Actually you have it completely backwards. Mom's to be are the only ones whosehealth they ARE concerned about. They are terrified of the backlash of birthdefects so they ONLY say something is safe for them if it has been around forat least 20 years. They will try the fly by night pills on men out the wazoo. Most of those things go by the board withing 5 years (just watch all the lawyerTV commercials for the class action suits against drug companies) Now, as forlosing weight, diet and exercise is really the only way to go. You might seeif you have any underlying issues like thyroid, but other than that avoid thepills.RamonaPS I have to retype my daughters' handiwork all the time so I understand.

lolol- I third that- the smaller ones think they know exactly how to work my laptop !!!! my 3 yr old seems to be pretty good with it now tho- shes fascinated with my screensaver because its my photos so she adores watching herself lol-

as far as the other, yes, they are EXTREMELY cautious when it comes to pregnant and nursing women just like babies. think about it, it toxins can mess up our developed systems, what are they doing to someone who is developing all their system....... sometimes I think they go overboard but ramona is so right- they put out some miracle drug then within a few years they are being sued for death, strokes and a number of other icky things

Stuck,There are a few reasons that any pill meant to beingested by humans is not recommended for pregnant orlactating women (or to consult a physician beforetaking this pill). First and foremost, this'recommendation' is a just a way of saying that theproduct has not been tested on pregnant or lactatingwomen. If you contact your physician and s/he okaysthe pill, you are now a guinea pig.Another thing, some people are just dumb. Dumb peoplelook at a bottle of pills and think, "Hmm. The labelsays to take two pills three times a day. If I take10 pills three times a day, I will getbetter/skinnier/healthier sooner." How many people doyou know who take the recommended dosage of a pill? It is a way for the manufacturer to cover it's butt.Third, as far as dieting goes with breastfeeding,anything you ingest will pass through your milk--fromdairy to wheat to Tylenol to Vitamin C. Any pillsmade for dieting are for adults, and may, even thoughall natural, cause harm to your DD. You don't want toharm her in any way just to lose a few pounds, knowwhat I mean? Breastfeeding is WAY more importantright now! There will be a day when she will not bebreastfeeding and you can take those pills, but enjoythis stage now, but in the grand scheme of things itis truly a short time.And fourth, if you start a strenuous exercise regimen,a fast, a cleanse, etc. your body will push out toxinsand they will exit primarily through the breastmilk,secondarily through sweat, urine, and BM's. Thetoxins your body sheds are not fit for your child! The best way to start losing weight whilebreastfeeding (just my opinion, I am not a doctor orother health professional), is, if you're eating ameal, 75% of the plate should consist of fruits andveggies, and 25% whatever you like. This method wasrecommended by a chiropractor in my local area. Notto mention lots of water.I am still breastfeeding (18.5 months and goingstrong!!!), and I have cut out wheat from my diet(checking for sensitivity in my DD). I lost sixpounds right away, of course I was not a big wheateater to begin with (and it looks like we will becontinuing the wheat elimination ad infinitum). I amholding off on any other weight loss methods until sheis done breastfeeding. I eat as well as I can, takeprobiotics and liquid chlorophyll, and that's about itfor now, although I am working on a supplementschedule to benefit myself and my DD.Samantha> I am looking into ways tohelp myhusband and i loose> weight, but everything i read from just breathing to> all natural pills everything says not intended for> nursing or pregnantw oman? hello don't moms need to> breathe too ( some of them are heavy breathing> things) why is everyone against pregnancvy being> healthy? is it just me?

even natural stuff hun- miracle cures too not just miracle drugs and unfortunately while many things clain to be natural , safe etc they are not or are just as harmful or worse. recently there was a diet pill - "all natural" etc etc and it worked great as it claimed but several folks died as this natural product worked so well because it had cocaine in it but it wasn’t on the label since it was from some south american country where they don’t have to list the ingredients. something to think on I guess.
