A member asked:
My baby is 11 months old and ive been slowly weening, she feeds in thr morning and night.. im not losing weight. can i start taking diet or water pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start taking fewer..: If in general good health, a woman can just start taking fewer calories. Losing weight is about math. Calories IN must be fewer than calories USED, in order to lose weight. If calories IN are even 100 more than calories used each day, a woman will notice her weight increasing. First, avoid sugars and simple (white, plain) starches. Also avoid drinks with sugar or cream. Good luck! No pills needed.
