Why shouldn't you be dieting while trying to conceive?

Question

We are planning since last 2 months and I'm a bit overweight so I started a strict diet. But my friend told me ye sahi nahi hai when ttc. Now im confused, can someone explain why exactly? Thoda worried I'm doing it wrong.

Arey baba, diet kyu karna hai? Once you're pregnant, phir toh kitni cravings aayengi! Abhi khana kha lo acche se, body ko strong banao. Mere toh twins hain, so you can imagine kitna nutrition chahiye hota hai. Enjoy your food before the morning sickness starts!

Haan bilkul sahi. Dieting is definitely not advisable when you're trying to conceive. Your body needs all the energy it can get.

Meri gynac ne bataya tha ki diet karna is not good when you're trying for a baby. Body ko proper nutrients chahiye hote hain for ovulation and hormonal balance. Agar aap kam khaoge ya crash diet karoge toh nutrient stores deplete ho sakte hain, which can make it harder to conceive.

Honestly, dieting for weight loss specifically isn't recommended during conception attempts. Your body requires a lot of energy and nutrients to support a potential pregnancy. It's always best to consult your doctor or a nutritionist to ensure you're getting a balanced diet that supports fertility rather than restricting yourself.

Dekho beta, jab baby plan kar rahe ho toh diet-vait sab bhool jao. Body ko takat chahiye hoti hai. Achcha khao, healthy raho, aur stress mat lo. Khali pet rahoge toh baby kaise aayega? Simple baat hai.
