What are the risks of losing weight while pregnant?

Q. I'm overweight and losing weight. I'm not doing it on purpose. Actually I'm trying to eat more every day, but I keep losing a quarter pound a day. I'm not vomiting at all. I don't know why this is happening and I can't seem to stop it. What are the risks to the baby if I continue to lose weight?
I'm eating about 3x what I normally would eat before I got pregnant. More than double my husband.
Just wanted to let everyone know that my first trimester is almost over and I have stopped losing weight.
Even though I lost a few pounds, my belly is still growing outward and very round. In fact, it looks like I've gained weight.
Thanks so much for all of your advice and concern. I did check with a doctor and also went for a second opinion. Everything is fine since I'm a super healthy eater. They assume the weight loss is from all the sleep that I have been doing.
Thanks again everyone.

A. As long as you are not doing it on purpose, you are fine. Just make sure you are eating what you are supposed to be eating. I have lost and gained weight throughout my entire pregnancy. I once lost 9 lbs in just a few days. My doctor said as long as I'm drinking enough water and I'm eating what I'm supposed to be eating, the baby will be fine. Fetuses take what they need, even if it's at the expense of the mother. So, basically, your baby is taking from you and that's why you are losing the weight. Just bring it up at your next doctor's appointment. But I wouldn't worry about it.

What is a good way 2 exercise without losing weight?

Q. I want to exercise without losing weight,in fact i want to gain weight in the asses.

A. If you are trying to maintain your weight while getting toned the best way to do it is to consume the same amount of calories as you burn, a good way I know how to burn the same amount of calories you consume is to keep a log of what you eat and how many calories it has, and a very good website for calorie amounts in foods and how many calories an exercise works off in my opinion is http://caloriecount.about.com/ and if you want to just gain a little weight the way to do it is to work off less calories that you consume, but this is not a good way to gain weight because fat will build around your muscles, but you can do exercises including leg lifts and I believe lunges can help tone your bottom. And I would also like to say that gaining weight and losing weight does not necessarily mean getting fatter because weight can also be gained in muscle mass, which is a good thing for your body.

What is the difference between losing weight and losing inches?

Q. Can ssomeone please tell me what the difference is between losing weight and losing inches. I was advised that working out on the treadmill loses inches and not weight but isn't that the same thing?

Also what are Cardio machines?..does a stepper count as a Cardio machine?

Thanks ;o)

A. Losing weight means losing pounds, while losing inches means losing size, or getting smaller. Often times when people increase their exercise, they do not lose much weight but end up losing inches. This is because muscle is heavier than fat, but takes up less room. This is why size measurement are usually more accurate than weight. Working out on the treadmill you could lose both inches and weight, but since your legs would become more toned, you probably wouldn't lose all that much weight.

When people refer to a cardio machine, they just mean a machine that allows you to work your cardiovascular system (your heart). This includes an elyptical or stepper, a bike, or a treadmill. You don't need a machine, though. Running and walking are great exercises, and you don't need a treadmill to do them. Swimming is another great exercise.

What is the better way to work out for losing weight: working out with weights first and then aerobics or do a?

Q. What is the better way to work out for losing weight: working out with weights first and then aerobics or do aerobics first?

A. Let me put it simply you are not out to lose weight you really are planning to decrease your overall fat composition and increase your muscle mass. Well to begin to answer what type of weight are you interested in losing. I will assume that you are like most Americans and are interested in increasing lean muscle mass. So therefore you wish to decrease your body fat percentage and hopefully increase your metabolism.
Weights properly used combined with a balanced diet are the fastest way to do both. By lifting weights, getting proper rest, and eating a nutritious diet i have found to be a far more effective approach than to spend hours doing aerobics.

Lets face it during a typical 30 minute aerobics session you burn 400 calories eating a typical cheese burger negates that progress. However if you lift free weights i.e. barbells or dumbells to increase your overall muscle mass so that you burn more calories a day at a more constant rate ;this combined with a diet wholly composed of things other than processed foods you will feel much better in the long run. Now by increasing lean muscle mass i do not mean that you will bulk up to be the incredible hulk. Here are a few things to implement into your workout.

1)high intensity exercise is far more effective than a low intensity exercise such as aerobics. interval training, sprints and the like..

2)proper diet, adequate sleep, and free weights(diet being the most important)

3)avoiding processed foods and drink lots of water

What is one of the fastest ways to lose weight?

Q. I know losing weight fast is unhealthy. But I don't care. And if I start losing weight ill work out so I stay toned. I just need something that will work. NO diets. They don't work. I've tried them ALL! Just a quick way to lose weight so I can starts sliming up and then tone.

A. Ways To Lose Weight Fast

3. Limit any treats containing sugar to three times per week. This includes chocolate, desserts, ice cream, cake, cookies, pastries, etc.

4. You should include a lower fat source of protein at most meals: fish, chicken, beans, cottage cheese, or low fat yogurt. Have nuts, eggs and red meat occasionally but not every every single day.

5. You should plan at least one dinner and lunch every week without cheese or meat. Build those meals around whole grains, vegetables and beans to increase fiber and reduce fat.

6. Reduce the fat content in your milk products. If you are currently drinking whole milk, reduce to 2% fat. From 2% reduce to 1%. Choose lower fat cheese and yogurt. When you buy yogurt, also check that it does not contain sugar.

7. Have at least two servings of fruit every day. This can be for dessert or snacks. Choose fruit that is in season.

8. Drink water instead of sodas, juices, milky drinks or alcohol. Avoid diet soda � the sweet taste only encourages you to crave sugar. Hot water with a slice of lemon can be very refreshing in the morning.

9. Include at least two servings of vegetables at lunch and dinner. If you are getting hungry, have more.

10. Eat slowly. The body is slow to register when you are full and it is easy to eat too much if you are racing through your meals.

What is the difference between losing weight and losing inches?

Q. I've been working out and I've lost 6 lbs, and I notice a significant weight loss and saw some loss of inches in my waist; and I was going to go to a spa and I wanted to get a "European Body Wrap", and they have said that the body wrap doesn't make you lose weight, it just gets rid of inches. So what is the difference? I thought by losing weight you also lost inches, I didn't think they were two different things.

A. Ok girl I'll lay this one out for you. Losing weight is just losing overall weight, like going from 120 to 116. Losing inches mean you may weigh the same but its just distributed differently, like your waist goes from 22" to 20" but you still weight 120. Hope this helps!

How to lose weight with a sluggish thyroid?

Q. I have early stage graves disease and it has made losing weight one of the most annoying and frustrating things ever. I have cut out fast food, eat less chocolate, eaten more healthier foods, I walk everyday and nothing. I have maybe lost two pounds but I need to lose more than that.

A. Duvet,

Trying to lose weight with an underworking thyroid is like a bird trying to fly without wings. Remember, thyroids regulate the speed of your metabolism, and this is crucial to ensure an effective use of foods and distribution of macronutrients in your system.

There are things wich use you should decrease, while there are other things you should remove permanently if you want to see results. By the way, chocolate, coffe, dairies, eggs, soy, cabbgae, broccoli and its whole family, white sugar, fried foods, sodas and high-stress proteins should be completely removed form your diet.

Duvet, dare to go on raw foods for at least 45 days. You will not regret it. When you do so, more than 300 enzymatic complexes in your body will be reset, and chances are that your thyroid may respond fantastically to it. One thing I know: you'll be benefitted greatly, even if your thyroids do not recover 100%.

Vitamin B6, Iodine from natural sources (kelp, seaweed, etc.), Magnesium, and--since you have Grave's Disease--an immune modulator like Transfer Factor Plus or others similar, will help you great deal.

Good luck! :)

How long does it take for breasts to shrink after losing weight?

Q. I really want mine to get smaller. I have been losing weight in a healthy way for 3 weeks now.

What are the complications of losing weight ?

Q. What are the complications of losing weight, that you know of?

I know over all, losing weight is a good thing. But after losing a significant amount you could have a "empty bag" syndrome. 1. loose skin hanging down 2. turkey neck 3. more wrinkles on your face 5. half empty hanging breasts, etc.

Do you know of any more complications?

A. Losing weight in order to achieve a healthier weight is a good thing! But losing weight in an unhealthy way such as starving, throwing up, and other bad ways will result in loose skin and all of the things you mentioned. If you want proof, I know a person that is really close to me, and he/she dropped 140 lbs in like a year in an unhealthy manner. Stufff went downhill and he/she looked a lot weaker, got the gross stuff you mentioned in your questioned, and DID get weaker both athletically and strength wise. Another proof is that the people on TV such as the biggest looser lost tons of weight and look good after the show. I am assuming that they were watched carefully by many experts, trainers, doctors and such in order to loose weight in a healthy manner. I hope this answers your question.

If you are trying to maintain your weight while getting toned the best way to do it is to consume the same amount of calories as you burn, a good way I know how to burn the same amount of calories you consume is to keep a log of what you eat and how many calories it has, and a very good website for calorie amounts in foods and how many calories an exercise works off in my opinion is http://caloriecount.about.com/ and if you want to just gain a little weight the way to do it is to work off less calories that you consume, but this is not a good way to gain weight because fat will build around your muscles, but you can do exercises including leg lifts and I believe lunges can help tone your bottom. And I would also like to say that gaining weight and losing weight does not necessarily mean getting fatter because weight can also be gained in muscle mass, which is a good thing for your body.

What is the difference between losing weight and losing inches?

Q. I've been working out and I've lost 6 lbs, and I notice a significant weight loss and saw some loss of inches in my waist; and I was going to go to a spa and I wanted to get a "European Body Wrap", and they have said that the body wrap doesn't make you lose weight, it just gets rid of inches. So what is the difference? I thought by losing weight you also lost inches, I didn't think they were two different things.

A. Ok girl I'll lay this one out for you. Losing weight is just losing overall weight, like going from 120 to 116. Losing inches mean you may weigh the same but its just distributed differently, like your waist goes from 22" to 20" but you still weight 120. Hope this helps!

How to lose weight with a sluggish thyroid?

Q. I have early stage graves disease and it has made losing weight one of the most annoying and frustrating things ever. I have cut out fast food, eat less chocolate, eaten more healthier foods, I walk everyday and nothing. I have maybe lost two pounds but I need to lose more than that.

A. Duvet,

Trying to lose weight with an underworking thyroid is like a bird trying to fly without wings. Remember, thyroids regulate the speed of your metabolism, and this is crucial to ensure an effective use of foods and distribution of macronutrients in your system.

There are things wich use you should decrease, while there are other things you should remove permanently if you want to see results. By the way, chocolate, coffe, dairies, eggs, soy, cabbgae, broccoli and its whole family, white sugar, fried foods, sodas and high-stress proteins should be completely removed form your diet.

Duvet, dare to go on raw foods for at least 45 days. You will not regret it. When you do so, more than 300 enzymatic complexes in your body will be reset, and chances are that your thyroid may respond fantastically to it. One thing I know: you'll be benefitted greatly, even if your thyroids do not recover 100%.

Vitamin B6, Iodine from natural sources (kelp, seaweed, etc.), Magnesium, and--since you have Grave's Disease--an immune modulator like Transfer Factor Plus or others similar, will help you great deal.

Good luck! :)
