Is it safe to take diet pills (hydroxycut) and exercise while breastfeeding?

Question

I'm fat, I need to loose weight FAST!! while excercising...

Answer 1

you should not take these pills while breast feeding as it will be passed on to your child through the milk....exercising is fine....
if you must take these pills stop breastfeeding....

Answer 2

You can exercise as much as you feel comfotable with. But you do need to eat a balanced diet and maintain the caloric intake that your doctor recommends. Hydroxycut is NOT ok while breastfeeding. That stuff has large amounts of caffeine, not to mention all the other chemicals, and your baby will be ingesting this too. Believe me if you did it even once you would never do it again, your baby won't sleep (besides the point that it is very dangerous.) The good news is that many studies have shown that women who breastfeed loose weight more quickly then women who don't because you are sharing the calories.

Answer 3

If you're breastfeeding, your child is basically ingesting everything you injest into your body.

I would probably think that hydroxcut + breastfeeding isn't a great idea. You should be able to find more info on thier [packaging or website (hydroxycut that is, not the baby)

EDIT: from the company website...

" If you are pregnant or breast feeding, you should not use HYDROXYCUT. Read the entire label before use and carefully follow the labeled directions for use.

Answer 4

I have heard it all..........OH MY GOD !

Please do not take that diet pill while breast feeding.

OK..........Your Fat ! But you did not get fat overnight nor will you lose the weight overnight. Take it slow, exercise is good and eating healthy is better. Here are some tips:

The holidays can be stressful... and unfortunately, many people reach for food as comfort. If you find yourself regularly eating in response to stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, loneliness, relationship problems, or poor self-esteem, try to break the habit with some of my strategies below.

Learn to recognize your hunger. Before you automatically pop something into your mouth, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5 -- 1 being ravenous and 5 being full. Make every effort to avoid eating when your hunger is a 4 or a 5.

Find alternatives to eating. Make a personal list of activities you can do instead of eating. Perhaps go for a walk, call a friend, listen to music, take a hot shower/bath, exercise, clean your house, polish your nails, surf the Internet, schedule outstanding appointments, watch television, look through a photo album,

Keep a food journal. Logging your food will help to identify your toughest timeframes. It also will make you accountable... so perhaps you'll be less apt to reach for unnecessary food.

Three-food interference. Make the commitment to first eat three specific healthy foods before starting on caloric comfort foods (i.e., an apple, handful of baby carrots and a yogurt). If after that, you still want to continue with your comfort foods, give yourself permission. However, most of the time, the three foods are enough to stop you from moving on.

Exercise regularly. Daily exercise relieves stress and puts you in a positive mindset, which provides greater strength to pass on the unhealthy fare.

Get enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation can increase hunger by decreasing Leptin levels, the appetite regulating hormone that signals fullness. With adequate sleep, you'll also be less tired and have more resolve to fight off the urge to grab foods for comfort.

Answer 5

It is fine to exercise at any time, pregnant and non-pregnant, breastfeeding or not but please know that what you ingest can be passed on to your baby through breastmilk. Most medications, both prescription and non-prescription, carry a warning about pregnancy and breastfeeding. Read the label on a bottle of Hydroxycut. If losing weight is so important that you must do it now, switch to bottle feeds with formula for your child's sake.

Answer 6

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.

1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.

2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.

3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.

These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

Answer 7

You sound selfiish to me. Take the time to give your baby a good start in life, and stop saying your fat, and need to lose weight fast.Can't you for as many months as possiable put this child ahead of instant thin for you. Why do people keep having children when they don't want to do the work required. It takes time and patience to get back to your pre-baby shape. Not pills!!

Answer 8

Breastfeeding does make you loose weight! Try it the natural way! Long walks, exercise, and eating in a more controlled and conscious way.

Answer 9

You need to exercise.. if your not overweight.. if your underweight as you say.. then your muscle need to be toned. and the only way to tone your muscles is exercise. try something like yoga or pilates, or speed walking.
As for eating. I dont' know what you are eating now. but stick to healthy things and avoid foods that will just add fat to your body..

Answer 10

Walk between stores that have been in close proximity (don't drive).
