Gestational Diabetes recipes anyone?

Question

I am going through the dreaded process of figuring out what my body reacts to with my sugar levels and some things I eat I swear are so healthy and then BAM my sugar levels spike way too high and I get defeated again. Are there any recipes or food ideas that anyone had success with going through gestational diabetes during pregnancy? I have not gained any weight and starting to lose lbs because I am scared to eat anything at this point. 27 weeks today. Thanks for any input.

Answer

I do fine with anything that’s low carb- I can’t eat regular breads/flours but do fine using almond or coconut flour and swerve or lakanto sugars.

Answer

I’ve had gd since I was 8 weeks and have things pretty figured out for what works for me. I can eat one serving banza chickpea pasta with basically any lower carb sauce, I can also eat their Mac and cheese, so that’s been a go to cuz pasta cravings. Chili without beans, soups without pasta/rice. Sarah lee de-lite bread is only 15 carbs for 2 pieces, so I can make pb& 0 sugar jelly sandwiches. Lots and lots of veggies. Honestly my favorite thing to eat is some sort of meat (normally chicken or steak) with a BUNCH of veggies cuz they are good carbs.

Answer

Buy the book Real Food for Gestational Diabetes by Lily Nichols! Lots of recipes and snack ideas at the end of the book.
