This is a query that does NOT belong in a thread about weight loss. But even if you do start your own thread about this specific requirement, it’s still hard to see how it would be answered here. I had my own problems keeping myself nourished whilst pregnant due to hyperemesis gravidarum (AKA “morning” sickness) and had to explore a whole range of foods to find solutions, thankfully I had a wide range to draw from as my backgrounds and family are from a range of countries. What I also learned is that advice for women carrying babies differs WILDLY from country to country - what is considered safe in one country is seen as a risk in another. And this isn’t just about opinions; food regulations and processing methods are quite different from one country to another. An example might be a salad - perfectly safe in one country but a listeria risk somewhere else. Other examples would be shellfish, eggs, hummus, cheese, it’s a long, long list and there is no international consensus. Please consider seeing a professional about foods to avoid in your country, if not a doctor, then some kind of health visitor. But simply asking vaguely what to eat in a forum with contributors from across the globe is not in either of your best interests. If you already understand what is safe and want ideas on what to do with ingredients you already have in mind, sure, ask about that - but not in a weight loss thread. |
Big kudos for the pregnancy!!!
Your doctor and Fellow mom or pregnant friends & family should have great ideas for food. Drink much water. You will have a beautiful birth and amazing baby!! |
I would guess Samsmith86was trying to meet the 5 post requirement for posting links and such.

Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread so I apologize if someone else posted this:
Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007). Great book that will change the way you think about nutrition and food. It's a long read and is more like a college level course in nutrition. It takes a VERY deep dive into all the incorrect advice and recommendations we've been getting our whole life from the government, etc. It definitely pushes the low-carb thing but it's a lot more than that. If you truly want understand how your body processes different foods check it out. And don't worry if some of it overly technical and "science-ee" (is that a word? :)) You don't have to totally get it all to understand what it being taught. |
