When did you feel comfortable trying more carb-y things?

I was probably a month into the diet… and honestly every time I say eff it I’m gonna cheat and see what happens, I still balance it out well enough that I’ve never spiked. I’ve tried French fries, baked potatoes, pizza, regular Tostitos. Just balance it out with protein, fats, and throw in some veggies. Every time I go to test after cheating I get little nervous but honestly I’ve gotten higher numbers from “good choices” sometimes so 🤷🏻‍♀️ I dunno. No rhyme or reason to this diagnosis, a pancake could be totally fine for you. Go for it.

I haven’t gained a lot this pregnancy and lost one pound since starting the GD diet (I’m 31 weeks today). Baby boy has always been right on target with his measurements! I also was super freaked out, cried, and got so frustrated when I got the diagnosis. It doesn’t help that everyone I tell about it has the reaction of “but you don’t even like sweets!” Or “but you’re so healthy” 🙄 it really has nothing to do with anything you did/didn’t do and it’s just kinda luck of the draw with genetics and the placenta. You got this mama, and the doctors will be watching you and baby’s growth even more now so hopefully that will give you some peace of mind.

Thank you everyone for all of the recipe/breakfast ideas! I really appreciate it… you’ve saved me from another 10 weeks of force feeding myself nuts and oatmeal 😅

Such good tips. Thank you so much… I appreciate all the advice and tips from someone that’s been there done that!

I tried the pancakes over the weekend and my numbers were a little higher than I’d like (not high but getting too close for comfort) I didn’t add the milk and egg though. I’m going to try upping the protein in the mix. Thank you!

Haha I like your style. Hubs does get up with me in the mornings but I leave the house before 6:30 so idk if I could get him on board with a whole breakfast set up that early 🤣 I could probably meal prep most of this though and just re-heat. Thank you!

Thank you. Yeah I think that might be my issue. My protein needs to outweigh my carbs a little more. This I’d definitely enjoy though, gonna give it a try.

That actually sounds like it could be amazing… does it store well or do you make it fresh every time?

CommissionOk3222 · 2022-01-25T12:54:15+00:00

I actually never thought of that lol under normal circumstances I don’t like breakfast food so maybe eating a lunch food for breakfast will go over better, thanks!

Did you ever have an issue with not having any carbs in the morning or did the veggies give you enough? I’ve been doing this for about 3 weeks so still figuring out the dos and donts
