Like @mrs. wagon said, I am using some of the principles I learned to eat better and I try to have eggs in the morning and eat cheese or yogurt for snacks and pairing carbs with protein. I need to keep reminding myself that it was a good diet and I wasn't starving the whole time, I did get to enjoy treats and I really did feel good while I was eating this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stick-to-the-gd-diet-after-you-delivered-your-baby#post-453292 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:57:45 +0000 autumnlove 453292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I definitely thought fruit was a freebie before my GD diagnosis! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stick-to-the-gd-diet-after-you-delivered-your-baby#post-453282 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:54:33 +0000 mrs. wagon 453282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish!! However, I learned a lot of things through my GD diet (like protein in the morning will curb your snacky cravings throughout the day!) that I definitely still employ 5 months postpartum. I hope I'll continue this. One big change is that if I want ice cream, a lot of times I will have 0% fage greek yogurt with honey instead and that always does the trick for me. Also, if I'm starving and dinner is still a ways off, I have a yogurt and it always helps. I also don't consider fruit a freebie anymore, which I think is a good thing. </p> <p>I also definitely look at carbs in a whole different way. I was never a big bread person, but I'm now more careful with my rice portions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stick-to-the-gd-diet-after-you-delivered-your-baby#post-453272 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:48:19 +0000 autumnlove 453272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my ideal weight is 115 but I have been hovering around 123-125 in recent years.</p> <p>I might be all talk...but I think I will try to stick to my GD diet (maybe not as extreme) even after my baby is born. I just don't exercise as much as I should anymore and I want to eat a healthier diet. </p> <p>Did you stick to the GD diet after you delivered your baby? </p>
