a day to start with), and gradually increase over time until youre doing each sport twice a week. Then increase the duration of your exercise until you get to 30 minutes a day.

Eventually, try to do the real three triathlon sports, as they have amazing health benefits, especially when you mix them up like this. Be sure to always take at least one rest day a week. If you liked this article, please share it on del.icio.us or StumbleUpon. Id appreciate it. 🙂
