I am nauseated pretty much all day but what bothers me the most is that pre pregnancy all I usually ate was fruit veggies and proteins with some healthy carbs. Now I can't even look at veggies without wanting to throw up! I can eat fruit but I am going into carb overload I swear. I used to never eat fries or hamburgers, but that is all I can stomach now! I'm bummed because I'm worried I will pack on the pounds and I want to eat the good stuff for my baby growing inside me!
Carrots, broccoli and fruit are not fattening; most veggies have few to no calories, if they are steamed or grilled. They should NOT be avoided. Bread and pasta made from whole grains are also very healthy.
There are 2 types of carbs: simple carbs are those found in sugary foods, white breads and regular pasta, sodas, etc. Simple carbs are broken down quickly and if not used right away for energy, will be stored as fat. These are the ones that should be avoided.
You need a healthy mix of lean protein, low/no fat dairy, whole grains and LOTS of veggies for vitamins, fiber, complex carbs........ veggies are actually healthier than fruit because they don't have the high sugar content.
I actually believe that you need to limit your fruit intake to 1-2 servings/day in order to reduce the sugar content.
Ive had GD for 3 months and its stressful at times because im so hungry and cant pig out on any sweets or carbs. Basically stay away from sugar and carbs. Also watch your fruit intake because those are carbs. Basically my day consists of: wake up and prick myself to check my fasting sugar level, eat two eggs and half an english muffin, prick myself 2 hours after breakfast, eat a snack which is a small apple and cheese or half a banana and peanut butter.
Limit your carbs if it's medically possible - when you do eat carbs, do it in veggies, fruits, and brown rice.
Look up recipes from nutritionists and make those.
Start taking walks as often as u can.
Eat smaller meals as often as you can. try to avoid too many snacks because they have a lot of sugar and carbs that you really don't need. Fruit is nice and light and can be filling. Yogurt is good, oatmeal is very filling.
s a lot of boneless skinless chicken breast, rice, pasta, salad, fruit, and frozen veggies. I snack on reduced fat string cheese, juice, and tortillas when I get hungry.
However, I've noticed that following my menstrual cycle, I feel slightly dizzy if I go without food for more than a few hours. I get pressingly hungry, and when I eat, can only finish about half of what I prepare before I get full. Two hours later, I'm urgently hungry again. I'm constantly thirsty as well.
Thank you, I will try hard.
You will need to stick with those foods that will not raise your blood sugar quickly, such as high quality proteins, whole grains, lots of veggies and some fruits (i.e. complex carbs). Some fruits have much more sugar than others, so will raise your blood sugar almost as quickly as eating candy. It's always best to consume whole fruit, rather than juice, since with the whole fruit, you get the added benefit of the fiber.
treatment for PCOS is the elimination of processed foods such as breads and bread products and eat lots of veggies, lean meats, healthy fats, nuts, seeds, etc. Avoid fruit, except for one serving/day, or any simple carbs that spike the blood sugar, which, in turn spikes insulin levels. This will help with weight loss, which will help with the symptoms of PCOS.
