During the first trimester loss of appetite is quite normal. Just make sure that you are making yourself eat at least something, be taking your vitamins, and make healthy choices. It sounds like your chooses aren’t bad at all!! Once your appetite picks up is when you’ll want to be sure that you’re eating right. I have attached a few websites that have helped me with menu idea and healthy exercises.

I am 11 weeks, and going through the same thing! Congrats and your new little one!

No, I’m a 6 year SUCCESSFUL raw foodist. I’m 28, my skin is pretty, I have muscle and I think clearly.

You need more calories for the morning or your energy level will be low and you will crave cooked food.

Apples have very low calories per volume. Should be more like 6 oranges, 2 apples.

In general, 6 pounds of fruit contains enough protein to equal the 32grams you supposedly should be eating each day. Don’t listen to the protein preachers, don’t even mention your diet to them because you’ll never hear the end of it.

Here are some tips.

Rawfood PowerHouse Diet:

8am……………….Meal 1 – Smoothie: 8 bananas, 4 celery stalks; Eat: 2 leaves black kale
12pm……………. Meal 2 – Eat: 6 oranges, 2 leaves black kale
3pm……………….Meal 3 – Eat: 1lb any berries, 2 leaves black kale
6pm……………….Meal 4 – Eat: 1lb Salad, Mixed Greens Only, 0% fat dressing is o.k. To use, no more than 1 tbls.

Notes:

Buy a large bowl for home & a medium sized cooler to put in the trunk of your car

Buy enough fruit so that you have 4 days worth everytime

Eat fruit only when it is ripe

ALWAYS eat greens with the fruit, it cleans the teeth and keeps them super bright white, without the greens, your teeth will start to turn yellow. Fruit in grocery stores is modified to have 10x the sugar than they used to, the greens are important.

No tomato in the salad unless it’s Hierloom

No avocado or nuts, the fat from both will stop the fruit sugar from entering your system and drain you of energy… the nuts will mix with the fruit sugar and destroy your gum line and teeth

Never eat in the 2 hours before bedtime, the best sleep comes on a un-full stomach

No more than a glass of organic (no sulfites) wine a day (hey, we are only human)

Have fun, don’t let your diet be your life.

If it makes you look good and feel good, do it!

You could order a side salad and a shrimp cocktail. That is tasty and filling and diet-worthy. Most menus provide healthy and calorie conscious entrees. Avoiding temptation will be the biggest challenge. Just stick to your diet. It should be no problem.

Well your in a tough situation because it is hard with kids that young. You can eat anything they do but eat half of your normal amount. Add a salad or a fruit salad to everyone’s meal.
Fruit is sweet enough for most kids, and veggies taste great with a little low cal ranch and reduced fat cheese.

admin answers:

Ummm, ordering a McDonald’s kids meal is still a crappy diet choice. Just because the salty, fatty burger and fries are smaller doesn’t mean they’re not still salty and fatty. Try actually eating healthy foods that are low in calories (i.e. Have a nice salad with grilled chicken)…

admin answers:

You’re not fat lmao, don’t worry about it but onto the important part. Limit your fast food intake to one or two every two weeks, and cut down on soda as much as you can.

Btw I’d start exercising cause a diets kinda pointless without lifting/plyometrics/cardio.

admin answers:

Lots of:
Vegetables (steamed, not raw)
Clear vegetable based broths
Poached fish or chicken breast (use the water for a soup)
Fresh non-citrus fruit juices (buy a juicer, it’s worth the $$)
Brown rice, whole grain pasta and potatoes (sweet or white) – go easy on these portions

No:
Oils/fats of any kind (incl. Margarine)
Refined sugars of any kind
Caffeine
Diet sodas or teas or drinks
Bread of any kind
Definitely no alcohol
Salt

NB: Do not bother to count calories – these good calories will nourish your body while the herbs do the work.

2 weeks and you’ll feel awesome. Good luck!

I learned recently that excess weight is not always due to excess body fat, a lot of unwanted weight is simply sitting around in the insides. I used a brand new diet supplement that is taking the nation by storm, it rinses out the insides. I do not know how it operates however I know that I lost seventeen lbs and 5 inches from my waistline! There’s a risk free trial at http://fetoturs.voxelperfect.net

Hereditary conditions.
People who have a family history of high cholesterol and blood
pressure are more likely to develop it.
Doctors usually start patients on a lower cholesterol diet before
they decide to give the medications to lower it. This is done
to see whether the food she takes in (which you said she
doesn’t) contain alot of cholesterol. If it doesn’t lower with
the special diet, then a decision of whether this is normal
for the patient and won’t cause a problem, or it is too high
and should be lowered with drugs. (like Statins)
She should write down everything she may eat in the day
and try to do that for a couple of weeks…then when she
has the next blood tests, the doctor can see that it isn’t
coming from that (looking at her list)…should the levels
stay higher.

The same is true for high blood pressure. This can come
from being under alot of stress or kidney problem or
even a heart circulation problem. It can also be
hereditary. You can get a blood pressure machine at
the local drug store and she could take her blood pressure
more frequently. (Some people’s blood pressure goes higher
in the doctor office, just because they are there) If the doctor
thought she was using too much salt (because of leg swelling,
etc) he would place her on a lower sodium diet and tell her
how much fluids and sodium she would be allowed per day.
Sodium is one of the electrolytes that keeps the heart beating
in rhythm, so this has to be watched closely by blood testing,
to be sure it stays at a certain level in the blood (should she
be placed on a lower sodium diet or diuretics).
[There are different types of blood pressure lowering drugs}

Checking her thyroid is a good thing, even if she doesn’t
have a family history of it. It sounds like he is trying to see
if her metabolism is slower due to the thyroid not producing
enough hormone, Thyroxine, to regulate it well. Having a
slow metabolism can effect every organ of the body
and make her tired. She would easily gain weight no
matter what it is that she ate. The thyroid could also
have an effect on her cholesterol levels being higher.
If this is a thyroid problem…then she would be started on
a replacement of the thyroid hormone (levothyroxine)
and this would have to be checked by blood tests
being done until the levels are within normal range and
stay that way for her.

It sounds like you have a doctor that is trying his best
to be sure he covers all bases in fiquring out what may be
wrong. This can only be done by the testing results he
may receive.

Try sparkpeople, or that new book deceptively delicious. There is also a book, and magazine called eating well, they have really great recipes. There is always ediets, they charge a fee though.

admin answers:

Buy the New Dieter’s Cookbook. It’s a gold mine for low calorie, tasty, healthy meals. I bought that book in 2000 and it’s a good cookbook if you want to lose weight (I don’t know about more recent editions) especially if you have kids as my kids are pretty fussy eaters but loved most of the recipes I make with that book.

I don’t need to lose weight anymore but I still use that book. It should not be called the “New Dieter’s Cookbook” but the “Healthy, low calorie, fulfilling and scrumptious Cookbook”.

They don’t cut corners. They have a lot of ingredients (which is why the recipes taste so good) and you can adapt them, omit things you don’t like or don’t have, use better/fresher ingredients (I never use anything frozen and I only use my own homemade chicken stock).

The only problem with that book is that it has hundred of recipes (like 400?) but once you find 50 that you really like and do them over and over, you don’t want to experiment further and might miss out on the other 350 recipes. Like it’s in my “to do” list…doing a recipe from that book that I’ve never done before.

1, Yes, there is a better diet. Some suggestions are to use whole grain bread for the toast if you need toast and skip the peanut butter, it is high in fat and calories as well as sugar unless it is the natural PB.
Orange juice is mostly sugar, lose that.

The mainstay of any long term healthy diet is going to consist of lean meats, poultry and fish grilled, blackened or baked. Veggies steamed or boiled or microwaved like green beans, brocolli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts.. Avoid white potatos.

Fruits can add calories and sugar so shoot for the low glycemic ones like berries, strawberries, cherries, apple.

Burning more calories than you take in is the definition of losing weight so yes, of course its ok.

The HCG diet works for women. I’ve done extensive research and studies on this diet.

You must use legitimate HCG (injectable or sublingual). Do not fall for the many HCG scams out there today, especially the supplement variety. HCG is a prescription drug. The HCG drug is about $60 for a vial of 10,000 IUs, of course it requires a prescription. You can find an “anti aging” doctor in your area that will prescribe this. Some doctors that prescribe HCG might charge a higher consultation fee to administer it.

The many tests you will see referenced pointing to the HCG diet not working are flawed tests. These tests used many male subjects and men respond totally different to HCG than women do. Additionally, these tests failed to administer the diet correctly and used improper doses of the HCG compound.

The reason the HCG diet works for women is that it changes the her body chemistry. It tricks her body into thinking it is pregnant allowing her to eat as little as 500 calories a day and it not affect her health adversely.

Normally when eating a 500 calorie diet, an individual would lose muscle tissue as a result of inadequate calorie intake. The body would preserve and protect body fat and break down muscle tissue for survival reasons.

When HCG is present it causes her body to think she is pregnant and it will start accessing body fat stores for energy rather than muscle tissue. It will also decrease her appetite causing her to not have a hungry feeling all the time.

But you have to follow the HCG diet exactly without wavering. Any slip up will knock her out of the chemical state that HCG put her in.

Of course, after the diet, you cannot just start eating anything you want and expect to keep the weight off. The HCG diet does not correct your bad habits.

I currently have a 42 yr old client that is on the HCG diet and she has lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks with zero strength loss. She has been working out 4-6 days a week on cardio and weight training all of her life and had hit a wall. It seems like no matter what she did, she couldn’t lose weight past a certain point. The HCG diet put her over the threshold and she feels better than ever. But it does require discipline and work. You have to stick to the strict diet exactly, no exceptions.

A very good resource to learn about the HCG diet is a forum at: http://hcgdietinfo.com/hcgdietforums/for…

Good luck!

Hi,

I graduated high school at 240 pounds and at 5 foot 3 that made me about as round as I was tall. I was one of those overweight teenagers who ate anything and everything without any regard to the effects it was having on my own body. Therefore, I began the diet pills, which did not work; I ate the special diet foods and even began drinking diet beverages. None of this stuff worked for me, just as it does not work for millions of overweight people. Eating less did not work and I was not one to work out or even get up and do anything remotely related to exercise. I knew I would look silly and it would hurt. I never thought or really cared about the health effects this would have on me, back then.

A year ago after a successful weight loss plan, now at 120 pounds, it is a major difference. I’ve lost 30 pounds in the first month. The most significant change in my life is the amount of energy I now have and the way my clothes fit loosely. Everyone close to me and people I haven’t seen in a while are amazed and tell me that I look really good. This is a life changing experience for me although at first I was skeptical about the weight loss plan.

Our own metabolism system play a vital part in controlling the amount of body fat burned in the process of providing energy to the body. Knowledge about our own metabolism function is the mother to all weight loss programs. With the knowledge you not only reduce your weight but able to maintain an ideal weight and living a healthy life.The weight loss program has proven to be effective in the short and long-term, without need to endure starvation and without any daily athletic workout. (But taking a light exercise every few days is highly recommended). Best of all you can eat what you most enjoyed without gaining any weight The weight loss program is affordable by all and do not need to pay a monthly fees to use it. In contrast to diet pills regime where you need to buy it on a regular basis and the amount of lose weight will reversed back when you stop consuming it.

The success has inspired me to help others and i am sure you won’t be disappointed. The link is at the source below and discover how you can become noticeably thinner in 11 days by eating in a way you’ll actually enjoy.

You should eat everything in moderation, even red meat, because it is very high in B12 vitamins. In other countries the portions of food is half the size than here. Breast cancer is higher in the US because women work in offices with artificial light. Sunlight is a big issue in breast health, because it develops vitamin D, which is protecting the breast. In Europe it is against the law to work in an office without windows and here in the states, if you have a window in your office it’s blocked with mini blinds. US is the number one country with the highest breast cancer rate.

Look at the people who live in the mountains and people hunt for the meat they eat and grow vegetables. Those people make their own wine and drink it and even smoke pipes. They eat butter, cheese and meat and they live to be a 100 years old. Stress is another factor and to work in the USA is very demanding. You are like a number who has to produce a certain number of “Whatever”. This country has less vacation than any other country. Stress is not only causing heart attacks, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, it is also the cause of cancer.

You have a good general idea of how to form a meal plan.

You want to stay away from processed foods and refined sugar. Look up “glycemic index” http://www.freedieting.com/glycemic_index.htm

Read your labels. A granola bar may sound healthy but most of them are loaded with sugar, which you don’t want. Maybe have an apple instead. Try skipping the condiments. Mayo is all fat and most other condiments are filled with sugar. Instead of eating white rice or white bread look for brown rice and whole grain breads and snacks. You probably crave chips for the crunch and salt so nuts may be a good alternative. While nuts may have more fat than other snacks they are actually better for you and in the long run will help you loss weight. If you have a Whole Foods around it is a good place to go for healthy snacks.

If you add lots of fresh veggies and lean meat to your diet you can still eat well and lose weight.

Good Luck!
