During pregnancy, you should not limit yourself to food, go on a diet. Going to the other extreme and eating for two is also undesirable. What should be done to adhere to the golden mean, how to follow the rules of a healthy diet?
Instructions
Step 1
The appetite of a pregnant woman is capricious and unpredictable. It can play out on the road, in the subway. And in order to moderate it, it is not at all necessary to snack on food that is heavy for the body: a sausage in a dough, a sandwich or a hearty pie. When going for a walk, stock up on something low-calorie and healthy: an apple, a pear, cereal bread, drinking yogurt - and they will satisfy your hunger.
Step 2
Don't skip breakfast even if you don't feel like eating. At least drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice or nourish your body with a light salad. Otherwise, by lunchtime you will get really hungry and during it you will simply overeat. Make it a rule to eat often, but in small portions. This mode is most optimal for the healthy functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
Step 3
Do not forget about the fresh air and physical activity, of course, if the pregnancy proceeds without complications and the doctor recommends moving more. Swim in the pool, walk as long as possible, go to nature in the forest, to the river. Blood circulation is activated, oxygen will enter the body regularly, metabolism will increase. Take breaks during work every half hour: walk along the corridor, do exercises
Step 4
Try to listen and hear your body - its prompts are the most correct. Do you want meat? This is a signal that you need to enrich the body with proteins or iron. Indulge in a piece of beef stew. Or, on the contrary, it can turn back from meat - then lean on other healthy foods.
Step 5
It is better to limit some edibles to a minimum: sausages, pickles, canned food, semi-finished products, pates, soda. Natural products such as chicken, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits are what you need. And, if there is no edema, drink about 2 liters of liquid a day. Then the water balance in the body will be normal. As a result, excessive appetite will decrease.
