Can obese pregnant women safely shed pounds? (Reuters)

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Women who are very obese may be able to safely lose some weight during pregnancy — and possibly reduce their risk of needing a cesarean section, a new study suggests.

The findings, reported in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, add to evidence that at least some obese women may be able to shed pounds during pregnancy without harming themselves or their baby.

But researchers still caution that women should not start a weight-loss diet during pregnancy, and should instead talk with their doctor about any healthy diet and lifestyle changes.

Weight loss in pregnancy linked to benefits, risks (Reuters)

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Obese women who lose weight during pregnancy may have a lower risk of certain pregnancy complications, but — with the exception of extremely obese women — those benefits may be outweighed by negative effects on the baby’s birth size, a new study suggests.

The findings, published in the obstetrics journal BJOG, add to the fairly controversial idea that it can be healthy for obese pregnant women to maintain their pre-pregnancy weight, or even lose a few pounds.

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

Swedish researchers have found that babies born as little as three weeks early have a greater risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In addition, the risk for the disorder increases with each week babies are born prior to their due dates. The report on the study can be found in the online edition of Pediatrics.

An estimated 3 to 5 percent of children and adults in the U.S. develop ADHD. The condition is characterized by difficulties in paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, and in some cases, hyperactivity. The disorder is treated with medication and therapy.

Guide to weight loss success

Thursday, June 6th, 2013

There are diet fads, diet pills, products, and strict protocols that will help you lose weight quickly — and then gain it back twice as fast. We develop relationships with food over the course of our lives, and many turn into addictions and routines.

If we’re not aware of these questions and answers, then no diet, weight loss routine, or supplement will ever work.

‘So easy, a caveman can do it.’  Not only one of the greatest slogans when the ads first came out a few years ago, but also my new motto on my quest to lose 25 pounds in 12 weeks.

I don’t want to think.  Many people think I’ve achieved that goal already (long ago).  But when it comes to dieting, I don’t want to guess.  I want the instructions.  Written down.  Better yet, just give me the food.  Even better:  feed me.
