Midwives: “Get as much fat and protein into your meals as you can stomach.”
Me: 🫡

We ran out of the 5% milkfat plain A2 yogurt so I used this sheep’s milk one. The sheep’s milk part is cool, but I don’t care for sweetened yogurt.. it worked in a pinch though.

Since I used a sweetened yogurt I didn’t add any fruit like I normally would. Sad face.

Fructose AND sucrose combined is terribly taxing on your body since one sugar hits your bloodstream to be metabolized and the other hits your liver 😵‍💫

All the fat, protein, and fiber helps to keep me feeling satisfied for hours. YAY !

PLUS it’s a huge help in keeping me regular 😆. Double YAY !

Pregnancy slows digestion WAY down to ensure maximum nutrient absorption for mama and baby.

Does anyone have any fat- and protein-heavy recipes for breakfast ? I’d love to hear about them ! 😀🙏🏾😋

EDIT: not my pregnancy brain just realizing I said “glucose” earlier when I meant “sucrose” 😩 Who else does their best editing AFTER the post has been shared ? 😭😅

Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Gestational Diabetes meal ideas! These are just some meals I've been eating with gestational diabetes that keep my bloods in range! Obviously everyone is different and some days are different than others, what works one day doesn't on another and as pregnancy progresses the insulin tolerance decreases during pregnancy. Everyone is different though and I'm not a professional at this. I try to focus on protein and veg for meals and the days I can't be bothered I have peanut butter, yoghurt and fruit which do elevate my bloods but also you've got to allow yourself a break! If you don't know what it is, here's some info - Gestational diabetes is diabetes diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy (gestation). Like other types of diabetes, gestational diabetes affects how your cells use sugar (glucose). It causes high blood sugar that can affect your pregnancy and your baby's health. 1. Salmon, salad sprinkled with coriander, tomatoes, asparagus, chargrilled peppers and full fat cottage cheese 2. Steak, roast veg (like courgette, parsnip, carrot) swede and carrot plus gravy. 3. Salt and pepper roasted chicken thigh with roast veg and lemon (used oil) 4. Steak with smoked cheese, salad and jarred sundried tomatoes. 5. Homemade quiche (with wholemeal pastry) full fat cottage cheese and salad. 6. Salad, pomegranate, feta and steak. 7. Very cheesy omelette with roasted tomatoes and avocado. 8. Wholemeal toast (plus butter) with smoked salmon and avocado. 9. Chargrilled chicken and bacon with salad, tomatoes, sunflower seeds and quinoa. 10.
