Gestational diabetes is a condition that develops during the pregnancy, when a woman\’s blood sugar levels rise above the normal levels. It can be dangerous because it can cause the baby to gain too much weight, and lead to premature delivery, endangering the life and health of the baby. Typically, blood sugar levels return to normal after delivery, but the woman is at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

If you are worried about developing gestational diabetes, The good news is that you can prevent it with proper nutrition and exercise – all you need is to have the right knowledge and implement that knowledge for your own sake and for the sake of your baby.

When I was pregnant, I did not have that knowledge. I followed well-meaning, but inaccurate and dangerous advice that put my own health and the health of my son in danger. I put on too much weight, and I was very close to developing gestational diabetes. That\’s why I want to share what I learned later, so that women who read it can avoid making the same mistakes.

So, what should you be eating during pregnancy? Diet to prevent gestational diabetes does not differ from a healthy diet that we should all be following every day to ensure the best of health and well-being. It\’s a diet that is based mostly on fresh plant foods – raw fruits, vegetables, and greens, with small amounts of nuts, seeds, as well as whole grains, and beans. The bulk of the calories should be coming from unprocessed, lightly cooked, or raw plant sources. Even in pregnancy, animal proteins, should be consumed in limited amounts.

When you are eating mostly green vegetables, green leaf salads, fruits and other natural foods, you will provide you and your baby with all the nutrients you need need. Unprocessed plant foods contain all the proteins, fats, vitamins, calcium and other nutrients our body need in perfect proportions to properly function and stay healthy.
