The 90-Day Bodyweight Challenge for Women proposes a program of diet and exercise recommendations for the reader to follow. However, you should consult a qualified medical professional (and, if you're pregnant, your ob-gyn) before starting this or any other fitness program. As with any diet or exercise program, if at any time you experience discomfort, stop immediately and consult your physician.
