A member asked:
Can you do the 16/8 hour fast while pregnant? trying to lose weight (i am heavily obese).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I would not recommend it. Do not diet unless under the supervision of a doctor while pregnant. You can, however, eat healthy and exercise (unless advised otherwise) at the level you were used to pre-pregnancy. If you didn’t exercise then, start with walking and go from there after discussing with your doc.
