High gestational weight gain does not improve birth weight in a cohort of African American adolescents 1,2

Background: Because pregnant African American women and teens are at risk of low birth weight, they are frequently counseled to strive for gestational weight gains at the upper limits of the Institute of Medicine's recommended ranges.
Objective: The objective was to examine whether such weight gains improve birth outcomes in a cohort of disadvantaged African American adolescents of low (<19.8), average (19.8 to 26.0), or high (>26) prepregnancy body mass index (BMI; in kg/m 2).
Design: Data were extracted from the medical charts of 1120 African American adolescents who received prenatal care at an inner-city maternity clinic between 1990 and 2000 and analyzed by using analysis of covariance and multivariate regression methods.
Results: Data were available for 815 adolescents, 711 of whom delivered at term (37 wk). Fifty-eight percent (n = 409) of all term deliveries and 74% of the high-BMI adolescents (n = 126) had gains in the upper half of or above the recommended ranges. For all BMI groups, the most significant differences in birth outcomes were found in comparisons of teens who gained below the recommended ranges with those who gained in the lower half of the recommendation range. Further gains were not clearly beneficial, particularly for infants of high-BMI mothers.
Beverages may add to weight gain
ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 5 (UPI) -- For millions of U.S. adults who are trying to lose that extra weight, the solution may not be in what they eat, but what they drink.
Susan Aaronson, wellness coordinator for the M-Fit Health Promotion Division at the University of Michigan Health System, says more than 20 percent of our daily calories come from the things that we drink but the World Health Organization recommends that people consume only about 10 percent of their calories from liquids.
Since it has no nutritional value, filling up on soda also prevents you from getting calories from sources that do contain essential vitamin and minerals, according to Aaronson.
"Soda is full of sugar and empty calories, making it a major contributor to the obesity problem in the United States," says Aaronson. "If you chose to eliminate one can of soda each day, which contains about nine teaspoons of sugar, you can lose about a pound in one month; and over the course of a year, you can lose up to 15 lbs."
If a juice label says that it's "made with real fruit juice," it may actually contain less than 10 percent of "real" juice and about seven teaspoons of sugar -- the best juice drinks to pick are those that say they contain "100 percent juice," according to Aaronson.
