Disappointed in Sonam's look this year, last year she stunned everyone but this year her look is a flop

Yes, well..post-pregnancy obesity is higher amongst the desis so ill end it at that because THAT was my point. And it is that way because of the inactive lifestyle. I know its easy to be lazy, and shes more or less admitted that in her previous interviews when she said shes not one to care for her body weight. I dont mean to question her sincereity to her child, but she should have a more positive attitude towards her body since shes now responsible for another humans life. It would be very sad if that child has to grow up watching the mother struggle with a disease that couldve been preventable. Im not saying she will be in that situation, just hypothetical.

And beause so many people (clearly) look up to her she could be helping out alot of women by being a role model and motivating them. But she wont do that because she doesnt care. So there goes the whole role model crap her fans like to roar about. And shes not a representative for indian women either. And shes far from ordinary. Shes a regular celebrity out there to make money and people need to stop putting her on a pedestal.

Nuktacheen, i really have no desire to prolong this discussion because clearly u r entitled to ur opinion and view as i am to mine. And plus shes not my relative that i have to defend her or criticize her so vehemently, she can turn into a baluga for all i care :) and i can also provide u with MORE RECENT research, if u want.

Heres one that clearly states asains (not chinese, korean, or japanese which is what most studies classify asians as) pakistani, bangalis, Indians, sri lankans etc...are at higher risks for gestational diabetes (google causes, im not going to do that as well-its a very in-depth sort of topic) http://www.jogc.com/abstracts/full/201009_Obstetrics_1.pdf

Herres one study of IMMIGRANT WOMEN of SOUTH ASIAN ethinicity that states that the SOUTH ASIAN women DID retain their weight

Ive a few more im not really interest in listing and explaining. I tried to be specific because im not talkimg about ALL asian women, just south asian women, which is what we are. There are studies online that say asian women DONT gain much weight, but thats not us, theyre lumping the whole of asia.

Although i did find out that the longerr one breast-feeds the more weight ur body will retain. After the 6 month or so period, your body will stop losing weight and will start retaining and gaining. And top that off with the inactivity of desi's and youve got a baluga on hand 😆

Ok anyway, this will be my last post here, i dont have time to do research and satisfy the whims of others. Ive summer school to start and i think ill expend my energies there.

So happy gossiping to u too!

I dont know why that link isnt working and its taking me to a completely different article as well. So heres the intro from the article and ill give u the name of the article for u to search.

And googling does not mean having search results of blogs, it also gives u results for journals and articles. Theres a button called advance search to narrow ur results in case u didnt know.

"South asian women at risk for gestational diabetes"

Gestational Diabetes is a growing problem for all populations, but for South-Asian women, the risk of Gestational Diabetes is even higher. According to the National Institutes of Health, rates of diabetes range from 2-10% of all pregnancies, though the average is usually reported at 7%. However, for South-Asian women (women from Indian, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Bangledesh) get gestational diabetes at a rate of 14% of all pregnancies.

And these r proper studies with links to their sources.

And clearly u DID NOT read the second study if thats ur conclusion. 🤔Theres more to a study than its title.

And i think people r aware pizzas and burgers do make u gain weight, so i dont know why mention that...i havent seen anyone say its healthy.

whoever said tthyroid malfunction causes body weight rise - NOT true

ur thyroid goes haywire when u dont exercise or eat well or lots of stress. thyroid actually shields one n her baby.

Pregnancy - in rural india, women work double triple th amount of any woman in urban area. even after their pregnancies. if ashwarya is taking care of her baby ALONE, even that wud show a difference in her but alas, excuses excuses.

Not sure why people think taking care of your baby will make you lose weight. It doesn't. Babies don't run around that you need to be running after them doing exercise. In fact for the first few months they barely move - you have to feed them and put them to sleep. That's about all they do then. It's only after they start crawling (usually after 6 months) and then walking at 1+ that you are being more physically active. What babies are great at is causing sleep deprivation. They are not great exercise machines.

I'm finding all this speculation about why Aishwariya hasn't lost weight from possible thyroid issues to simply being lazy and not looking after her baby highly amusing. Not sure why she even needs a medical reason to not have lost weight. She could simply just not be obsessed with losing weight at the moment. Or that she isn't an 'average' woman so she doesn't have the right to not lose weight straight away. Or that she is setting an example of obesity or weight issues for her 6 month old baby. Are people actually serious when they write all this? So if a woman doesn't lose weight in the first year of having a baby at nearly 40 she must be resigned to being fat for the rest of her life? What an absolute joke if people actually are seriously this obsessed with her private life so much that they want to set a schedule for her to lose weight on. If you find it offensive that she has promoted beauty products in the past and is now overweight, don't buy them. Write a letter of complaint to the people who use her as an endorsement and tell them you are totally offended she hasn't lost weight after giving birth and hence you won't buy their products any more. Make your voice heard. Then possibly see a psychologist to discuss why a woman's weight is such a big deal to you ;)
