Dieting during pregnancy?

Question

I started at 203 and now I'm 215. I'm only 24 weeks! I'm so scared to gain any more weight. I have terrible back pain and exercising is so hard! If I work im happy. Can I diet a little? My first appointment my OB told me I could lose a few pounds and now I'm stressed!

Answer

I Wouldn't call it dieting,  I'd call it lifestyle change. Just eat healthier. I've managed to shed some kgs in 2 months  because I don't eat bread anymore. If I do its rarely as a " treat". Avoid sugary drinks, Sugar in your tea or coffe, and so on.  Just limit the sweet stuff. Drink plenty of water. For e.g for breakfast I'll have 2 boiled eggs and an apple or substitute the apple with porridge. Don't starve yourself, the point is to make healthier choices. Good luck!

Answer

if by diet you mean change the way you eat as opposed to the amount, then yes. you don't want to cut back calories but eating healthier foods can make a difference and maybe even help you stay full throughout the day since you can snack on veggies which don't have many calories

Answer

My weight fluctuated this whole pregnancy strutted out at 205 then 211 at 11 weeks then down again to 205-206 until about 27 weeks then go 214-216 around 35 weeks I went up to 218 and now probably around 220 at 37+4 weeks. I ate regularly until now I honestly eat like a pig 🐷 so that's why I gained so much weight. I don't think you need to diet just watch what you eat a bit.
