Pregnancy Diet - Gestational Diabetes Sample

Sample Diet by a buddy during pregnancy

I see a lot of pregnant ladies checking the blog for the kid.  While it is very important to take care of the tiny entry into the world, it is all the more important to take care of yourself too... so a few tips from good friends.

Gestational Diabetes is common in most of the pregnant ladies these days. But diet differs from person to person.

Morning - BF- 15 gms carbs and 1oz protein 1 whole wheat bread slice with protein either 1 egg white or 1/2 slice of skim cheese/ or 2-3 pieces of paneer or 2 spoons of dal or 1.5tbsp of peanut butter.

Mid-Morn Snack- 30 gms carbs and 1 oz protein 1/4 cup of milk or 1/4 apple or any other fruit with protein or 3 almonds

Lunch- 45 gms of carbs with 2 oz protein.   Rice, oats, raagi jaava, cracked wheat , pulka ilantivi evi naaku help cheyaledu.. Basic rice aithe 4 tbsp'ns of cooked rice with 2 pieces of chiken or paneer or 1/4 cup dal ala thinamani chepparu.. but Pita Bread baaga help chesedi because 1 pita bread lo it has only 8grams of carbs ..so nenu 1 and half pita bread with some chick or dal +vegie.
