Hi Ladies,
Just curious if anyone here is also on the paleo diet or has been on the paleo diet while pregnant.
I am new to this life style and have only just made the change over the weekend. My family made this change because we want to be healthier and because I'm diabetic (not GD, Type 2) so I will really benefit from this diet overall.
I'm enjoying it so far but I'm concerned maybe I wont be eating enough calories. I realize the foods I'm eating now are more nutrient dense and healthier but I'm only eating about 1200 calories all together even though I feel like I'm eating a ton! I am eating lots of fruit and veggies, eggs, nuts and meat. No dairy, processed foods, gluten or sugar.
If anyone wants to share how their pregnancy has been or was, that would be greatly appreciated!
