craving nutella so badly these days, im eating it straight from the jar lol. but then guilt feeling comes, is it ok in pregnancy or too much sugar problem? anyone else having this craving?
Actually yaar, Nutella is completely safe to eat! I had it like almost every second day during my midnight cravings. Just don't finish the whole jar in one go because of the sugar, otherwise life is sorted.
Yes, Nutella is fine in moderation, but try to satisfy your sweet cravings naturally with fruits or date shakes first. Also, if you ever feel extreme nausea or sudden dizziness after eating sweet things, stop and check with your doctor.
Nutella is safe, but it's loaded with sugar and palm oil, so keep an eye on the quantity. I used my pregnancy tracker app to log my daily calories and sugar intake to make sure I wasn't overdoing it. A spoonful now and then is totally fine!
My mother-in-law was shocked to see me eating Nutella out of the jar and told me to eat homemade ghee and panjiri instead! But honestly, a little chocolate makes us happy. Just have it in limit so elders also don't complain.
Oh, don't worry at all! I had massive cravings for Nutella toast during my pregnancy, and my toddler is perfectly healthy and super active today. Enjoy your treats, just keep a balanced diet overall.
If Nutella wasn't safe, I wouldn't have survived my third trimester! I eat it straight from the jar with a spoon because I'm too tired to spread it on bread. Just control the portion so you don't get a crazy sugar rush.
