Sensible diet during pregnancy?
I am going to start walking and lifting weights to tone my arms- I am 5 months pregnant. I have been drinking mainly water – eating salads, but not ALL the time. I eat Special K cereal in the morning with yogurt.. There have been a few times that I’ve had not-so healthy things. And I want to know what’s considered a sensible diet while being pregnant for someone who want to lose weight in her arms and tone her arms and start excercising. I want to be on a excellent diet, but at the same time I get cravings some times… Could someone be kind enough to maybe direct me to a website that has a list of fantastic stuff to eat while being pregnant that will help me somewhat lose weight and be healthier? Or could someone form their own list for me? THANKYOU!!!!
Lift very set alight things to start, like soup cans. Don’t over do it even if, it could hurt the baby.
And trust me, your arms are going to get plenty of work out carrying that baby around. Tone up the natural way! And keep eating healthy. If you breast feed the pregnancy weight will come off in no time, really. I was smaller than my pre-pregnancy weight in about two months.
Why are you doing heavy lifting while you’re pregnant? You could be not only hurting yourself but your baby. The baby needs all the nutrients that it can get so if you’re ‘diet’ing to lose weight, wait till after you have the baby. When you’re prenant you feed your cravings minus the caffeine and such… talk to your doctor..References :
Lots of protein but don’t scare your baby to death by sending down a whole bunch of stuff he/she won’t like, like broccoli or Brussels sprouts (smile).References :

Okay. Cut out eating in linking meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta’s, rice, cereals, lollies etc. These are the stout making foods.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in linking both sessions you’ll burn even more calories.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets.
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in linking meals.
Summary:
Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast.
Lunch can be a protein drink.
And all normal meals at a normal supply. Cut down on potatoes and only have small parts of these.References :
Lifting weights for the first time at 5 months pregnant is a BAD thought. Do mobility exercises, for arms, lacking the weights, and whilst you’re sitting down – your own bodyweight should be enough to commence with, then progress to weights once the baby is born, if you feel the need.
Once the baby is born your arms will have plenty of exercise if you’re looking after the baby yourself, so don’t worry too much about it now.
Cravings are your body’s way of telling you that something vital is missing from your diet. In all your interest in being healthy and slim, make sure it isn’t food. You sould have some guidance from your midwife about the vital food groups. (These generally exclude too much fatty or salty food, unpasteurised food and those high in vitamin A – such as liver).
One vital thing to do is to relax and delight in your pregnancy, as feelings of anxiety are transferred to the baby. Buy some whale music, or play Mozart – relax.References :
1) Pregnancy and bringing up the rear weight do not occur–question your doctor if this is healthy for you, but generally you are expected to gain at least 20 pounds. You can’t just change that.
2) If you did lifting and walking before you were pregnant, you should be fine. If you are just starting it even if, check with your doctor .You need to keep your heartrate under 140. Try exercises that are simpler on your knees, such as swimming.
3) Instead of focusing on bringing up the rear weight, try to eat healthier. Eat your greens, your veggies, your fruits, your proteins, and take your vitamin. Set a GOOD model for your future child by eating well instead of eating to lose weight.References :
