Weight loss diet during pregnancy – please read details?
Question : Weight loss diet during pregnancy – please read details?
Though it is not conventional, my obstetrician put me on diabetic diet for this pregnancy. I am insulin resistent and overweight, and my doctor wants to prevent gestational diabetes. She said it is safe for me to lose weight for the entire pregnancy.
Has anyone experience with losing weight during pregnancy? How much did you lose? What did you eat? Thank you.

i was put on the same “diet” with my second pregnancy. i really didn’t lose weight. but after the baby was born i was told i could eat the same way and i did lose weight. i lost about 30 pounds after my second. i saw a regs. dietitian and she helped with the meal plans. i ate string cheese, 1/2 cup of fruit at a time, peanut butter and sug free jelly, lean meats, loads of veggies, whole grain bread (1 piece at a time). 1 packet of oatmeal, 6 almonds, 2 eggs and a 8 oz glass of milk for breakfast. is an example of a breakfast. good luck

I wasn’t try to lose weight but my kids made it happen. They grew without a problem and I lost about 20 pounds during each of the pregs. Somehow the kids all got what they needed and I just naturally lost the weight. Never figureed it out, unfortinitly, it came back while I was breastfeeding….just my luck

Even though you are on a diet, you will be fine if you eat healthy and eat an appropriate number of calories for you body. I wouldn’t go from 2500 cal. (for ex.) to 1000… but if you choose healthy foods your baby and you will get all the nutrients you need. don’t be surprised that you will feel very hungry though as fruits/veggies don’t stick with your body as long as fatty/carb type foods do… Eat lots of small healthy meals.

I can’t personally answer your question, as it does not apply to me. However, my best friend went through this with her first baby. She was overweight (has since had gastric bypass…). I know she didn’t gain ANY weight during her pregnancy and lost between 5-10 pounds, which doesn’t seem like a lot but she was pregnant so it was the equivalent of losing 30-35 pounds. Anyway, I know she ate VERY healthy. No soda, no sugary juices, no pizza or anything like that. She ate a lot of greens (salads) and snacked on nuts and fresh fruit. I know for her, the soda thing was really hard. Hang in there, it will probably be really hard to maintain a diet during pregnancy. Good luck

I had gestational diabetes with my first, and type 2 diabetes with my second baby. I followed a strict diet with both, and both were born healthy. I really did not realize how much weight I had lost until after the babies were born. You gain fluid and baby weight etc that replaces the body weight you are actually losing. I was 20 pounds lighter with my first born, and 40 pounds lighter with my second born. If your OB hasnt suggested it, ask to see a dietician. A registered dietician will make sure that you are getting enough calcium, protein, and vitamins in your diet to support a healthy pregnancy. Here is wishing you a happy healthy 9 months
