Why Glow?

Question

Why does Glow perpetuate the myth that we are “eating for two”?  They know better. Don’t encourage women to become unhealthy eaters. We need a minor boost in (healthy nutritious) calories ... not double everything. This annoys me. Women’s bodies change enough without them being encouraged to pack it in.

Answer

It's just a joke

Answer

We’re literally eating for 2. I use it as a conscious reminder to provide my baby with proper nutrients for the days i just want to pig out on buffalo wings or burgers. You’re being unnecessarily sensitive 😒

Answer

Ive known many women who ate like mad when they’re pregnant and other women who encourage them “eat what you want girl”. They make unhealthy choices, then agonize over their excessive weight gain. During pregnancy it’s ideal to take care of yourself too. The eating for two myth irks me. It’s my belief the app should encourage healthy habits. I’m surprised in the heath forum I’m being berated for taking a rational approach to diet during pregnancy.  As a dance/fitness instructor and physical therapist assistant I work with clients who struggle with the after effects of “eating for two”. I stand by my opinion that it’s harmful to perpetuate it.
