who has changed their diet??
hi who has changed their diet?or do you just eat the same as ever?
what kind of things do you eat?
i ask because i havent changed very much, altho i do try to eat more fruit and veg and fresh juices rather than fizzy etc
and i obviously dont have the things we are advised not to.
because i am at home all day i feel i am eating constantly probably due to boredom in a way.
a normal day would be cereal for breakfast, rice crispies or weetabox usually with hot milk!
then about an hour after i would have a couple slices of toast with lurpak (lighter)
then for kunch i would have soup with bread and butter and then an apple or crunch corner
then for dinner, usually a frozen lasagne type meal or pasta with frresh pototoes and beans/peas
my oh loves to have a puddig after dinner (we are only married since july and that is what he got at home!) so we almost always have a pudding!
but in between all this i might have at least 2 packs of crisps and at least one choc bar a day
am i gonna end up so fat??? is this ok? i am size 10 pre=preganayc and can usually eat a lot of rubbish without puttin gon weight. i lost all my baby weight last time really easily but i feel bigger this time and cant stop eating !!!

Since being pregnant I have gone off meat in a big way. I do sometimes eat it but not very much and just in sandwiches. I will eat sausages but they have to be a certain kind. Basically I've turned veggie! I'm not big on fizzy drinks anymore either. Avoiding these two things which I wouldn't eat anyway has kept the pounds off and I am still at pre-preg weight (however...I lost 9lbs in the first trimester...so really I have gained 9lbs, maybe a bit less.)
Like you I have lots of vices though! I love my salt and have it on everythin even though I shouldn't, also chocolate and melted cheese! And tbh I'm crap at avoiding the things I shouldnt, I have had runny eggs lately just cos they're so yummy! x
Like you Tiger Lily the cravings for some "avoidable" foods became too strong and I did eat small amounts of pate over Christmas and runny egg and bacon on toast was probably the best thing I have tasted in the last 16 wks lol!!!

Im the same i feel like i eat all day too but i have gone off big meals so i eat little and often the only thing im quite partial to is a chicken curry from the chinese but i have to have my breakfast or i feel ill.

They are just so terribly delicious with sticks of toast.
As for weight gain I have gained 60 pounds roughly in each of my pregnancies, and still come back to a size 6 with out killing myself trying after wards. I have no proof but I think you will gai however much weight your body needs and it will shift later. So eat to make yourself happy, and if you worry maybe take a prenatal vitamin.
Now to talk about curry.... I only wish the place up the road from me was open
Breakfast - branflakes & cranberry juice to drink
Lunch - pitta bread with salad or filled with betroot
Tea- cooked meal (trying to avoid ready meals as i heard they are not good if ur pg?)
snack - fruit, choc bar or cereal bar
Exercise - attempting to go swimming
(must confess though, i'm writing this with a tub of choc orange segments next to me! lol) x
