Just a curiosity what can I do to lose weight while pregnant? Besides more exercise and calorie counting

Follow a gestational diabetes diet and walk a lot

Don’t do that.

Also, calorie counting is super unhealthy because everyone’s body requires a different amount of calories to maintain their weight... Look at how many you’re technically supposed to have. It’s way more than a 1500 diet.

I was upset when I found out I lost almost 25 pounds when I was pregnant. I was eating WAY MORE but I was eating healthy only. I was also working full time and constantly on my feet. ☹️ I gained it all back in the 3rd trimester, but don’t “try” to lose weight until after you give birth.

Losing weight while pregnant isn’t a good idea, not healthy for the baby.

Don’t focus on losing weight, but being healthy. Eat right, and go on walks. I would park far out whatever store I went to, so I could fit in some walks.

Unless you are already overweight, losing weight while pregnant is not recommended. Even then, people that are carrying extra weight are encouraged to eat healthier and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Not purposely try to lose weight.

Talk to your doc. Not recommended to lose on purpose while pregnant, cause then baby may not get the nutrients it needs. Some women lose in the beginning, but mostly due to morning sickness.

Nothing. Eating HEALTHY and exercising (how you did prior) to being pregnant but it’s not advised for pregnant women to lose weight.
