lunch bags for infants image

I was thinking about eating nothing but fruit for breakfest and lunch; then having a regular supper as usual. I also am exercising would this be a decent way to shed pounds? Also for a snack i will most likely eat a small bowl of cereal or a bag of popcorn
Answer
NO. Balance and moderation are the keys to health. Too much fruit is not balanced.
A lot of the answers you will see here will tell you to buy some sort of supplement. Don't take diet pills. They are unnatural and dangerous. It is not the lack of pills that got you heavy; that is not the fix you need. It was (most likely) improper diet and lifestyle that got you the extra weight. That is the fix you need.
The best way to lose weight is through the principles of balance and moderation. You need to eat good food and eat enough of it.
Shoot to lose 1-3 pounds per week. No more. Don't go hungry, just keep yourself filled with good, natural foods.
Don't worry about calories. Caloric science is flawed for several reasons. 1) it assumes 100% absorption, but we all absorb and excrete different amounts; 2) It assumes all calories are processed the same, but calories from natural sources are burned more slowly and evenly than from refined sources; 3) It assumes that the amount of energy released by combustion (burning) in a lab is the same amount of energy released when the food is broken down enzymatically in the gut; 4) It assumes that the same exercise done by different people will burn the same amount of exercise, but different exercises will be harder or easier for different people; 5) Correlation does not prove causation. People who are heavier eat more calories: did the calories make them heavy, or did being heavy make them need more calories? Maybe they are both symptoms of a deeper problem. 6) people in China consume 25-40% more calories; even the sedentary office workers have more calories and less obesity than we.
Asian cultures have long ago figured out how we should be eating, Ever since we have looked to science to tell us how to eat we have seen more obesity and diet-related disease. If we eat like the Asians, we will look like the Asians. This doesn't mean you have to eat Asian food, just adhere to the principles that are common to the different cultures and cuisines.
You should eat mostly vegetables, mostly cooked (cold and raw foods slow your metabolism because they need to be cooked in your stomach) and a wide variety, mostly fresh and in-season and local, simple grains (more rice, less bread), some fruit, a little meat, no dairy (it's for infants and grows tissue), and no artificial foods.
Avoid artificial foods, including sugar substitutes. Don't worry about calories, fat, protein, carbs, nor any one component of food.
There are several books that explain this strategy of eating. "The Asian Diet: simple secrets for eating right, losing weight, and being well" by Bussell explains the diet and its rationale. "The Asian Diet: get slim and stay slim the Asian way" by Tran has recipes that adhere to the principles. "The China Study" by Campbell has the science behind the recommendation.
Get some exercise every day, but not too much and not always the same exercise. Start slow and work your way up. Calisthenics are great, as is Tai Chi. Walking and swimming are also great. All other exercises should be in a wide rotation.
Follow the principles of balance and moderation and you'll be fine. Most diets in America are not balanced nor moderate.

How could I go about going to school and breast feeding? (senior in high school)?
:)
I want to breastfeed and I know it is too early to worry about it (considering I am only 10 weeks) but how could it be done at school? Could I buy an electric pump and leave? (would they allow it) or could I go to the bathroom and pump there? If I did do it in the bathroom though where would I store the bottles?
One more question: How often do you have to pump your breast?
Answer
First of all, I think you are incredible for staying in school after having your baby! Secondly, I think you are even more incredible for wanting to breastfeed AND go to school!
To start, I would contact a guidance counselor at your school and ask what kind of guidelines they have for teen moms who are attending. While your baby is an infant, you may be allowed to bring him/her to school with you if you are unable to find suitable child care. The high school I attended allowed mothers to do this.
If you do have child care arranged and would like to pump while at school, you can also discuss this with your counselor. By setting up a schedule for you to pump, it can possibly be arranged that you are able to leave during one class to pump, have a study hall or lunch period during the time you would need to pump, etc. You can pump in the restroom with a battery operated pump, but make sure it is of good quality. A hospital grade pump will be the most efficient. You might also be able to arrange the use of an empty classroom or teacher's lounge for this purpose as well as a refrigerator for storing your milk. If you don't have access to a refrigerator, that is okay too. You could pack a storage bag with ice packs. Breast milk will keep on ice for 24 hours and unrefrigerated for up to 10 hours. It doesn't spoil as quickly as cow's milk, thankfully.
Ideally, you will want to pump every 3 hours (or more depending on your supply and your babies needs) for 15-20 minutes. You should understand that pumping is not the same as a babies suck and you may not pump as much as your baby will drink. As soon as your baby is born, I would recommend pumping after each feed to increase your supply. The milk you pump can then be frozen and used later (in the event you don't pump as much as you need).
