I concur with this recommendation.
Also, if you have no medical reason to track Sodium, I suggest you swap it out for something more useful, like Fiber, and strive to hit your fiber goal, which is obtainable by eating less hyper-palatable food and more vegetables. Fiber often keeps people fuller, making it easier for them to not go over their calorie targets.
Many pregnant women are told to watch sodium. Personally, I think swapping sugars for fiber would be a better idea.
Fair enough. That works too0 -
Don’t try to lose weight while you are pregnant. Your baby needs the extra calories.1

Okay, i get it. Sorry for my stupidity. I've been planning on getting pregnant, so of course I care about the childs development. Thanks yo those who gave kind suggestions.5

Definitely a question for a doctor. Every situation is different. My doctor had me lose weight when I was pregnant the second time only, because I was obese and diabetic then but not the first time. But that's my situation, not yours, only your doctor can tell you this based on your weight and health history.1

Especially since she eats way more prepared foods/restaurant foods than fresh fruit...3 -
I lost weight in pregnancy...... Because I was so ill
I was hospitalised at 22 weeks and my baby arrived at 25 weeks and 1 day fighting for his life
I ended up in a different hospital for a week after failing to recover from minor surgery to sort an infection in my hip as I was too weak to fight off the bug
I really really don't recommend this weight loss method, it sucked *kitten*
Your meant to gain in pregnancy to account for baby, placenta, amniotic fluid and extra blood volume
Your doctor and midwife can help you work out what a healthy gain would be for you and baby
Congratulations x5
