What do you eat?

Question

So I  am obese. I know a lot of people say don’t lose weight while pregnant but since I’m 70 over (I’m also very short, having pains) my doctor said slow and steady is okay so I’m trying to maintain my diet changes while growing our little blessing. Hopefully I can still lose some weight along the way even if it’s only 10 pounds. The problem I’m hitting now is my nausea!!!! I’m finding I can eat carbs okay. Bread, beans, crackers…protein makes me sick, cheese, sauces, I can eat some fruits. Just trying to find some meals I can make to help me stay on track vs eating a box of cheez its 😅

Answer

I've been craving steak and pickles a lot this pregnancy, so that won't help you much, but something else I've really been enjoying is avocado and egg seasoned with everything bagel seasoning on sourdough. Also, I've frequently had oatmeal with a scoop of vanilla protein and berries or a smoothie made with greek yogurt, frozen berries, some banana and milk. Before getting pregnant I made the switch from low fat to full fat products and actually lost weight because it's much more satiating and I ended up eating less throughout the day.

Answer

I was overweight w my pregnancies. Because I had it w my first, I was tested early. I was diagnosed at 13 weeks and followed GD friendly diet (low carb) basically my entire pregnancy. I lost weight up until my third trimester, then gained a little. I ended up back at 0 (no lost and none gained) by the time baby was born. I left the hospital 20 pounds lighter than my pre pregnancy weight. It was be very easy to lose weight as long as you choose healthy.

Answer

Plain Greek yogurt with frozen raspberries and a little maple syrup helped my nausea with my son. I was on a mad carb craze with him and that was one of the only healthier things I liked

Answer

Eat a Mediterranean diet it’s healthy but also check first with your doctor or dietitian
