An article on CBS News about a new study that suggests the demands of motherhood, rather than pregnancy itself, might be to blame for weight gain that lingers after women’s babies are born quotes Jennifer Temple, associate professor of exercise and nutrition sciences and community health and health behavior in the UB School of Public Health and Health Professions, who said the take-home message is that women should not expect to return to their pre-pregnancy weight. "They should plan to return to a weight that would be expected taking into account aging," she said. An article also appeared on UPI.
