Well, I ate fast food all through my pregnancy and my baby is not fat at all. Plus she's really healthy, but that doesn't mean that it's okay to eat fast food all of the time. Moderation is the key.

You cannot lose belly fat alone. You lose fat on your whole body at once by doing cardio That means elevating your heart rate. Get a heart monitor, get your heart rate to: (220-your age)x .60 at least. Then keep it there for at least 30 mins per day, at least 3 times per week. Secondly you can stop your body from making fat by cutting out sugar, alcohol, white bread, white potatoes, and anything with a glycemic index above 55. Lastly try never to eat a meal over 400 calories That means eating smaller meals. 4 meals at 400 calories each And a few 100 calorie snacks-that works for me. The whole idea is not to spike your blood sugar. Overeating with big meals, eating sugar, or high fat foods, or drinking alcohol spikes your blood sugar. That makes your body produce insulin. Insulin’s big job is “TURN THAT EXTRA SUGAR INTO FAT” Ergo: no sugar spike, no insulin, no insulin, no fat production. PS, that’s why we have an obesity problem in this country and a diabetes problem in this country, everyone is tapped out of insulin. Hope this helps.

First, I don't think it would actually make your baby fat. I don't think fast food, per se, will be harmful to your baby. However, what may be harmful is that, by eating fast food so much, you *aren't* eating other foods which contain nutrients that the baby needs to develop properly. However, fast food in and of itself probably won't be a health issue as long as you make sure you are getting the proper nutrients.

It's not that fast food will make your baby fat. It will make you gain unhealthy weight very quickly. An occasional treat from fast food is okay to satisfy those cravings, but much of this is metabolized very quickly in your body to sugar. This causes undesirable weight gain during pregnancy. The excess weight you gain can put you at risk for gestational diabetes, and other problems as your pregnancy progresses.

That does not determine your baby being fat... It will determine how much weight you gain. I ate lots of fast food and what ever I felt like eating and I put on plenty of wieght but neither of my girls were that big. And both were healthy... Enjoy!

Your baby will truly be what you eat during the first months. You're not making him fat, you're building brain cells, muscles, bones, and vital organs. Babies that are born to moms with poor nutrition or who are starving, generally have developmental learning problems later in life. Eat healthy for the baby. Plus it will be easier for you to loose the baby fat after your child is born.

It certainly is not healthy for either of you. As far as anyone becoming fat.....you are what you eat. Try to stay away from fast food and eat healthy food.

well, It is not healthy, because all that goes to the baby, and surrounds the baby. It won't be good for you or the baby. You need to eat a lot of fruits and veggies. drink lots of water too. take care , and congrats.

I don't believe it will be bad for the baby, it will be bad for you because you will get fat and then it will be difficult to lose that weight.
