Whatever your long-term goals for weight or health, you have one priority when you are pregnant – to ensure you and your baby are healthy. What you eat plays a significant role in this. While a lot of research is available, there is no definitive evidence to support one ideal diet for everyone. There are many varying opinions on diet, and nutrition is very individualized. This episode overviews popular diets and considerations for continuing or starting these diets during pregnancy. Learn about the risks and benefits of diets like caloric restriction, low glycemic, keto, plant-based, carnivore, paleo, low fat, the Louwen diet for pregnancy and birth, and intermittent fasting.
