How to manage weight gain ?

Question

I started out at 144 and I weigh 154. I gained 8 pounds this past 4 weeks and he told to watch my gain and try to only gain a pound every 1-2 weeks. Any suggestions? I don’t really eat sweets and drink mainly just water. Thank you in advance !

Answer

I had a friend tell me she knew someone who ate perfectly, worked out 6 days a week, and gained 50’lbs in her pregnancy. 
Another girl I know ate like shit, didn’t workout, and gained like 25 lbs. 
Our bodies are going to gain weight regardless of what we do, some more than others. But try to eat healthy for your mental state of mind, move your body for the endorphins, and know that your body is doing whatever it’s going to do. 
I’ve been struggling with weight gain myself and have to remind myself of this every day.

Answer

I’ve gained 12lbs so far and am only 13 weeks. However, it’s important to keep in mind we gain A LOT of water weight that fluctuates. I don’t think doctors take that into consideration and it’s embarrassing (to me at least).
If you’re worried about actual weight, stick to lean proteins and veggies with lots of water. Fruit is okay in moderation. Then find a healthy exercise like walking or swimming.

Answer

In my opinion as long as you arent being cliche pregnant lady who eats anything and everything, you cant control it. I gained 30 pounds total while pregnant. 5 pounds up until 20 weeks and then in 1 month, like you, I gained 10. Theres 1 or 2 months where it's common for it to happen. I didn't really change what I ate and some weeks I'd gain nothing and others 4 pounds. My guess would be over the next 4 weeks you wont gain as much without changing anything.

Answer

Just eat really healthy trust me it works wonders! Chicken, black beans, salad, ham(turkey) eggs oatmeal (plain) almond milk etc..
I’m 23 weeks and I’ve only gained 4lbs
