Question 7

i drink a lot of fruit & vegetable smoothies - 1 daily- during pregnant for added nutrients. do i risk possibility of gest diabetes? should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Maybe?: Gestational diabetes has many factors, including genetics, your weight before pregnancy, your diet, etc.  Smoothies can contain a lot of carbs which will raise your blood sugar temporarily, and in pregnancy, that may cause elevated Insulin levels and possibly excess fetal growth. In general, it's better to eat your food then to drink it, and consume protein with your carbs to control blood sugar.

Foods for diabetic: Yes kiwi is ok.  Try to keep carbs on low side see book the glucose solution, green leafty vegetables.  Eat protein e.g. Wild caught salmon, poultry, lean beef, nuts, eggs.  Some fats are ok, organic virgin olive oil, a little organic butter.

Question 9

seven weeks pregnant and only able to eat maybe 800 calories a day. mostly fruit and vegetables since im sick. is this ok for first trimester?

Accepted Answer

Get some help: You need to meet with a clinical dietitian or confer with your OB. The person loosing in this process would be you &amp; maybe baby. The placenta will take from your body/bones/muscles/etc. the nutrients baby needs to grow. I would look to any source of easy but balanced nutrition to maintain your needs at this point. Do not wait for this to get better because it may not.

Question 10

i'm 7 weeks pregnant and not able to eat much, maybe 1200 calories but all health organic fruit, vegetables, protein. is this ok since it's early? i just can't eat more right now.

Accepted Answer

A well balanced : diet, includes various fruits, nuts, vegetables, dairy, meat.  No specific ones are best.  Avoid highly processed meats with nitrates. Seafood avoid top predator fish (mercury). As long as you are keeping fluid down, the calorie amount is not that important, weight loss in the first 12 weeks is very common, although we don't recommend intentional weight reduction.
