There’s quite the misconception aboutpregnancyand food consumption. Many women believe that once they’re pregnant they can eat anything they want. The fact is when you’re pregnant it is more important than ever to eat healthy, and nourish yourself and your baby with healthy foods. Eating for two will do NO good for either of you. You’ll put on unnecessary weight that will be hard to lose after baby, plus it will make you feel sluggish while you’re pregnant. It’s very easy to get the extra calories you need to support the growth of your baby. Just listen to your body and eat the way you ate prior to pregnancy (well that’s assuming you ate pretty healthy before baby!). If you’re craving sweets head for fruit or a smoothy first. The key is to eat when you’re hungry and choose foods that will nourish both you and your baby!
So true. I used to feel that the thought of being pregnant would do wonders for giving me a reason to indulge in a little more food than I should be eating. Even junk food. But that was when I could eat all the junk food I wanted and not gain weight. All that's changed now, and I've also realized as a result how great I feel when I eat healthy.
