Re: Weight Loss/gain For Ladies Trying To Conceive by Fvine: 11:49am On Mar 23, 2016 |
Idobitches:No idea. But I must let you know that there are dangers in using drugs/supplements to gain weight. You can also try to read up on the side effects too. Such drugs are better prescribed by a Dr in the right dosage because they can have adverse effects on the body and Fertility too. Here our approach and discussion is on weight gain and weight loss using food and natural methods. We don't advocate drugs and supplements for weight loss / Weight gain here. You can use Dates (Dabino) mixed with Cucumber to make a juice and drink. You'll add flesh and look refreshed. If you read backwards, some ladies here have tried it and confirmed that it works. Take care. |

BMI does not tell u everything u need 2 know about ur weight. For one, it doesn't take into consideration ur Lean muscle mass dat is why wrestlers, boxers n body builders may weigh tons yet u can't nessecarily say dey are fat. Infact dey are healthier weight wise dan we ordinary spectators. Lean Mass is everything else that makes up your weight. It includes muscle, bones, organs, water, and all non-fatty tissues. But there is a gender difference. Thanks to much higher levels of testosterone, men have a greater amount of muscle mass than women. One pound of muscle takes up much less space than one pound of fat. So, as you exercise consistently and build up strength, your total body weight may not change on scale, this can be confusing (and sometimes scary), but you are gaining muscle, while loosing fat. Gains in muscle mass will increase your metabolism, thus enabling you to burn more calories during every activity—even sitting! So, while you do want to lose fat, setting a goal of increasing your muscle mass will help you get there. This is based on new research because we Africans js know d old theories about weightloss n we remain there. Gaining muscle mass is synonymous wit loosing weight (fat), u rob Peter 2 pay Paul. Dts js d summary of all these english. It was js a suggestion 2 Favoredgal, I neva sed she must tke it. Bt I think her DH understnds d pacs thing which he is working on too doesn't mean it is nt part of weightloss. N dat really explains why he has lost more calories in 2days dan both of us put 2geda.

chom4shizzle: I do know this. If you've been following my posts on this thread you'd have read me mention it and even the fact that the scale is not a good way to measure but that doesn't mean that the scale is useless. I wasn't insinuating that you were pressuring her to take your advise. In fact I think am the one who could have accessed of pressurizing her to serve him all his eggs with yolk, but guess what she still took a decision she's most comfortable with which is perfect. Here is a free forum where anyone can share their opinion and that's what I was doing when I said that it's not wise for a man to weigh 100kg plus especially if he doesn't have a matching height to go with it. You'll also agree with me that a man weighing 100plus who is trying to lose weight and egg fasting to do this definitely has a high body fat percentage and should be encouraged to ditch the body fat in a healthy way like he's doing. And believe me, you'll need to burn off body fat in whatever way before you can get and see body muscle definition like the 6 packs. Don't be offended, all I share is just my opinion and I don't know it all. Am not trying to take away from your post or his achievement in 2 days, yes exercising may have helped him lose more (or not) but go to the Egg Fast page and you'll see men and women who lose as much as he did and even much more without exercising. That's the beauty of the Egg Fast. I actually lost 2.1kg in 4days of a very imperfect Egg Fast (lots of cheating) plus the fact that I lose weight slowly because of PCOS and I didn't exercise in any way, I was at home and slept through most of it. 1 Like |

henmaris:lol. am sure he'll thank you for the cheese. why not start in the morning of any day you choose to so that you can count your Egg Fast days properly? Just my thoughts. You're very strong though to want to do this over a holiday break, well that's except you're not celebrating Easter for any reason. Good luck. 1 Like |

Fvine please I've read back but I still need some clarification! I can eat as much eggs as I want right? Must i match the olive oil spoonfulls to the amount/quantity of eggs I'm eating per sitting? I can't do that bullet drink o! ![]() Any other option? Thanks sis. |

Chinwendym: Lol @ your Mbanu. I said so myslef until I tried it and it was yummy and had no eggy taste. It tastes like Coffee or Tea with Milk. The only draw back is that neither is good for ttc because of the Caffeine content especially if one is going above one cup per day. If you eat 1 Egg, then you must also take either 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil or Real Butter or Mayonnaise whichever one you choose but it must not be per sitting. The important thing is that at the end of each day if you ate 12 Eggs throughout the day, you must also make sure you took 12 Tablespoon of whichever Fat. Sometimes I eat my eggs Boiled and then just drink the oil straight from the spoon. Other Recipes you can try are: 1. Mix Mayonnaise into your eggs and then fry with Oil or butter. For instance if you want to fry 2 Eggs, you add one tablespoon of Mayonnaise to the Eggs and mix, then use one tablespoon of oil to fry. Some people say it's yummy, I didn't really like it though. 2. You can make Egg salad by cutting up Boiled Egg in pieces and mixing with appropriate quantity of Mayonnaise. Chill in the fridge and eat. Its more yummy if cold. 3. Egg Pancake : Break Eggs in a bowl, add a little artificial sweetener, add oil or butter (in appropriate quantity), add a dash of ground Cinnamon or Nutmeg. Beat together and Fry in appropriate measure of oil or butter. These are all that come to mind now. You can invent recipes, just make sure you use 1 Tablespoon of Fat for 1 Egg. 1 Like |

Hello sisters, I sure need to start working on myself. I'm 79.5kg now and still breastfeeding 14month old baby but will like to start trying for #2. My aim is my pre pregnancy weight which is 67. Do I have to stop breastfeeding first or can I start while breastfeeding. I would like to breastfeed her till she's 2. I don't mind breastfeeding while pregnant with #2. What do you all think? |

shat01:Ok. that's good to know. Please ditch the wheat it's not good for ttc. Rather grind Oats and make oat fufu or use Unripe Plantain Flour. As for Ovulation, why not see a Dr to help with Ovulation induction and timed intercourse? Just my thoughts. I do pray that you do ovulate and get preggy on your own though. |

henmaris:You just gotta love Fritata. But it can't be taken on the Egg Fast though. It has other ingredients, Potatoes, Fish etc but it's good and yummy outside the EF. Abeg enjoy your Easter. |

favoredgal:Wowza! Congrats to you and your hubby. Nice meal but hoping that the Vegetables is the bulk of it and not the potatoes. Please feed him Low Carb intact very low carb so that he continues losing in addition to what he has lost on the Egg Fast. You can even try out the sample Menus I posted in earlier pages. They contain 9ja meals with portion control and works well for weight loss. Abeg keep updating us & inspiring. |

Chyvia:Welcome. Details of the Egg Fast is on page 64. Am happy to clarify anything if need be. May you lose eggcellently. Am starting next week Tuesday, Easter Meats can't pass me by ![]() |
Re: Weight Loss/gain For Ladies Trying To Conceive by Fvine: 6:38am On Mar 25, 2016 |
ozycy:I'll suggest you leave the Egg Fast for now, you don't want to compromise on your baby and Milk Supply too. Just go to page 66 and adopt the Meal Plans I posted there, they're about 4. I've tried them and they work. They're varied with 9ja foods. Then when you're done nursing you can still do the Egg Fast if needed. 1 Like |
