Can i start this ?

Question

So I’m 6 weeks pregnant I’m starting to feel fat 
My last pregnancy i got super fat and i started struggling to loose weight till this day I’ve been struggling so my goal for this pregnancy is not to gain so much weight i’ve decided that at night i am going to quite eating food I’ll replace the food with a fruit or a smoothie i was also thinking i want to start Lemon Water detox in the morning before eating anything I have watch YouTube videos where people have lost weight with this detox, yes i am still going to continue taking my vitamins 
But do you guys think this decision can affect the baby or no ?

Answer

You shouldn’t be trying to intentionally lose weight when pregnant unless your doctor specifies otherwise.

Answer

Yes everything you do and eat affects the baby. Detoxing and not eating foods, and smoothies or fruit only, is not healthy. Especially when pregnant. Consult your doctor, and just eat healthy and in good proportions.

Answer

Don’t detox!!! Anything that promotes detoxing while pregnant does in fact negatively affect the baby. Focus instead on whole foods , walking, and cut out white everything (sugar, flour, etc.) Start your day with plain oatmeal w/ cinnamon, and an apple. Snack on Greek yogurts (choose ones with low sugars!) other snacks: a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter and a banana. No sodas, just drink black tea, water, or sparkling water with maybe fresh fruit in it. Your lunch should be veggie based with a ton of protein (think salad with chicken, eggs, quinoa, beans, lentils, and tons of veg. Enjoy the cheese but in moderation, and get an olive oil based dressing.) dinner focus on your healthy protein (chicken, turkey, fish, even eggs for dinner, with avocado toast!) pair your protein with TONS of veggies and either a whole grain side (quinoa, sorghum, etc) or really starchy veg like sweet potatoes (no white potatoes or white rice! If you need rice go brown rice.) Focus on veggies as your largest portion and you will be good! I am 30 weeks, started my pregnancy obese, and have only gained 3 pounds. That is what my diet looks like. Good luck!

Answer

You shouldn’t be trying to lose weight while pregnant. Just eat good and drink lots of water. Don’t eat a lot of junk and you won’t gain more then what you naturally do when pregnant.
