What Kind Of Diet Do You Follow And Why?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

While I am pregnant, I am aiming for healthy weight gain and to reach my micronutrient targets consistently for the growth and development of my little one.<\/p>\n

I also try to eat smaller portions and eat more frequently throughout the day to manage my pregnancy symptoms \u2013 nausea and headaches in the earlier months, heartburn, fatigue and brain fog in these later months. The hanger is real! (but easy to cure with a snack).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Do Any Challenges Come With Following This Diet?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s hard to reach my micronutrient targets through food intake alone, so I take a prenatal supplement most days.<\/p>\n

When the hunger strikes, it can be hard to keep my hand out of the cookie jar rather than spending time preparing and eating healthier options. But, I know it\u2019s okay to have a treat too \u2013 especially when your coworkers bring in their delicious homemade baked goods!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What Do You Love About It? Have You Achieved Your Goals?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I like tracking my food intake to be aware of my nutrition and keep me from forgetting about my increased micronutrient needs during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

I have been gaining weight within the recommendations and things are going well so far!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
