  • Have that person work it out with her OBGYN

  • She would have to talk to her doctor to see if that would be the healthier thing to do. Even heavyset people need to gain extra weight for the pregnancy.

  • yes use the supliments fromthe doctor and also walk and ride abike and eat and breath and dont starve ask the doctor there the reason to be there

  • all eat healthy do light excerise thats all u can do

  • you shouldnt lose any weight while pregnant. It cause cause stress to the baby that may harm it. I’d wait til after you had the baby to lose weight.

  • what they do is have the patient follow a diet that is high in nutrients but with less calories than they usually consume. staying the same weight while you are pregnant is the same as losing weight because the babys weight is gaining while you are losing.

  • you should NEVER lose weight while your pregnant! who cares anyway u are doing this for your baby. concentrate on losing the weight after its born. don’t put u and your baby at risk.

  • she should talk to her doctor for sure,but a HEALTHY diet, lots of clean water and gentle excercise like walking would not hurt. know your limits.

  • Seek medical help on that. Remember you will be depriving your baby of the vitamins it needs.
    .

  • not 2 b disrespectful or nothing butin blockbuster they sell sum pregnat videos where you can excercise safely

    the only advise i have is get up in the morning with the sunshining and take a walk eachday, which relaxes you and gets you little energized

  • No – she should not loose weight while pregnant. She may eat healthy and maintain weight (as in not gaining), but NOT diet and loose weight! I would actually recommend at least some weight gain, although I would focus more on the quality of her nutrition and not on pounds. When fat is burned, the by-product is the production of ketones. Ketones present in the mother’s body are not good for the baby.

  • You need to discuss this with your doctor. Dieting is not recommended during pregnancy. You’ll have plenty of time to shed the extra pounds after the baby is born. I would suggest reading The Schwarzbein Principle and The Schwarzbein Principle Cookbook. You can eat delicious nutritious meals and lose weight and it may be something your doctor will approve of during your pregnancy to keep from gaining excessive weight. Yoga, with your doctor’s approval can be helpful too. You want to give your baby the best start you can and maintain your health as well. It will all be worth it when you hold your new bundle of joy for the first time! You may find the following website helpful:

  • Just a guess, but I think that’s probably unhealthy for the baby. A weight loss diet is not going to provide enough nutrients for the baby, but I guessthey could always ask their OB.

  • i dont really think there is. After all your eating for two now! after pregnancy would be something to look into. enjoy the freedom for now.

  • well since you’re pregnant right now it isn’t safe to diet at all. when you go into the doctor they will tell you that.. you may want to wait it out and start losing weight after..

    but talk to your doctor to make sure

  • Eat allot of veggies and when you get a sweet tooth go for Fruits instead of other stuff.Eat allot of fibre too .Stay away from bread potatoes as well as rice though not mentionning spagetti.Also eat in small portions but oftenly rather than one big meal. Never eat if you are going to take a nap afterwards.This way the weight will just add on.Eat and then try doing some everyday activity if you can exercise of course.

  • I was overweight while pregnant, and lost weight. I just ate sensibly….talk to your Dr, and they can give you some food plans. You don’t want to try and lose weight while pregnant, its not healhy
