I really miss having pakora and all the masala oily stuff yaar. Trying to eat healthy but sometimes the craving is too much. Is it ok to have once in a while or totally avoid?
Oh, I'm not pregnant yet, but I've heard too much oily food can cause heartburn. Maybe in very small amounts, if it's homemade? I think it's better to stick to lighter options for a healthy pregnancy, that's what my sister-in-law told me.
In theory, you can, but practically, why invite problems? Oily food gives acidity and makes you feel heavy. If you crave something, make a lighter, less oily version at home. Or have just a tiny bit, and then balance it with a lot of fruits and vegetables. Be smart about it.
Beta, it's best to avoid too much oily food during pregnancy. Mummy always made sure I ate simple, ghar ka khana. It helps avoid acidity and keeps you feeling lighter. A little bit won't hurt, but don't make it a regular thing, for your and baby's health.
Can you? Yes. Should you? Probably not too much! 😂 I'm in my 3rd trimester and everything gives me heartburn anyway. Oily food just accelerates the misery. A small indulgence is okay, but don't make it a daily habit unless you love antacids more than life itself.
During my morning sickness phase, just the thought of oily food would send me running! But even later, it would give me terrible acidity. A little bit occasionally is probably fine if it's home-cooked and fresh. But honestly, try to limit it, you'll feel much better and avoid heartburn.
Look, no one's telling you to give up everything you love. But excess oily food in pregnancy is just inviting acidity, indigestion, and maybe unnecessary weight gain. Have it occasionally, in small portions, and make sure it's fresh and hygienic. Your body is working hard already.
It's generally advised to limit oily food during pregnancy to avoid discomfort like acidity. Small portions occasionally might be okay if it doesn't cause you issues.
