David asks…

Can people lose weight while pregnant instead of gaining it?

I’ve heard of women who have become pregnant but lost weight during the pregnancy not gained it as normal. Is this possible and if so how does it work and why does it happen?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yeah its very possible. There are some women who can’t even tell their pregnant even if they took a test.

Ruth asks…

Is it possible to lose weight while pregnant?

I also have a thyroid condition so that’s gunna make it even harder but I know if I get really concentrated I can battle that factor. We are having our first unplanned baby in December but we already made plans to get married the following April. I want to look good at my wedding and I already have some weight to lose never mind baby weight. How long does it take to get rid of baby weight if really concentrated and is it possible to lose weight while still being healthy for the baby?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Ofcourse specially if you have horrible nausea and hardly eat! If you dont gain too much weight you can loose it easily but honestly your main concern should be staying healthy for the baby and dont worry too much about your weight you will be fine for your wedding dont worry good luck!

Charles asks…

How can I lose weight while pregnant?

I know the average is like 15-30 lbs in pregnancy weight gain…but I was trying to lose weight before I found out. I got to a 160 (5’10”) from 130 in like 6 months cause of school and work. Now, Finding out i’m 6 weeks, i don’t want to end up at like 200 lbs in the end of my pregnancy.
How can i lose weight healthy without affecting my pregnancy OR how can I keep it that this will be my constant weight since technically I should’ve been back at 130?

Any ideas? I really don’t wanna get to 200 lbs….please help!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose- considering that you are pregnant – women need about 300cal more so dont take off any calories of maintaining weight number
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast – they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner – repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
Ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Sandy asks…

Question about calories and weight loss?

I entered my weight/height/age into a kind of Weight loss Calculator and it told me in order to loose weight:

” You will need to burn 614 KCal/day more than you consume. ”

Does that mean if I eat say 1400 calories, I have to burn 2014 calories?
LOL well I wanted to see, so I can just burn X amount of calories skipping rope 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

No just burn 614 calories making your calorie intake at the end of the day 1214 making you lose weight.

Sharon asks…

Do you think becoming a dietitian will be a good career?

I am thinking about becoming a dietitian, but I’m not sure if it will be a good career for me. I just want to know if anyone else is becoming a dietitian or is a dietitian and if they like it or not.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes, it is a good career. Doctors often use dietitians to help their patients develop an ideal diet. This is very important in the age of obesity. The pay is fine, you won’t run out of clientele, and you have the personal reward of helping people.

Joseph asks…

What are some good colleges in Chicago to become a dietitian?

I want to move to a bigger city and transfer schools. Are there any good schools in chicago for a dietitian?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Loyola School of Nursing, Niehoff I think the name is, Has a dietitian program both bachelors and masters.
I would check with the American Dietetic Association
http://www.cdrnet.org/
They are HQ in Chicago and have referral and intern services.
There are a lot of off the wall holistic or weird specialty schools around. They have agendas and your degree would mean noting.

Donald asks…

Any other good exercises to lose weight rather than running?

I hear people who run lose weight fast. But I really despise running, any other types of exercises that would have the same benefits as running? Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You could swim if you have access to a pool.
You could also just walk or jog at a steady pace.
Playing tennis and basketball are great exercises.

Just do something you enjoy doing, then you won’t get tired/bored of doing it after a while.

Jenny asks…

Will I be able to lose weight running on a treadill the same way as if I where to run outdoors?

I really don’t know my weight at this time but if I am correct my weight estimate is probably about 179. I want to lose at least 40lbs by next year summertime. I really need to tone my abs. I have to much in the ab department. My clothes don’t fit right, I really need help.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Running on a treadmill has less resistance than outdoors, but is MUCH gentler on your joints. Most treadmills allow you to adjust incline, which can cause more of a work out. So yes, you can lose the weight on a treadmill…and you can use the treadmill year round, good weather or bad.

Helen asks…

will i lose weight running 12 miles a week?

i want to lose 25 pounds and i already started running i run 3 miles 3 days a week and then 1 mile the rest of the week.. i wanna know if will lose a lot of weight without getting huge muscles and stuff because that looks bad on girls?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have lost 82 lbs in 8 months. I currently run 3 miles, 4X a week. It depends on your speed, metabolism & the current weight you are at now. The heavier you are, obviously the quicker & most weight comes off. You will not get huge muscles, you will just looked “toned” which is more attractive to me as well. Again, it is also a mixture of diet & running that will make you lose the weight quicker. Eat more protein such as eggwhites, chicken, turkey & I like the Balance energy bar because it is only 200 calories & it gives me 15 grams of protein right after running. Protein builds lean muscle faster which in turn will also make you lose weight quicker. Good Luck to ya. : )
