New Preggos...Diet Question

What kind of diet are you following?? Im a typical Junk food Junkie always eating out or take out...Lately Ive been trying to cook more at home, and eating more fruits..But I cant seem to get any Veggies in there!! Just the word Veggie makes me queasy...But im able to eat...M/S has not been too bad with me..I havent even Puked..lol

eat what makes you not feel sick. if the veggies are freaking you out, just skip them for now - continue to take your prenatals and eat otherwise healthy.

Just do the best you can. That is the name of the game after all! You cant' expect to become the picture perfect eater all of a sudden! Cooking at home is great because you can relax, and you know what's in the food. I ate a TON of fruit - I wanted it all the time. I also ate a TON of chocolate! So I went with my gut really. I also drank a lot of milk and ate a lot of yogurt. Dairy soothed my nausea a lot, and filled me up when I wasnt' in the mood for anything.

I've been trying to eat a bit healthier too, but it's just not possible for me to do this everyday!

I'm sure to take the prenatals each day, as well as more protein and calcium...I have increased my fruit but although I like veggies I don't usually cook them myself at home!

Just making a conscious effort is a great start - I found I was eating healthier than I first thought

Jenny put it best - 'Just do the best you can.' I have the opposite problem, I *love* veggies and fruit is blah to me. I have determined that chocolate is a fruit...and if it contains a chocolate covered cherry or strawberry, better yet!

No one's perfect and it is so difficult to get every single thing in that they recommend. Seriously, when I am faced with an apple and a chocolate chip cookie...which do you think I choose!?!?

I just discovered your first name now lol
I have been saying prayers for 'avatorre'

I have been eating healthy for the most part
every now and then I will have a hamburger and fries not often though
so far I am 13 wks and only went to burger king once lol

I try to eat grilled chix salads or peanut butter on whole wheat for lunch

when I am slightly nauseaus though the only thing I can eat is pasta w/ bland sauce for dinner but my dr. said its normal to crave salty things and starchy things like pizza and pasta, so if I have a day where that is all I can eat what can you do! lol

broccoli and veggies and fruit are good to try to eat everyday too, well not broccoli everyday but some kind of vegt or fruits

I was only able to eat pizza early on. Everything else made me sick to my stomach. But it only lasted for a couple of weeks, then I wanted just soups... that eventually subsided to the McDonalds cheese burger and strawberry shake... leading eventually into full course meals. I basically ate what I really wanted, because if I didn't I would either be still REALLY hungry or sick to my stomach.

Good luck.
