diet while pregnant?

Question

So I'm a little over weight to begin with, and I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. I figured not just for me but for the baby I need to eat healthier. But is being on a diet bad for the baby? I figured if I got on one now I'd be use to it by the time the baby had arrived and I could continue it

EDIT: as I stated. I'm over weight and I want to change how I eat that way by the time pregnancy is over I'll be use to eating healthier. I'm not trying to "diet" while I'm pregnant 🤦‍♂️

Answer

Diets are not for pregnancy. Eating healthy drinking plenty of water and daily exercise are perfect though

Answer

Eating healthy is different then a diet... eating healthy is a great thing for pregnancy. Diets not so much.

Answer

All you have to do is eat lots of protein, fruits, and veggies, reduce carbs and sugar. You shouldn't focus on a diet, focus on eating heathier or just make gradual changes here and there. That's what I'm doin, I'm overweight too. I have lost weight but that's not my goal,  But it's best to let healthy eating become a habit, then it will be easier to stick with. 😘

Answer

Wait til nausea hits you, you'll be thankful to be eating anything at that point!

Answer

Eating healthier isn't a diet; it's a lifestyle change. I say definitely choose healthier foods.

Answer

A diet in the sense of cutting calorie intake and restricting yourself is bad.

You can decide to eat under 1,000 calories a day and just eat a Big Mac. It's not just how much you eat but what you eat.

Diet in the sense of what you eat - a diet in real foods and not processed crap is great for you and the baby.

Answer

They put my mom on a diet when she was pregnant with me but for a specific reason. I don't think you should be dieting for no reason though. Diets are bad whether you're pregnant or not. If you want to eat cleaner and healthier in general then yes that's a good idea and I think you should do it. Just be sure to get an ok from your obgyn and make sure you're getting the right nutrients

Answer

If you eat healthy, you might loose weight during your pregnancy; however, eating healthy isn't the same as going in a diet. You should ask your doctor to send you to a nutritionist, so you can build and develop healthy eating habits and see how it can change your body vs. trying to cut calories or going on some crazy diet fad. A good rule of thumb, is to stay way from anything overly processed and try to eat more colorful foods.
