Im in 3rd month and already feeling i should be careful about weight. Not trying to diet obviously, just dont want to gain too much extra. How did u all manage healthy weight without overeating?
Cutting junk and sugary drinks helped me most without much effort. I kept fruits and nuts handy at work instead of snacking on biscuits. Small swaps, no crazy dieting.
Yaar in pregnancy the weight comes uninvited like relatives during the holidays. Just eat sensible, move a little and don't beat urself up. The body knows what its doing, trust me.
Don't diet to lose weight while pregnant, thats not safe. Just avoid extra sweets and oily food and eat proper meals. The rest balances out, and ur doctor will tell u if gain is too much or too little.
I focused on staying active rather than not gaining, some weight gain is normal and needed for baby. Daily walks that my doctor cleared and home food kept me steady. Don't aim to stay thin, aim to stay healthy na.
The aim isnt to avoid weight, its to gain the right amount. My doctor told me a healthy range to stay in and I just ate balanced, more protein, less sugar. Ask ur gynac what gain is okay for ur body.
Honestly I gave in to cravings sometimes, life is too short to skip a samosa haha. But I balanced it with fruits and not eating fried stuff daily. The weight is mostly baby and water anyway, it goes.
