Open Question: Question about birth control, which do you recommend?
I just had my baby a month ago and I am not trying to have another baby any time soon. So I have to call my Dr. Monday to make an appointment for birth control and I have never been on birth control and do not know what to get.
So Ive been thinking about Mirena but my OB was totally against it because he said some women have had complications with it. His nurse practitioner said Mirena is fine and only women who have had problems with their periods or uterus tend to have a hard time with it. So far Ive never had a problem so I will be considering it.
If any of you are on Mirena how is having this as your birth control going for you?
Now I have a heart murmur and according to my OB who is a perinatologist says I can safely take birth control because my heart murmur will not be affected. He has seen my history with my heart murmur so he gave me the ok.
Also any other suggestions for birth control are good, please inform me ladies

Open Question: You are fat because you eat too many carbohydrates?
I’m just reading too many posts asking the same thing, and I can’t keep typing the same stuff over and over. It’s all from people asking “how can I get a six pack” and “Why do I have love handles” or “How come I’m overweight.” The answer to losing weight is NOT 1) exercise more 2) simply eat fewer calories or 3) cut back on the fat.
1) Commonly known, if you can cut about 500 calories a day, you’ll drop about one pound a week. In order to “burn” 500 calories a day with exercise, a 200 Lbs man would have to run for 45 mins every single day, 7 days a week. That’s just not sustainable for most people. This of course only works if you’re not overeating by 600 calories a day - in which case you’d still be eating 100 calories too much (meaning you’d gain 1 Lbs every 5 weeks). You must change your diet, but not just by cutting calories…
2) Eating fewer calories almost never works, because people tend to eat fewer BAD calories, rather than swapping their crappy food for good food. Eating sugar and carbohydrates (yes, even those “healthy” whole grains) causes your body to produce more insulin to break down the sugar. To much sugar in the blood is toxic. So insulin will either pass the carbs as energy to your cells that need it, or it will store it as fat. Over time your body becomes accustomed to getting it’s energy from carbs, and will have a hard time getting it from stored fat because of the higher levels of insulin in your body (aka, your body doesn’t use any fat, it only stores it). This is what causes cravings. Your body needs to do something with that insulin, and one of insulin’s jobs is to manage sugar so it signals your body for MORE sugar! Also, you can eat a 1,200 calorie dessert because carbohydrates don’t stimulate the release of certain hormones that alert your brain that you’re full (Leptin is one). Only Fat and protein will. That’s why there’s always room for dessert.
3) Fat is absolutely necessary to good health. And I mean saturated fat. It DOES NOT cause problems with cholesterol unless you’re eating high carbohydrates. Your LDL will probably go up, but it will only be the “pattern A” LDL, which is the “good” stuff (light buoyant) as opposed to the “small dense” particles which cause inflammation, plaque buildup, heart disease. Check the Amer Heart Assoc website, they even agree that a diet greater than 60% carbs will lead to high Triglycerides (fat in your blood) which is a sign of future heart disease. It’s polyunsaturated vegetable fats that cause problems due to their uneven Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio. Amer diet foods have way to high an amount of O6 (that’s why some people take Omega 3 supplements daily). This causes all kinds of problems for your heart. It’s also why cultures that eat a lot of fish have relatively low instances of heart disease.
In short, cut your carbohydrates if you want to lose fat, and eat more fat and protein from clean animal sources (grass fed beef, game animals, fish, coconut) and only get them from vegetables and some fruit. Feel free to comment.
