"A new clinical trial at Kaiser Permanente will consider whether obese pregnant women need to gain a minimum amount of weight during their pregnancies, as the Institute of Medicine currently advises, USA Today reports. IOM guidelines released in May state that pregnant women who are obese should gain 11 to 20 pounds while pregnant. However, Kim Vesco of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, who will direct the new 'Healthy Moms' trial, suggested that amount may be unhealthy for obese women."There is no limit to how much weight these fat women can gain.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
