Good morning,

First let me introduce my self, I'm 37 pregnant with my 4th baby and have been over weight my whole life. A few years ago I lost 65lb and decided to have another baby. I did great and kept the weight off but 3 month post partum the weight kept coming back. I was constantly hungry breast feeding. Fast forward a year and I was under extream stress at work traveling and working 17 hour days needless to say fast food 3 times a day = 65 lb gain in weight plus a surprise pregnancy... I just found out my liver and spleen are swelling and my liver functions declining most likely due to overweight 280 lb I really need to loose the weight. Ten years ago my mother passed away due to liver failure and now my father and brother are going threw this too. I am scared to death I just want to get myself better and healthy asap but being 27 weeks pregnant I can't diet yet and if I breastfeed I can't cut too many calories.
I know this will be a long road and I will be working with my doctors but will need all the support I can get.

Thank you for listening to my rant

Sarah

Hi Sarswa, the secret of accomplishing your goal lies in changing your lifestyle. Eating fast food and constantly being under stress causes more harm than you can imagine. The first thing you can do is to stop all processed/junk food. Focus instead on grass-fed meats, fish, seafood, green leafy vegetables, fruits, seeds and healthy dairy products. This way you will naturally start losing weight and will improve your health without restricting calories. Also, a good idea would be to start doing some mild exercises, such as stairs climbing and walking in the park.

Search for "Paleo lifestyle" or "Paleo diet" in Google, it would change your whole thinking about food.
