“I'm very concerned about public awareness of obesity, especially when pregnant women are told they're gaining too much weight by a doctor. Given that scare tactic combined with the wrong information, a pregnant woman might think she needs to start dieting.”
“I tell women they should concentrate on what they're eating on a day-to-day, meal-to-meal basis. They should have regular meals and snacks and a variety of nutrient-rich foods. That tends to work for women at risk of gaining too much and women who need to gain more.”
“In some things, the body really does have a mind of its own, and weight is one of those things. Some women gain more than recommended despite their best efforts. It may be what she's genetically made to do.”
“We've signed agreements with all of them. I think they're all pretty much happy campers at this point. When we couldn't give them an answer, it was frustrating for them.”
