Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) are Vital for Baby Brain Development


In Pregnancy Without Pounds, Michelle Moss reminds us that Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are a vital nutrient during pregnancy both for your baby and for you, the new Mom.

EFAs are absolutely necessary during pregnancy for the development of your baby's brain.  Your baby's central nervous system and immune system depend upon essential fatty acids.


A great benefit of ingesting EFAs is that they help to control appetite and reduce food cravings.

The best sources of EFAs are:
  • salmon or other oily fish
  • nuts and seeds
  • green leafy vegetables
Just as necessary during pregnancy is the nutrient Magnesium which helps to develop proper bone growth in your baby and after delivery, magnesium is important as it helps to repair your uterus muscles.
Foods high in magnesium content are: nuts, seeds, whole grains, salad greens and soybeans.
When I was pregnant I would love to eat fresh fruit,yogurt, muesli and honey.

Understanding Food Cravings During Pregnancy


Getting food cravings during pregnancy are more than just urges, it's your body telling you that you need certain nutrients that are missing from your diet.

Let's use 3 examples:
1.  A craving for cheese - when you crave cheese or other dairy products, it is because your body needs calcium.  You can also add broccoli, spinach and almonds to your diet which will lower your fat intake and up your calcium intake.
2. A craving for raisins - raisins contain a lot of iron and perhaps this is why you would crave them.  For more iron in your diet, eat beans, peas, dried fruit, meat and breakfast cereals (those low in sugar - rather those that are organic and sweetened with natural fruit juice.)
3. A craving for olives and pickles - this means that your body needs salt/sodium, which can be a common deficiency during pregnancy. When you crave salty foods, watch your sugar intake as the salt is often craved to balance an excessive sugar intake.

Once you know how to interpret your body's communication, you will be able to feed yourself and your baby with all the right nutrients and you will avoid putting on extra unnecessary weight during and after pregnancy.

The Importance of Doing Kegel Exercises During Pregnancy


If you do kegel exercises while you are pregnant, you can prevent the tearing of your perineum during labor, having an episiotomy during delivery and suffering from urine leakage after you have given birth.
It doesn't matter what stage of pregnancy you are at, you can begin these exercises today.

Kegel exercises keep the pelvic floor muscles toned and tight.  If you keep them strong you are most likely to have an easier birth and prevent the problems mentioned above.  Learning to do them correctly is essential:
not only do you need to squeeze the inner muscles of your vagina, you also have to focus on tightening your anal muscle.
To learn how to do Kegels properly as well as other key pelvic floor exercises, get a copy of Pregnancy Without Pounds and CORE Strength Secrets for Pregnancy.

Losing Your Baby Belly Fat After Pregnancy


Michelle Moss, author of Mommy Without Pounds, wanted to know the following after she gave birth:

• How long will it take me to lose my baby weight?
• When is it safe to start working out again?
• When can I start training my abs?
• What do I need to do to get rid of my flabby belly?
• Will I ever have a flat stomach again?
• Will my rib cage and uterus ever go back to normal size, my waist is huge?
• How long will it take for me to fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans?
• Can I lose weight while breastfeeding?
• How many calories do I need to eat each day?
• and so many more…
Being as inquisitive and driven as she is, Michelle went searching for answers.  She found a lot of general information about weight loss, cardio and strength training, but nothing specific about exactly how to lose weight after pregnancy.
Michelle didn't want to settle for feeling fat and frumpy in her first year of motherhood - she wanted to enjoy every minute and have the energy to devote to her baby and hubby.
She simply refused to wait until her child was older before she concentrated on her own body.
Michelle was determined to get rid of the post pregnant weight, especially the baby belly, so she designed her own program specifically for losing weight after pregnancy in a safe, fun way.
Mommy Without Pounds will show you exactly how to shed your pregnancy pounds without spending hours in a gym or starving yourself.  You'll receive especially designed exercises which are actually necessary after pregnancy in order to help your body return to normal.

You will also learn what to eat, how many calories are necessary and what food combinations will optimize your health and weight lossClick Here!.

The Most Important Foods to Eat During Pregnancy


Michelle Moss, Author of Pregnancy Without Pounds and Mommy Without Pounds shares with us the essential nutrients we need during pregnancy.


During pregnancy, the body needs double the amount of Folic Acid, an essential vitamin that can prevent miscarriage, spina bifida and reduce the risk of Down Syndrome.
Oatmeal, figs, almonds, cottage cheese and bananas all have good amounts of folic acid.

To make sure your body is absorbing the correct amounts of Folic Acid, remember:
Don't cook your food at high temperatures - such as frying because it destroys the folic acid content
Don't freeze food and then thaw it again too often
Don't drink too much water or else you will dilute the amount of essential nutrients that your body needs.

Foods that are good sources of Folic Acid are:
organic cottage cheese
organic egg yolk
wild salmon
figs, ripe bananas, dates, ripe pineapple (including the stem), blackberries, loganberries, cantaloupe & watermelon
wheat germ, rye, oatmeal & barley
beef & beef liver, organic chicken & chicken liver
kidney beans, navy beans, lentils, lima beans, chickpeas, mung beans, split peas & soya beans
almonds, pecan, walnuts & coconut
avocado, cabbage, green beans, kale, broccoli, corn, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower,  mushrooms, watercress & leeks
