Pregnancy Without Pounds

I had SO MANY questions. These were just a few... 

? How much weight "should" I gain? Am I gaining weight too fast?

? What exercises are safe for pregnancy and what can I do to stay toned?

? Which foods should I eat? Which do I need to avoid?

? How can I prevent stretch marks, sagging breasts and cellulite? 

? What do I need to do to have an easy delivery?

? What should I be doing now to speed up my weight loss after?

I started to do a TON of research and found information that even with my background in fitness and nutrition I was stunned. The good news is that after hours and hours of research and talking to many healthy experts I did find all the answers.

Here's just some of what I found...

Most New Moms Let Themselves Go...

They indulge in their cravings, stop exercising and use pregnancy as an excuse to eat the house – I've got to admit even as health conscious as I was, chocolate sundaes we're just too tempting!

Do you find yourself making excuses like "Well if I'm craving it, then it may have something in it that the baby needs." While sometimes this is true - but it can also be dead wrong. I decided to crack the craving puzzle. I found that while there are some cravings that are GOOD and do tell you what you are lacking in your diet. Others are a sign of a poor diet or overindulgence. For instance if you're craving foods with a lot of sodium, it's probably a sign that you are eating too many foods that are high in sugar. Once I learned the code, it was SO MUCH EASIER to handle the cravings and deal with them in the right way.
