I literally crave aloo in everything these days, sabzi, parathas, sab kuch. But people keep saying potato has too much starch and weight badhega. Is it actually okay to eat regularly during pregnancy?
I panicked when someone told me potatoes cause gas and are bad for the baby! But my doctor reassured me that they are perfectly safe and healthy in normal quantities.
I used to eat boiled potatoes with curd to help with my acidity early on. Now my toddler loves potatoes too! Just make sure not to eat too much deep-fried stuff.
Yaar, actually potatoes are totally fine if you don't overdo the oily batata vadas! Boiled or baked potatoes are actually super comforting when you have nausea.
I ate quite a bit of mashed potatoes during my second trimester and it really helped with my energy levels. I didn't face any issues, but you can always check with your dietitian.
Actually, my food tracker app flagged that while potatoes are rich in energy and vitamin C, we should eat them in moderation to keep blood sugar levels in check.
Potatoes are a good source of potassium and vitamin B6, which is great for morning sickness. Just avoid too much frying, and if you have gestational diabetes, keep a check on the portion size.
Potatoes are great because they are cheap, filling, and healthy if boiled or baked. It's a great way to stay full without spending much on fancy organic foods.
Haha, honestly, potato chips are the only thing keeping me sane in this third trimester! But yes, boiled potatoes are much healthier if you actually have the willpower, unlike me!
