We have been trying for a few months now and im trying to clean up my diet. I drink soda almost daily, matlab cold drinks. Should i stop it completely? Anyone faced this.
When I was trying to conceive, I completely stopped drinking aerated drinks. The heavy carbonation and sugar just made me feel bloated and lethargic. Once I switched to plain water and buttermilk, I felt much healthier and conceived soon after.
Ugh, I know how hard it is to resist a cold cola, especially when you are stressed! But soda has too much empty sugar which isn't great when trying to conceive. Maybe swap it for some freshly squeezed sweet lime juice to satisfy that fizzy craving.
Honestly, cut down on the soda. The high sugar and artificial sweeteners can mess with your hormones and insulin levels when you are trying to conceive. Stick to fresh juices or coconut water instead.
My tracking app had a whole section on pre-pregnancy diet, and it recommended avoiding sodas. The excess caffeine and chemical additives are not great for egg quality. Try infusing your water with mint or lemon if you want some flavor.
