Anyone else going healthy for your baby?

Question

And I don't mean kind of healthy where you eat a couple more vegetables and fruits here and there and still eat whatever you want but I mean full on, lifestyle change with your food. 
If you are someone that doesn't eat healthy I totally get it. I treat my body pretty much like garbage, never cared to much what I ate but now that I'm housing for a baby I feel a lot more inclined to totally change my diet and give my unborn child the best home for the next 9 months. If you are also doing this, healthy eating lifestyle change,  what have you changed? I'm trying to cut out red meats for lean meats, heavy potatos and replace it with califlower , try almond milk or cashew milk, soy. Pretty much organic as possible.

Answer

I wish I could go all out but sadly the healthier the more expensive and I don't know about anyone else but I can't afford it 😒

Answer

We don't always eat "healthier" foods, but we do eat exclusively organic and no processed foods. So if I'm craving pizza I make it from scratch. I do buy pre-canned organics like tomatoes, etc but check brands for added extras/sugars.

It was a huge change for me. I had to change how I looked at cooking. I allow myself 1-1.5 hours for dinner now instead of like 20 min. I feel like it's worth if though, I don't feel as sluggish or yucky after eating... Even if it was pizza, pasta, some other high calorie food.

We also started making green smoothies daily. Neither hubs or I were/are big veggie likers so that's how we still get our nutrients.

It's been an adjustment, but we're about 4 years in and I love it now.

Answer

Oh, the other thing I'm doing differently is using deodorant instead of antiperspirant. No aluminum....

Answer

I generally have a healthy lifestyle, but the constant nausea makes it hard. I'll be happy when I can eat healthy again because I feel so much more sluggish when I'm not eating right and exercising.... but for now my doctor just said to eat what I can keep down and to not stress myself out over it.😬

Answer

I've just added more nutrient rich foods; lentils, yams, kale, avocado, salmon, yoghurt etc.

Read up on soy, it's a bit controversial and watch for extra added sugars in almond or coconut milk.

Answer

I have been trying to be pretty healthy too. I include not taking any meds with that, thankfully I've been able to do it. I eat red meat because I don't think it's unhealthy 🙂 and my iron is low. But rarely eat processed food, junk...etc.

Answer

I'm doing the Whole30 right now and eat about 80% paleo the rest of the time. It's awesome.
