Do you eat what you crave or only healthy food?

Question

Feeling guilty that I only want junk food, wondering if I'm the only one 😕

Answer

I’m in survival mode. I eat what I feel won’t make me sick.

Answer

This is my 3rd pregnancy, I was super strict the first one, listened to the doctors and followed their guidelines of how many calories and carbs to eat and I was miserable. second time around, I did my own thing, baby was a big boy (9.12) but healthy as anything but I also craved good things with him. This one, all I want is bacon and cheetos lol but I get so irritable when I don't eat what I'm craving 😕 currently 7 wks

Answer

I stay within my calorie goal, but if I crave something not normally on the diet my doc and nutritionist discussed with me, I will get it in moderation. Like KitKats... that's been a big craving, so I bought some fun size ones to have around.

Answer

I always want fruit and smoothies.

Answer

I crave bad things too, but the key is moderation! For example, if I am craving juice, I'll pour half a cup of juice and half of the cup with water, because it helps me satisfy my craving, but I'm not getting all the sugar and calories as I would in a full glass! Or if I'm craving a hamburger from Burger King, I get one from the kids menu with apples instead of fries, etc. And then I try and eat healthy the rest of the time. :) it's okay to give in sometimes if you are careful and don't do it every day and don't binge.

Answer

I’ve always been a healthy eater but since I found out I was pregnant I have been extremely meticulous. I have cut out all junk food and caffeine, both of which I realize would be fine in small amounts but I’m too scared to do something wrong during my pregnancy.

Answer

If I want something naughty, I'll try to eat something healthy with it, or make sure I otherwise eat healthy that day.

Answer

I bought some delicious apples so that I wouldn’t eat a Snickers every time I craved one. And I got some healthy protein ice cream for when I had ice cream cravings. I’m a... curvy girl so I have to be careful. I haven’t eaten less or anything, but just changing my diet, I’ve lost a few pounds since I found out. I hope this means that if I keep it up, I won’t gain a whole bunch! I wish I had the strength to only eat healthy, but alas... I don’t. So I eat a little of this, a little of that. 😉

Answer

Feeling guilty about this tonight! Was out all day with my little one and am currently 5+3 and had McDonald’s snack wraps for dinner 😞 sometimes you eat the wrong stuff but like everyone else said, moderation is key!
