Gain extreme amounts of weight


Question
I do not understand what is going on. I eat fairly healthy, I cheat every so often, but overall I eat healthy, I walk for an hour each night with the dog, and in the past 2 months i gained 25 lbs! I havent changed my lifestyle and I dont understand whats going on. To make things more difficult i just found out i am pregnant(only about 5 weeks). I'm scared to death i'm going to gain so much weight. What would you suggest?

Answer
Hello Mag!

   Thank you for your nutrition question. Many pregnant women have one or two "growth spurts" during which they gain several pounds in a short time period, then level off.  This is not worrisome unless it becomes a pattern. The important thing is to keep an eye on your overall gain. If you see that you continue to gain excess weight have your doctor refer you to a registered dietitian who can create a meal plan that will keep off excess pounds.

  You should put only be putting on one pound every two weeks in the second and third trimesters. While you don't want to gain too much weight, you should never try to lose weight during pregnancy because that could harm your baby.    I would also suggest my cookbook "The Healthy Pregancy Cookbook" by George Rapitis which is available at your local bookstore.
