I love potatoes and they are a staple in my diet. I want to make sure I'm not eating anything that could be harmful. Can I eat potatoes regularly during pregnancy, or should I limit them?
I love potatoes in every form! Good to know if we can eat them during pregnancy, as I am planning to conceive soon and already making a list of do's and don'ts.
Potato is a good carb but watch the portion sizes to avoid spikes. Combine it with a light 15-minute walk post-meal to keep your active lifestyle going!
I ate plenty of baked potatoes during my pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding. They are great for energy, just make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
Ghar pe simple aloo ki sabji is safe and good for energy. But if you have severe gas or bloating after eating it, try adding a pinch of hing (asafoetida) or consult your doctor.
Personally, I ate potatoes almost every day in my pregnancy and had no issues. But if you have gestational diabetes, please check with your dietitian about the portion size.
