After the second trimester, the phenomenon of morning sickness and loss of appetite will be alleviated a lot. At this time, many expectant mothers will have a big appetite, and they often have to supplement snacks and meals in addition to three meals a day, but eating too much will cause their weight to grow wildly, and it is uncomfortable not to eat and be hungry. How do you address these hunger pangs during pregnancy?
Today we will talk about how to deal with hunger during pregnancy. First of all, I recommend that you expectant mothers, if you have the conditions, you can try to eat less and eat more meals. Eating less and eating more meals can not only avoid the body from being in a state of long-term hunger, but also disperse the energy throughout the day, without letting the fluctuations of blood sugar fluctuate suddenly and low, so that your energy is more energetic. It is recommended that expectant mothers eat 5 to 6 meals a day, and the specific meals can be determined according to the daily schedule and schedule. Add meals, usually between meals. That is, two and a half hours to three hours after the meal, plus the general recommended time to add food is from 9 to 10 in the morning, 3 to 4 in the afternoon and 8 to 9 in the evening.
But I want to remind you that adding food is not the same as eating snacks, such as sugary drinks, juices, milk tea, desserts, fried, puffed foods, pastries and other foods are high in sugar and calories, high in fat and other foods that are not suitable for expectant mothers. After all, it is still difficult to control weight by opening your legs during pregnancy, so let's start by keeping your mouth shut.
So which foods are more suitable for eating at the time of extra meals? In fact, we have to know that the purpose of the three meals is different, and the suitable food is not the same. Next, I'll tell you about the specific arrangement suggestions.
For working mothers who go out to work in the morning, breakfast may be relatively simple, so adding some foods that can provide satiety in the morning in time can not only increase energy, but also not let you eat too fast when eating dinner. Morning meals are more suitable for carbohydrate and protein-based foods, such as milk, oatmeal, boiled eggs, whole wheat bread boiled corn multigrain packets, original beef jerky sandwiches, soda biscuits and soda biscuits.
It should be noted here that oatmeal is best to choose pure oats, rather than oats, fruits with high sugar content and high fat. If you're buying a sandwich, check to see if there's any meat, fish, or eggs inside before eating them. Of course, if possible, homemade sandwiches are recommended. In the afternoon, the meal is mainly vegetables and fruits, which not only replenishes the water, but also adds rich dietary fiber. For example, a small part of fruit, cucumber or small tomato, an apple or several strawberries, vegetables and fruits, can be a variety, the right amount can be. Expectant mothers with gestational diabetes can choose DGI fruits such as apples, blueberries, strawberries, kiwifruit, oranges, cherries, etc., or pair them with cheese bars, plain sugar-free fermented yogurt, soda crackers and nuts.
Fasting time at night is relatively long, and it is also important to add meals before going to bed for stabilizing blood sugar, especially for expectant mothers with unstable blood sugar, and the meals at night should be light and easy to digest, such as red bean soup, soy milk, milk, eight treasure porridge, etc., pay attention not to recommend additional added sugar, and do not eat too much. Of course, the food with a meal can be replaced under the premise of health, such as expectant mothers with gestational diabetes may choose more coarse grains with little impact on blood sugar in the choice of carbohydrates. If you drink milk and are prone to flatulence, you can also replace it with other dairy products or foods high in calcium.
First of all, pay attention to the amount of meals added. We advocate additional meals in the hope of dividing the total amount of food throughout the day into meals and meals according to a certain proportion. Three meals accounted for 20 to 30 percent of breakfast, 30 percent of lunch and 20 to 30 percent of dinner, and 10 to 5 percent of meals. So you can reasonably allocate three meals, meals and meals according to the calorie ratio, rather than simply adding meals for the sake of eating more, after all, the ultimate purpose of eating less and eating more meals is to control weight and stabilize blood sugar.
Well, today's article is shared here, I hope that we can have the opportunity to become a better self because of the arrival of our children, be better parents, learn to think, learn to judge, learn to analyze, and accompany our children to grow up with him.
