Discovered: Foods pregnant women Must Eat

 Foods pregnant women  Must Eat

In the fitness industry, there is a saying, “Calories are not created equal.”

That means you could eat 300 calories from different foods and have a world of different results. For example, if you ate 2 

bananas and 2 apples a day, which would roughly be 300 

calories. What if you got all 300 calories from 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream?

Would the benefits be the same? Guess which one is going to be better for your baby?

1. Eat whole foods

Whole foods could also be called single-ingredient foods. For example, broccoli is a single ingredient food. You pick it up... you know what it is... and you know it grew from the ground.

Now let’s look at white bread? Most people have no idea how it was made, what ingredients were used... and how in the world did they get the bread so white, anyway? The moment you have no idea what goes into the food, it’s best you avoid it. White bread uses refined flour that is bleached white and all kinds of artificial ingredients go into making a loaf.

None of it is doing your body any favors. Avoid processed foods 

and stick to natural foods.

2. Eat fruits and veggies 

This is common sense. We all know that fruits and vegetables contain a ton of vitamins and minerals that do us good. Be consistent with your diet. You 

must eat these daily.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. You can’t eat 7 apples on Saturday and expect to get the job done. It doesn’t work that way. Consistency is key.

3. Make sure you’re only eating good carbs

Carbs have received a bad reputation over the years. The truth is that carbs are essential for us. This is especially so when you’re pregnant. Carbs give you energy and make up a sizeable chunk of your required calories. What matters is that you consume carbs from healthy sources. 

Fruits vegetables, whole-grain slices of bread, potatoes, oats, quinoa, brown rice, etc. are all excellent carb sources. Pizzas, white bread, white flour products, etc. are bad carbs that 

should be avoided.

4. Eat enough protein

These are essential too. Get your proteins from lean meats, eggs, beef, and beans. Once again, focus on the “single-ingredient” requirement. A few cuts of lean chicken breast are good. A chicken nugget is NOT good. A slab of steak is good. A few sausages are NOT good. 

5. Try and keep it organic if possible

While this can be a little costly, it is highly beneficial. If you can afford to eat organic for the 9 months that you’re pregnant, go for it.

Organic foods are free of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. In the event that your budget does not allow you to go completely organic, then make sure some of the foods that you 

consume are organic.

Foods such as apples, bell peppers, celery, cherries, grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, potatoes, raspberries, spinach, and strawberries have been found to contain high levels of pesticides. So, try and keep these organic, if you can.

6.Eat the right kind of fat

Extra virgin olive oil and virgin coconut oil are two of the best Types of fat you can consume. In fact, of the two, the coconut oil Is better. Saturated fats are found in meat and animal products such as butter. These are best eaten in moderation.

If you forget everything mentioned earlier in this chapter and just 

print out and follow the food list below, you will do just fine.
