Less protein.
Hi mummies, dr told me to cut carb and eat protein. No rice & no bread. But i dont eat chicken, beef & meat. Not a fan of fish either. What other protein food can i eat, imma vegetarian. Cant consume prenatal milk as i have diabetes.
kidney beans, chick peas, black eyed peas, paneer, tofu, all lentils. I have gestational diabetes too, but my doctor told me I have to eat a little carbs(reduced, but not zero) which is essential for the development of the baby and energy for mom. you can also try konjac/shiratake noodle which is zero carb noodles when you crave for eating something resembling normal food 😊
