Healthy Eating & Exercise during Pregnancy

Many of us think that when you are pregnant, it's the ultimate excuse to pig out on junk foods. Though you're eating for two, this is the worst time to load up on empty calories like fast food & soft drinks. While it is necessary to gain weight during a pregnancy, eating healthy foods are essential in the development of the fetus.

 Adding an additional 250-350 healthy calories a day will not only increase your chances of delivering a healthy baby, you will also avoid gaining tons of post baby fat. It's okay to indulge in a pregnancy craving every now & then, just enjoy them in moderation.  


Thinking you may harm the baby by exercising during pregnancy is another problem that will leave you with unwanted post baby weight. Prenatal exercise helps women get back in shape.

*Doing light to moderate exercise (consult with your doctor)

*Closely monitoring your heart rate as well as your body temperature.  

*Be careful with movements that require extensive lower back  movements

So contrary to popular belief; through healthy eating and exercise,  you can bounce back to a sexy post baby body if you are proactive. 


Note: Always consult with your physician before exercising or making changes to your diet while pregnant.
