Trying to eat clean now that im pregnant and got stuck on which oil to use for daily cooking. Ghar pe we use refined but is that fine or should I switch? Curious what you all use.
For gestational diabetes, it's crucial to manage fat intake. My nutritionist suggested cold-pressed groundnut oil or olive oil in moderation. Avoid refined oils completely. Always discuss with your doctor or a dietician.
Honey, you can stick to what you normally use at home, provided it's a good quality, unrefined oil. Many people use rice bran, groundnut, or even olive oil. Just ensure it's not reused or very old. Balanced diet is key.
I focused on healthy fats in my diet, not just cooking oil. My doc recommended virgin olive oil for salads and light cooking. For daily use, I stuck to a good quality rice bran oil. Combined with walks, it helped a lot.
I used a mix of cold-pressed mustard oil for some things and filtered groundnut oil for others. My gynac just said avoid highly refined oils. Also, don't overdo the oil in general. Moderation is important.
Mummy ke ghar pe toh hum normally jo ghar pe use karte hain, vahi use karte the. Sunflower oil, ya kabhi ghee. Bas quantity thodi kam rakhte the. Ghar ka khana toh best hota hai na, fresh oil ke saath.
PCOS mein we are always careful about inflammation, so light oils are generally better. I used olive oil and rice bran oil mostly. But it's always good to check with your doctor, especially if you have any existing health issues.
