Blah Blah Blah

I am trying this diet kick start plan my mom gave me. It's for heart patients who need surgery but are too overweight to undergo the procedure. It's based on chemical breakdown and you're only on it 3 days out of 7. This is not permanent, and as we're currently trying to have a baby I can't eat the tuna as ordered because as a pregnant person (which I may or may not be) I can only eat 6 oz. of tuna a week. A cup and a half is much more that 6 oz. and that is what you're supposed to eat. So, who knows if this will even work. Maybe I'll just adapt it to what I need. In the What to Expect When You're Expecting book it says you should NEVER try to lose weight while you're pregnant. But I'm pretty sure Ali's doctor told her to lose weight while she was pregnant with Adison. Maybe they say that so people who are only carrying an extra 15-50 pounds won't go diet crazy while they're pregnant. My point is, you're supposed to get 1800 nutrient rich calories everyday while you're pregnant. If I eat that I'll have to lose weight because my current daily calorie intake is probably at least 2 or 3 times that. They don't encourage you to diet because babies can't live off your fat store. All that offers is calories and babies need nutrients. I'm rambling now. Please advise. I don't want to gain another 50 pounds for this pregnancy, but the least amount they tell you to gain is 15 pounds. I hope somehow I will be able to be healthy through this pregnancy.
