My meal plan is breakfast I get 30 grams of carbs with no fruit and a snack 2 hours later containing 15 grams of carbs lunch and dinner I get 45 grams of carbs with a snack two hours after each meal. Snacks could be crackers with cheese or apples with peanut butter, just really watch your carb intake.
Well, some crackers are healthier than others, but taste can be a big factor. Not all processed food needs to be avoided all the time, just use a sense of balance. If you eat almost all healthy whole foods then by all means eat what you like sometimes or you'll stress yourself out trying to be perfect. If you shop in health foods stores you'll find all sorts of unusual crackers made of grains healthier than wheat and lacking sugar and other unwanted ingredients.
s the milk sugars that will pack on the unhealthy weight, not the fats) and the fats are actually helpful, providing essential nutrients for growing a baby. Remember to replace empty carbs like crackers, cakes, biscuits, or add to them with healthy higher fat foods like avocado, olive oil, flaxseed, coconut oil and cream, bone broth, nuts etc (e.g have nuts instead of a biscuit, or make biscuits out of almond meal instead, or load avocado onto crackers.
Google Glycemic Index [GI] and understand the difference between good carbs [complex] and bad carbs [simple]. Carbohydrates [simple carbs] that break down quickly during digestion and release sugar rapidly into the bloodstream have a high GI; carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing sugar more gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. As asok mentioned, watch the carbs. Carbs are wreak havoc to a t2 diabetics glucose level.

Water between meals! To feel you up.
It helps me... it could be your thirsty not hungry.
My first two I had the worst morning sickness ever but half way through my second preg I learned to keep water and crackers next to the bed. Before your feet get out of bed sip water or ginger ale and nipple on crackers. Its best to then wait a few before getting up. Keeping carbs and protein as a main source of snacks helped relief a lot of my morning sickness. If I even remotely felt hungry then I'd get sick and vomit.
thank u :))..will try to do that..hope it works!
Hi everyone,
Congrats on all of your pregnancies :) I'm getting a lot of feedback from my husband about my nutrition. I feel like I'm eating well (kale or spinach salad, Greek yogurt, nuts daily) and taking my prenatal. Oh and I chug water all day. However, whenever I reach for crackers or ginger ale I feel like he's upset at me. I know nutrition is important but sometimes I just need some carbs or ginger ale to keep from throwing up. Am I being too sensitive?
ll need to eat more fat and protein along with whole grain slowly digestible carbs. Avoid highly process carbs and cakes, candies, cookies - things which break down easily and will raise your sugar..
Make sure you put fat with your carbs as it also slows down the absorption.
Use natural fats as much as possible. Ie butter or cream in your potatoes, cream in your coffee. Do not use low fat foods. Regular fat cheese and yogurt, etc. Eat the fat from your meats.
Usually the more you don't eat...the more nauseous you get. Try eating small portions. Like grazing throughout the day especially when you're about to get nauseous. Carbs are usually what ladies reach for. Try crackers, bread, noodles, pasta, even french fries. I drank gingerale with my first pregnancy. Then opted for less sugary Perrier (carbonated water). Both helps sooth my tummy.
Hopefully you find some thing you can eat/drink that works for you.
If you want some carbs, then eat wheat pasta, or whole grain crackers. I put Tuna on whole grain crackers. These are complex carbs and do not cause insulin spike.
Obviosly NO sugar at all. It is instanty converted into fat.
Eat the right food and you can pig out on them and still loose weight. No need to go hungry.
Do a Google search for a list of complex carbohydrate foods. This will give you all the choices you have regarding carbs.
I do wasabi soy almonds! Real good and 28 nuts are only 6g carbs! I also do pears in light syrup it's only like 12g of carbs...
I often eat a few cookies , bolus , then grab a few more and deliver another bolus 5 minutes later followed by a small scoop of ice cream and then deliver a larger bolus just to be sure it covers it all ( sometimes this results in a low). Same thing with other snacks such as crackers or any other food available in the kitchen.
My question is should I try to limit myself on carbs ? and if so how?
