We know that fat weight gain in excess does not reflect a balanced/healthy diet and exercise lifestyle.  We also know that most weight loss programs have people unknowingly loosing lien body mass (muscle mass and bone density) along with fat loss.  If someone were to loose excessive fat, however, and gain muscle and bone mass, might that show as a benefit to the baby? &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112488" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Fluctuating Weight Between Pregancies Can Affect Unborn Children</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/08/01/Fluctuating-Weight-Between-Pregancies-Can-Affect-Unborn-Children.aspx#112486</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:19:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:112486</guid><dc:creator>katieannpc</dc:creator><description>This is a little confusing for me. I am about 100 pounds overweight and want more children. The time it will take to get to a really healthy weight is more than I want between my children - there is already more time than I cared to have. I have changed my diet for the better already - removing almost all processed foods and cooking at lower&amp;nbsp;temps to retain nutrients. I have started losing weight at a slow, steady rate.&amp;nbsp;So do I compromise and lose some weight and be very cautious of my diet during pregnancy as to not gain unnecessary weight? Or do I need to get to my "ideal" before pregnancy again? I don't want a more of a rollercoaster than needed as that's not healthy either. &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112486" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
