I can’t do this gd eating it’s already killing me cause I don’t know what to eat 😩😩😩 online not…

I had gd for me if I had something with carbs balance it out with protein, so if you want a muffin for snack have a string cheese , yogurt , nuts anything like that to balance out the carb

Did they set you up with a nutritionist?

You’ll have to find your balance and what works for you. Watch the number of carbs you’re taking in. Stick with protein as much as possible. Don’t feed into the “low sugar, sugar free, diet, etc” because those things are usually loaded with artificial garbage that does even more damage.

Making sure you’re drinking enough water is huge too.

No fruit in the morning. If you do yogurt, don’t do fruit in the bottom ones. Cheeses and nuts will be your best friend. Pickles help if you’re craving something sweet. And carefully pay attention to portion sizes.

@laniejay, yes but I don’t see her til next Friday smh so I’m just google things that’s not helping me... so far I had whole grain cereal and a sausage egg McMuffin and I guess I’ll drink water

@meka2013, try to stay 30-40g carbs for meals and 10-15g for snacks.

Legit low carbs, high protein and lots of veggies. Depending on how severe your GD is, you eat around 45 carbs a meal (except in the morning when I think it’s super low). It is annoying, but I think it’s just more annoying because you can’t eat the things you want.

It’s really not that bad and the nutritionist will help you map out a meal specifically for you.

@laniejay, thank you now the only problem is I don’t have money to buy the foods I need to eat.. things is getting really hard right now I just wanna cry.. I’m over this pregnancy 😢😢😢

@meka2013, do you get WIC? Are there local pantries? Talk to your doctor, they might have suggestions as well.

I ate a whole lot of veggies.

Yes I get wic be my renewal for that is not til November

@laniejay, I gotta think of something
