Hello there! Karen Phoenix here again with reviewblogforyou.com and I want to talk today about what to eat when pregnant. For those of you that don’t know me, I am a nutrition & fitness trainer. I recently became a mom. I gave birth to my gorgeous son a couple months ago.
During my pregnancy, I utilized my experience with nutrition to learn all about what to eat when pregnant. I wanted my baby to be as healthy as possible, but I also wanted to keep off all the unwanted extra weight. I wanted to be get back to my pre-baby weight as soon as I could.
So, trust me when I tell you that I know how you feel and I know what you are feeling. Let me show you how you can be healthy and have the best pregnancy possible. The first thing for you to do is to learn what to eat when pregnant.
You will be surprised to discover how easy it can be to keep your baby healthy and only gain 24 to 30 pounds during your pregnant term. You can also learn how to get your pre-pregnancy weight back within 5 weeks. Its as simple as this. First, find out which products you can eat that are healthy and taste great. 2nd, you need to completely stay away from the crappy and unhealthy foods. That’s it? Yep! So, lets start with talking about what foods you should keep away from you and your baby!
Keeping the nasty foods away from you and your baby is very important. Eating the wrong foods can alter your babys natural growth while in your belly. These unhealthy foods can cause havoc to your babys developmental processes and can make you gain an abundance of unhealthy fat that can lead to other problems like gestational diabetes.
I am sure that you are already aware that little Debbie cakes and potato chips are bad for you, but what about foods that are labeled as health products? Yep, they are also bad for you and your baby. Why? Well I can tell you that its not the calories, or carbs that are harming you. Its not the saturated fats and sugars! It’s the chemicals and preservatives that are harming you and your unborn child.
So go ahead and take a look at the ingredients list on all of these pre-packaged foods and you will see what I am talking about. Science is proving that these chemicals really mess up our systems. You want to learn what foods you can eat to promote a healthy pregnancy?
Make sure that you eat foods that contain only 1 ingredient. Trust me, when I was learning what to eat when pregnant I found out that theres tons of them. Foods like: chicken, steak, fruits, veggies, eggs, rice, bacon, butter, avocados, coconut oil, and sweet potatoes. Make sure that you do not cut down your calories, and DO NOT eliminate carbs. You will do more harm than good.
