Guide To Pregnancy Diets

By Janine Rose Morley

Guide to pregnancy diets A pregnancy diet is built around a few basic principles (which are actually pretty similar to the basic principles of healthy eating at any time in life). Pregnancy and eating always seem to go together.

Your first priority is feeding your unborn child. Do not skimp on the right foods for your baby. Include at least two portions of fruit, six portions of grains. You should also include four or more servings of vegetables and dairy protects. Also include two or three servings of protein. This diet should help ensure that your child gets the proper vitamin. Your doctor will supplement this with vitamins. Iron, Vitamin C, and folic acid are all needed for the healthy growth of your baby. Finally, you should have no alcohol and very limited caffeine.

How much weight must you gain during pregnancy? You should expect to increase about 25 pounds. Whatever you do, do not attempt to lose weight during pregnancy. This can put your child at threat. If you are already anxious about your weight before pregnancy, you can limit your weight gain. As always, consult your doctor and research a reputable guide to pregnancy diets. The pregnancy diet is obviously not for men. (Although in this day and age that may well change sometime)... Who knows what the men in their white coats are up to ?

Pregnant or not, you ought to be limiting fat to 30% of your calorie intake. This is especially correct when you are pregnant. Check labels and stay away from fatty meals. Low fat milk will cover your dairy needs just as well as whole milk. Sweets are not part of the pregnancy diet either, unfortunately.

There are other foods to avoid during pregnancy. Seafood that is known to be high in mercury, such as swordfish, should be avoided. Artificial sweeteners should also be avoided. Any foods that are a source of potential bacteria, such as raw meat, eggs, or certain cheeses should not be in your diet. What should also be taken in to account that a pregnancy diet that is aimed at your babies health is not a weight loss plan, but rather a way of eating properly for the benefit of yourself and your unborn baby while pregnant.

The above information should keep you allow you to stay healthy, fit, and as comfortable as possible during your pregnancy. Make sure you keep these in mind when creating your proper pregnancy diet. - 17274
