I’m writting from Argentina, and I don’t know exactly who is Carnie Wilson, I just know she was on E! in 100 most….and she was trying to loose weight.
I can see she can’t.
In my opinion she looks very fat, she doesn’t looks healthy to get pregnant again!
I can’t belive she has a gastric bypass!!
I’m sure she eats a lot, and her daughter too. obesity is a huge problem, this illness is killing a lot of people.

Remember too that she’s 40. No matter how healthy or lucky she is, more than likely, she’s going the route of doctor intervention in her desire to be pregnant again. With her weight issues and extreme diet, I’d be surprised if she had regular cycles. If I were her, I’d be going directly to a Reproductive Endocrinologist. The poster above me was right, she’s planning on IVF and know the significant incidence of twins already. I’d be willing to bet we hear the announcement before the end of the year and that’s WITH the few months she’s taking to lose the weight before she starts ‘trying’.

dsmom, no offense taken whatsoever on my part at all – just saying that while i agree with you saying that it’s important for one to eat healthy while pregnant, there are those out there who just gain a certain amount of weight while pregnant no matter what or how much they eat, myself included.

SH, I am sorry if I offended you, That was absolutely not my intention.

I hope she can find her way off this weight see-saw. Personally I live by the ‘everything in moderation’ mantra – which I know is not for everyone. But Carnie seems to have such highs and such lows….case in point, her current eating habits: no sugar, no carbs, no dairy, no red meat, no flour. YIKES. How is that sustainable for the long haul? Personally, I don’t think it is, such a restrictive diet usually backfires later. Now I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist (or a therapist for that matter), its just my personal take from watching Carnie’s weight battle over the years. I wish her well, it must be really hard to be on such a roller coaster all the time.

I have 4 kids and I’ve been at the exact same prepregnancy weight (140lbs) with every pregnancy, and weighed exactly same at the time of delivery with all of them (190lbs)….a weight gain of 50 lbs with all of them. It wasn’t my diet. I didn’t eat anything I wanted and let myself go. I ate the normal amount that I always have eaten. My OB/GYN said that every woman is different when they’re pregnant and told me that my body obviously had to gain 50 lbs for my pregnancies and that was ok. Bottom line – not everyone gains the textbook 25-35lbs and that’s ok as long as you’re eating healthy.

I will say good luck to her but may I also add without offending anyone that I think that it is ridiculous when women gain this much weight while pregnant. She is not the only one either. One of my girlfriends just gained 70 pounds and she was thin to begin with! I think that some women use pregnancy to just let themselves go and it should be the opposite! You need to take care of yourself while pregnant as your baby is getting everything that you put into your mouth. Not that you cant splurge from time to time. I was 5’8, 120 pounds before I got pregnant with my son I gained 28 pounds during my pregnancy and had a 9 pound baby! I also lost my baby weight in no time. I just think that women need to stay fit and healthy even during their pregnancies.

robin m, eventually it is possible to stretch your stomach back to normal size. you have to continue to eat the small and healhy portions! i thought she was pregnant too! anyways, good luck to her

robin m. i know from friend that had the gastric bypass that you can strech your stomach back out over time by overeating and if you don’t watch it, your in the same mess again as before,though i’m not sure you can have the surgery done again?

Carnie’s having premonitions about having twins aka she’s looking into having some IVF in the near future…see, it’s not that hard to understand celeb-speak. On a more serious note, I am genuinely worried about Carnie’s diet. Cutting out all those things may indeed spur short term weight loss, but eventually one can assume that she will go back to including those in her diet–which will only lead to the weight coming back on plus. Of course, I am not a doctor nor a dietician, but I am an infamous yo-yo- dieter, and the one thing that has helped me get rid of weight is not restricting whole food groups ie red meat and flour, but implementing consistent portion control and making sure that my caloric intake is in the right proportion to calories burned per day. I feel that depriving yourself completely of certain food usually just makes you crave them all the more and then you end up overeating.
