What to Eat During Pregnancy to Avoid Gaining Excess Weight

I watched this just for kicks (not pregnant) because I love your LFSC program so much and was genuinely curious to hear more from you on nutrition. Although the video was obviously pregnancy focused, this gave me a lot of insight into your LFSC meal plan. I'm learning so much from your program- I would love to hear whatever other morsels of advice you have on nutrition!

Would love a new version of this video given latest advice on high fat high protein

I have lost 60 lbs before being pregnant and now that I am pregnant I am afraid to gain a huge amount of weight to be over 200 lbs again.. thank you for these tips

This was very helpful to me! Im 24 weeks pregnant and have been starving like every 1 1/2 to 2 hours every day, and it’s so hard not to just binge eat everything…I really want to gain healthy weight and not get chunky lol

So so stupid …. Why worry about your wieght while your literally growing a human inside of you , you need to eat

Love the info! I can’t hide anything green in our food without my kids noticing

I’m really happy that I already eat most of what you suggested. I want to share my favorite breakfast with you that I ate almost every day in my first trimester
Parfait
Non fat plain Greek yogurt
Goji berries
Chia seeds
Nutmeg
Banana
Black, ras, blue and strawberry
Blended frozen cherries with a little unsweetened almond milk
Crushed pecans or pistachios

Flaxmeal porridge
3 Tbsp ground flaxseed
Warm coconut milk
Chia seeds
Top with berries and 1 tablespoon coconut oil and cinnamon

I would love to hear how you liked these!

Wow she’s really disordered I really pray no woman on here but this. Eat your white carbs enjoy your corn chips and salsa. Too many veggies that you don’t actually crave are not meant to be eaten in that specific pregnancy. For example I thoroughly dislike sweet potato but I love coriander and cucumbers because that’s what baby wants.

Also she’s seriously underrating. Never take advise from someone who you wouldn’t want your daughters or sons taking advice from..

Chips actually do have nutrients in them they are generally from potato and salt is essential that’s why many women crave chips is really the electrolytes and nutrition from potato

Thank you for this! I already eat 90% of what you suggested. FTM so it is reassuring that my diet is good for both baby and me. I have also been following your Prenatal W/O plan and LOVE IT!! Thank you for helping all us Mom's and Babies!! Plan to use your post pregnancy plan once I deliver. <3 – Do you have any suggestions for yogurt substitutes? I have a dairy allergy and can't consume yogurt or any other dairy foods.

Hi! My sister in law is a carnivore and she loves it and says it helps alot. What do you think about the carnivore diet?

Thank you. I want to be more intentional as I really can’t afford to gain a ton this time – this is my third pregnancy and I gain a lot with each pregnancy.

3 servings of fruit a day, dang, I gotta beef things up a bit. Why is it so hard for me to get enough fruits and veggies in.

a stay at home mom is somehow a nutrition expert. it must be tough leaching off your husband

I am tempted to try the crunchy peanut butter on my eggs but also horrified at the idea lol. Does the peanut butter flavor take over the taste of the eggs, or does the peanut butter kind of morph into a more savory flavor when combined with the egg?

Also.. I am currently 35 weeks and have been VERY much considering getting your 12-Week Postpartum Plan, but it's been very very difficult for me to justify the $130 with the low income that my husband is currently making as an apprentice in his job. I saw on your website that you offer three sales a year on your program, but I wasn't sure if any of those sales would be coming up within the next few months! I have seen some free postpartum workout plans (NourishMoveLove and PregnancyandPostpartumTV on YouTube for example) but I just don't have the same level of trust in others as I do in you! I feel so confident that you won't incorporate any moves that could be harmful to my recovery, and I love the level of challenge you provide in your workouts as well as the explanations you give to help with proper form and motivation.
Thanks Ashley!

I LOVE this video! I am 6 weeks pregnant and am so much enjoying watching your videos. Thank you for all that do you and i hope you and your family are well!

You are looking sooo good in this Video! 🙂

I have smoothies almost every day, BUT they're ones that make my midwife happy lol here's the recipe for 1:
1 cup almond milk
2/3 cup unsweetened greek yogurt
1 scoop collagen
1-2 spoonfuls peanut butter
1 spoonful sunflower lecithin (choline!)
cocoa powder to taste
about 1/2 cup berries (raspberries have my heart, but strawberries cost less 😅)
If I'm on my game, I'd throw in a handful of frozen spinach

It's between 20-30 grams of protein! If you can adjust your tastebuds to something less sweet, I've been really enjoying it. Hoping to make them in batches for postpartum! God bless 🙂

Great video, very informative! The only part I disagree with are the yogurt brand choices. Personally, I don't trust dairy products that aren't grass fed and or organic. I avoid brands like Dannon, Activia and Chobani. Even if they have live cultures, I consider the conditions the cows are raised and what they are fed as it effects the milk in the final product. I don't see photos or videos of their farms on their web pages. The labels don't say "Non-GMO". grass fed or "pasture-raised". I look out for brands that are transparent about their farming practices and avoid feeding cows GMO crops. It's been awhile since I've bought dairy yogurt, but off the top of my head brands like Siggi's and Stonyfield are somewhat cleaner and more ethical. Just sharing this because I really wish I knew about the dairy industry years ago! Really I'd like to find a local farmer since it's hard to know what goes on with major dairy brands in general, even the organic ones

Great Idea on the 1/2 pasta 1/2 zucchini pasta! I'm trying that next time I make spaghetti!!

Now that you are on baby four, has your pregnancy diet changed much (ie do you eat more smoothies for convenience?)
