Is it harder to lose weight after having a baby?

Q. When I was younger I remember I could just stop eating junk food and lose weight right away. Now, I am having the struggle of my life! I work out intensely for an hour 5 times a week. I cut out 95% of processed foods out of my diet and don't eat any red meat in favor of fish and other lean cuts. It has been a month and still nothing.
Am I the only one struggling?

A. You aren't! I have had such a hard time! People always tell me "you just had a baby" well the reality is I had a baby.....7 months ago. I still have 25 lbs to go. I started weight watchers last week and so far so good. I lost 5 lbs last week. Hopefully it will hold up for a while. I don't go to the meetings, I just looked up the info online and am giving it a try.

Does eating raw foods make you lose weight?
Q. My doctor said I need to eat a lot more raw foods but I don't want to lose any weight. I actually want to gain some weight. I'm 5'4 and 100 lbs. Is it possible to eat a lot of raw foods and not lose weight?

A. Eating raw food doesn't make you loose weight. Getting less calories makes you loose weight. That being said, most raw foods are low calorie, so you'll probably have to eat a little more than you do now, but you shouldn't be afraid to eat some fruits and vegetables once in a while.


What are goods foods to eat to help u while losing weight?
Q. Im 14 years old , 135-140 pounds , and I'm 5'3 1/2 . so can someone please make a list of good foods to eat or some foods that help u lose weight . I need a bunch of ppl to answer so I can get an idea !! Please just make a list of something and some sports or exericising tips . Please I'm sick of being a little over weight . PLEASE !

A. A good rule of thumb is to eat close to the source. Generally speaking, every added step in food prepartion tends to make the food less healthy. For example, if you peel, cut up and fry a potato, it's much less healthy than a whole unpeeled baked potato. If you dredge a perfactly healthy fish filet in egg and flour, then add hot oil, it's much less healthy than one simply broiled. Processed foods with lots of flavorings and additives are less healthy than foods with only one or two ingredients.
Lean protein, whole grains, simply prepared or raw fruits an vegetables and healthy unsaturated fats are the basis of a healthy diet.
It's harder to advise about exercise-if it's not someting you enjoy or at least find tolerable, you won't stick with it. So try different sports and workouts based on your preferences and things you like, until you find the right activities for you.
