I'm just not sure that could get all the good fats I need from fruits, veggies, and meat to keep growing a healthy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole30-during-pregnancy#post-982787 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:10:07 +0000 TheReelDeal 982787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like enough to me lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole30-during-pregnancy#post-982727 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:59:32 +0000 FarmWifeGina 982727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheReelDeal: I already cook nearly completely from scratch (except for condiments, apparently, lol), and since I'm GF I rarely even bake anymore. But it doesn't feel like enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole30-during-pregnancy#post-982695 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:52:58 +0000 TheReelDeal 982695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, eating whole unprocessed foods is hard. Some nights I do not want to cook, but maybe you could just try healthy swaps instead of the entire Whole30? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole30-during-pregnancy#post-982654 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:47:27 +0000 FarmWifeGina 982654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Last fall and winter I did several rounds of the HCG program- 500 calories a day and a very restricted diet. I lost 75 lbs. total (and gained 5 lbs. back before I got pregnant), so I know I have the self control, but it's freaking HARD and I'm tired and I'm not sure I want to put myself through that mental game again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole30-during-pregnancy#post-982642 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:44:54 +0000 Running Elley 982642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 23.5 weeks and I'd totally do it. I'm actually considering it too. I'm scared though- my self control has not been great lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole30-during-pregnancy#post-982591 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:38:51 +0000 FarmWifeGina 982591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone done it? Would you?<br /> I'm considering it. I'm 24 weeks and have gained 19 lbs. so far. Not the worst, I know, but I gained 80 lbs. with my first pregnancy and I'm terrified of it happening again. Currently I'm gluten-free due to a sensitivity and I'm cutting out all refined sugar- down from the ice cream I've allowed myself on weekends and the BBQ sauce and other condiments that I've overlooked. But I feel so out of control and a little freaked out. At the same time, cutting out gluten and being low sugar has been hard enough (it's been almost a year) and the thought of having to make MORE dietary changes, especially when I don't live near a grocery store that offers much in the way of alternative ingredients, is so overwhelming it make me a little teary and panicky.<br /> But I'm still considering- would you? </p>
