A. Here is an exercise plan as well as some info about how to eat correctly. There are also side links to sample meal plans and other good information. I have used a very similar system to maintain less than 5% body fat for the past 23 years. It is not because of my genetics because obesity runs in my family.

What is a healthy diet while pregnant?
Q. Can anyone enlighten me on what a healthy pregnancy diet consists of? What is a safe calorie count? I don't want to over eat, but I also don't want to deny my baby any nutrients by not eating enough. Thanks!

A. It's best to talk to your doctor, but for the most part they prefer you err on the side of caution and make sure you get all the nutrients you need. I had a dietitian tell me (and I was already overweight) that if ice cream was the only way I could get calcium in my diet then by golly, ice cream it is. (I managed to find some yogurt that I liked). If you are of a normal healthy weight, you only need to add about 300 additional calories to your day. If you are underweight or low on the healthy scale they'll want you to add more, and if you're overweight they'll encourage you to make sure not to add any more than 300.

What is the definition of a healthy diet?
Q. I have no clue what can be considered as a healthy diet.
Asked by Katherine S - Wed May 2 10:58:23 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A healthy diet consists of a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, low and non-fat dairy products. Saturated fats, trans fats, sugar, and alcohol are limited, and you can use spices as well. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water is also recommended. With the variety you get the most nutrients, and you can avoid boredom. The Mayo Clinic has an excellent website detailing different healthy diets that work with these principles. They also use the food pyramid developed by the US government... maybe it's the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
