Anyone have pointers on good food to eat, while expecting, that helps to not gain any weight. My doctor says I should…

can i ask how much you weigh? seems like an unrealistic thing hes asking especially since baby could be 8-9 lbs and then theres still the fluid, breast increase, and normal weight gain as well

@mizharleyquinn199 I'm a bit on the fluffier side, and I know I'm supposed to gain less during the process than someone who's skinner (healthy weight), but it seems too low and unrealistic. But I'd like to give it a try. My biggest concern is every time I try to really monitor my weight and stress about it, my body freaks out and I gain weight.

even if you are in the fluffier side thats an unrealistic goal tbh. i was 100 lbs when i found out and gained 35 but usually its suggested between 25-45

Try not to think about it too much. Think of it more of curving your appetite. Don't have a whole large Sundae. Get a small for the craving and eat it while going for a walk. Eating and siting is a sure fire way to gain weight. Eating an unhealthy snack while walking my treadmill or the dog helped me a lot when I was bigger. Also. Try this table :) good luck doll, but focus less on the number and more on, salt, blood pressure and cholesterol. Happy and healthy can be together.

@onlyhuman, Thanks for the great info!

Happy to help 😊
