When pregnant women to be difficult to eat or are prone to frequent vomiting, which leads to weight loss, the fetus may also weigh light. So, now hypothesis that obese mothers during pregnancy, the baby must be big.
Normally, the weight of the mother during pregnancy has been rising. However, if the child in the womb, do not experience weight gain or increased, but not so important, should be a little disappointing.

Fat But Healthy
The heavy body would be ideal, the dream of all peoples. If the excess fat can cause alias owners who feel inferior and threatened their health.
Dangers of obesity, that is, some of the experts. One of them said Professor Emeritus of Clinical Biochemistry, University of Surrey, Dr. Vincent Marks. “The amount of the obesity epidemic exaggerated,” said Marks, as recently reported by the AP.
Marks is one of the experts doubt the threat of obesity. They said that the dangers of obesity are mixed and little evidence that fat is the trigger for many diseases like hypertension, heart disease and cancer.
Of course it is contrary statements by physicians to this end is to blame for obesity disorders such as diabetes, beyond heart disease, kidneys and nerves. In fact, the evidence also says that cancer caused by weight gain.
Diabetes “The evidence linking obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease is very high. Type 2 is often those who are not overweight experienced,” said Dr. James Hill, director of the Center for Human Nutrition University of Colorado.
However, unlike the experts say there is no data on large dangerous. Eric Oliver, author of the politics of fat and a political science professor at the University of Chicago, there is no cause and effect convincingly.
Blaming obesity for diabetes and heart attacks, according to Oliver, as the fault of lung cancer to bad breath when smoking. He said the weight gain can be a distraction, compared with other factors such as exercise, diet or genetic predisposition to certain diseases, is more difficult than measuring weight.
Since the British government that about half of overweight people were warned in 2050 experience.
According to experts, who doubt the threat, the main problem is that too many people who are considered overweight, with obesity or overweight condition.
“When in a lowered state of health is not a weakness. Some people are overweight may not be thin, but are in a healthy state,” Marks said.
As the World Health Organization or the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), which takes into account a person with a body mass index or BMI over 25 are overweight. So people who are the types of body mass index over 30, the category of large obesity. Most experts agree, is not perfect category.

How To Eat The Stretch Waist
Many who claim to have learned the rules of proper diet, but weight has never been successfully bred. Where is the blame?
Elisa Zied, RD, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, says most of us know that he had sabotaged our own food. The sabotage, law, say the authors of Zied feed your family! we actually do when receiving a weight loss program.
Examples:
Cut off excess calories.
Admittedly, this reduces the number of calories per day is a way to lose weight. But not cut too many calories, the alarm only hormones that send signals of hunger in our heads. The hormone ghrelin. To say more wisely, use the formula to compensate. The formula is well balanced, not skipping breakfast and to reduce the share of the dinner. If we eat too much at night, have breakfast, a timetable for when we come for lunch, eat too much.
Safe to 450 calories for breakfast every morning, as the rye bread and egg contents of low fat cheese, along with a glass of fruit juice. “This menu allows us to meet for lunch,” said George L. Blackburn, MD, PhD, Department of Nutrition at Harvard Medical School and author of Break Through Your Set Point. According to Blackburn, where we can meet the management of appetite, we eat the same foods at every meal.
Irregular meals. According to a study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, published when we eat regularly does not mean that we can reduce the weight of the food, even if successful. Based on research conducted in 2005, women who ate at the same time every day was able to burn more calories. This makes starting insulin, which means they save themselves from the risk of insulin resistance leading to obesity and diabetes.
It’s smarter, try to count how many times a day, we eat, snacks, main meals snack. Then take note of when hungry and eat regularly at this time. So we’ve Zied recommends a daily intake of what you eat, or food diary. Relax, prevention is already providing its my daily food. These records, the conscience, choose healthy foods with a healthy dose of it.
Sort opted to count calories. Without knowing that, every calorie of food we eat. For example, fish or chicken. D. Milton Stokes, MPH, RD., From Bowling Green State University, explains, does not mean that the food in the health food category, if you do not need to count calories. This will change our healthy eating healthy because we eat too much. “Like a bowl of almonds, about 200 calories, but when added in excessive amounts, it is not possible, the weight loss program, be administered. Smarter, the calories we consume calculated. Despite our food is only ½ cup of cereal and do not forget to eat without too much!
Create a short-term goal. Estimates from the National Registry of Weight Control received only 20 percent of program directors for the success of the system, an ideal weight for over a year to maintain. Now, after achieving the goal, desired weight, they turned to eat poorly. But for players who can put a diet plan that aims to reduce or maintain an ideal body weight is gradually increased from year to year. Smarter, start is with small changes that lead to success. After giving them the confidence to reach higher goals. Thus, the resolution of our healthy lifestyle is not only lasted a year, but always and forever, because we have made as a way of life.
The traps did not impress in the label, low in fat. Cornell University has made a small study of 2 types of chocolate at the Open University. First, without the label of contents of a low-fat chocolate and the second is the label. The result, 28 percent of the visitors to choose a label with a low fat content. But did not do enough, because eating low-fat labels have been invited to give a little chocolate logs. Smarter, not content with just the label. Stay recall their consumption of foods labeled as low-fat too restrictive.
