What are you guys planning to do for meals after you give birth?

Question

I'm going on a diet after I give birth since I've gained around 60 lbs. My husband has no plans to eat the foods I'll be eating so I'm just going to make him giant pots of spaghetti, chili, and different types of pastas to hold him over since I won't be cooking daily and we want to save money.

Answer

Lady why are you planning on cooking for your husband? He's got a brain and arms I am assuming, so let him handle his own damn food (and for that matter, if anyone should be cooking for anyone it's him cooking for you)!

Answer

My mom will be staying with us the first month, so she'll be helping a lot when it comes to the cooking. After that, I'll make lots of crock pot meals or simple dishes like chicken and fish with some easy sides, lasagna, Shepard's pie, tacos, etc. When my son was born last year, I thought I would never be able to cook anything, but you really do end up finding the time. Also, I think it's awesome you're still thinking of your husband's needs and wanting to make sure he's fed as well.

Answer

For breakfast before I got pregnant I would eat one caramel popcorn rice cake with pb spread ontop with a banana on the side, or an egg with fruit or Id do a greek yogurt bowl with fruit and granola. For lunch, Id eat light two lettuce wraps with deli meat, cheese, spicy mustard or apples with peanut butter or peanut butter toast with slice banana and honey, in between lunch and dinner Id eat a snack like string cheese, or nuts, or crackers something like tht and for dinner I just ate whatever I cooked normal stuff, spaghetti or whatever I would just not overfill my plate [portion sizing is important] so Id eat my food on one of my smaller plates tht way I wasnt temted! Also throughout the day drink PLENTY of water .. [I dnt like water much so what motivates me to drink it is adding lots of ice and lemon wedges!] 😉😊

Answer

Going back to the 21 day fix meal plan. I won't be able to do the workouts just yet but I know that the program works. My little sis is getting married June 29, 2018 and I'm her maid of honor. Going to have to haul ass for 9 months to get in shape. I packed on way more weight than I wanted. I'll probably be around 60 lbs up when the baby comes.

Answer

Meal prep! When I have done it in the past I just made a bunch of stuff on Saturday or Sunday to last me the week (like fish or chicken and vegetables and brown rice - switch it up so you don't get bored), along with snacks and breakfast. I find if I just plan my meals I am less likely to go buy something unhealthy, then I treat myself occasionally. 😊

Answer

I'm going back to paleo. Fruits, veggies and meats. Water. 
It's not as hard as one thinks.

Answer

I'm just gonna scrounge around in the freezer and see if I can find shit to heat up in the microwave probably. 😃 You know.. Little pizzas and stuff. 😂 at least until I'm all healed up and breast or bottle feeding established. So at least a month. Of just scrounging or eating whatever the husband makes or goes out to get us. Then I'll start a diet cuz.. I'm fat af. The end. ❤️

Answer

21 Day Fix!  It's a diet program with an exercise program, trainer is named Autumn Calabrese.  Eating healthier meals using crock pot skinny recipes and following the beachbody workout schedules.  I have a lot of different work out programs from that company and I can't recommend them enough!  My favorite is turbo fire and it has always worked for me.  It's really fun too!

Answer

Since I'm very picky I'll probably be cooking for myself. We have extra hands so I'm sure I'll have time to do myself chicken breast and veggies or something. 
My mum lives nearby and knows how picky I am so she'll probably cook up large meals for me as well
