Hello AR,

I’ve been following you for a little over a year now. I also tried online coaching for a minute with Sean a few months ago. I’d like to ask you a question on fitness/calories/pregnancy. I’m 12 weeks pregnant and I have been working out putting in 75% effort, 6 days a week (because that’s what I like) and I have been told by my doctor to keep up an 1800 calorie intake. I’m wondering with all the working out do I need to up the calories or do I just continue to follow what my doctor suggested? I started my pregnancy a little overweight and so, I’m thinking the doctor knows what he’s doing? I’d like your opinion tho. Thanking you for your time in advance.

V/r,
kg

Amber,

Every time I see you post on Facebook or read you posts, I love them. They are gold. I have a blog for moms and a blog for my private training studio in Northern Minnesota. I would love to interview you for the sites if you have time.

Talk to you soon.

Hello Amber, I have been a runner for the past few years and I do not do any weight or resistence training. I purchased your ebook Taming The Weight Room through paypal becuase I need a book for beginning. My question is how do I download the book? Thank you.

Hi Amber,

Is there a way to contact you privately? I have a few questions and would really love to hear your input. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for your response – I know you’re busy I worked with with an endo years ago and she prescribed metformin which I had my gp recently prescribe for me again. So I did just start that back up – hopefully it will help. It’s nice to hear that maybe my carb tolerance will improve eventually. I already limit sugar and refined carbs so I’ll keep at it and hope for some change in the coming months. Thanks so much!

Are you working with an endocrinologist? That would probably be the most important thing. Rebound weight gain after restricting for so long is very normal, and a good chunk of that is water, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that yet.Once you improve your insulin sensitivity with exercise (and likely a little weight loss) your carb tolerance should improve, but being mindful of them now isn’t a terrible idea…once again I’d recommend working with an endocrinologist here, and perhaps a dietician with IR/PCOS experience.

I just want to add that I was already about 30 pounds overweight when I stopped dieting, so the extra 15 pounds isn’t weight that my body “needs.”

Hi Amber – I’m a huge fan. I recently read your book and have been following your blog. After literally 27 years of dieting (since the age of 10), I stopped five weeks ago. Since I was super low carb beforehand (I wasn’t restricting calories the last 2 years or so), I added those back in (mostly unrefined, but some ice cream and pancakes here and there). I’ve also started working out with kettlebells and walking. I’ve gained weight rapidly (15 pounds in 5 weeks!) and my acne has gotten terrible. I even have acne on my body now. I have PCOS and I’m starting to worry that your method may not apply to me. You do say in your book that if you have certain disorders you should talk to your doctor (and they tell me low carb). So what do you think? Thank you!
