Its not a good idea to diet at all. It
will deprive your unborn baby of many
things. When you diet your body releases
a chemical that can harm your baby. I
can't remember what its called but I can
look it up and get back to you. I suggest
you read the book what to eat when your
expecting it will give you alot of help
with your diet during and after pregnancy.
Good luck.

I understand your need to feel like
dieting while pregnant. However, it is
not a good idea. What you can do is this
and it is perfectly healthy while
pregnant. You can look at the atkins diet
and not do the weight loss plan, but you
can do the sustaining the weight loss
plan. I had to do something similar with
my son because I had gestational diabetes.
I only gained 20 lbs. During pregnancy.
Which, they thought was great because I
myself started out overweight .

Dieting While Pregnant Posted: 07-09-04 08:18am
I don't think it's selfish at all to try
to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle
while pregnant and not to gain too much
weight. Check out www.Pregnancywithoutpounds
.Com - that had alot of useful
information.
If you are already overweight when you
become pregnant - you should only gain 15
to 25 pounds tops.

Its not good to diet.. .But eating more
healthfully and watching what you eat is
okay. Ive been doing that (im 38 1/2
weeks) but really actually dieting isnt
ok.

don't actually diet, just eat healthier.
does that make sense? dieting can cause
you to cut yourself short of valuable
nutrients which are especially important
to your baby. just focus on eating healthy
foods.
