Theese are all the stuff i have never ate before, but for real! I used to eat some fruits and a lot of unhealthy food, living on caffeine, my meals were just carbs, terrible diet and no wonder why i have 2 girls. I have meals with mostly meat, eggs, a lot of cheese, mixed with healthy fats and vegetables. Started eating veggies, and before sway i ate just potatoes and carrots sometimes. I also had no desire for sweets, i guess i got enough from fruits. So i cut that also, and that was thing number one with girls. Fruit i included: apples, bananas,peaches, pears, grapes, figs, cantaloupe, watermellon, lemon (in lemon water), blueberry. These are most common in my country.
I was never hungry. I have snackes in between every meal, before bed also. Always included some protein in it, and i actually had about 80-100 gr proteins a day. It varied by days, but that is way more than my previous pregnancies.
I was obssesed with diet, planning every day what will i cook, groceries, kind of stressed about diet.
