Chapathi everyday during pregnancy....

hi mom-to-be,

congrats.... total wt gain in the pregnancy cud be 9-13 kg......per month u can gain a max of 2, otherwise not much problem but losing weight post pregnancy wud be tough!
It shud be a balanced diet. Include lots of sprouts, fresh veggies, fruits, few badams and walnuts, dates and 3 glasses of milk. And have them in small frequent meals. avoid the three time a day schedule. That wud force u to consume more. Lots of walking is a must. Only chapathis will do no harm if u r enjoying it
Hope this helps u a bit.
Happy pregnancy:thumbsup

P.S. I am a mom of 10 month old, so pregnancy tips stay afresh

Take care

Hi Nagarathna,

Congrats on ur pregnancy :thumbsup

u can have Chapathi twice a day but wheat would cause heat in your body so while preparing dough add buttermilk instead of water. This would not cause heat in your body...

All da best!!

Cheers!!

I eat chapathis on most of the days with ragi the other time. I eat rice
1-2 times a week.. I am in my last trimester..

Make sure you eat the chapathi with very good amount of veggies or meat ( if you are a non-vegeterian ) Also, eat a fruit almost one hour before your actual meal.. it works for me.

 

As someone said wheat induces heat slightly, so apply little ghee instead of oil..this compensates the heat and ghee is necessary during this time.Ofcourse limit the quantity .Dont worry. eat well and take rest.

Include more veggies and fruits and have a balanced meal

have a safe pregnancy:thumbsup
