Approximately 5% of all pregnant women
in the US develop Gestational diabetes.
It is becoming more and more common
these days as so many people have bad
eating habits. Even younger women in
their twenties can be diagnosed as
having Gestational diabetes. There are
many questions pregnant women want
to know the answers to, such as what
types of food is safe for them to eat.

Well, the underlying problem that causes
Gestational diabetes in the first place is poor
eating habits. Anyone who eats too many bad
sugar and carbohydrates is at a risk. Eliminating a
lot of sugar and carb is hard for some people, but it
must be done in order to help treat Gestational
diabetes. The internet is filled with thousands of
Gestational diabetes recipes that are easy to cook
and prepare.
There are many ways to modify a certain recipe in
order to meet an individual's personal dietary
needs. It is possible for a woman with Gestational
diabetes to eat healthy foods without sacrificing
flavor. A sample diet plan is always a good place to
get started, and there are many recipes that can be
included with it.

Here are some Gestational diabetes recipes:
Breakfast
Everyone knows that breakfast is the most
important meal, therefore making a good
choice for a breakfast recipe is essential. It is
okay, occasionally, to have one carbohydrate
with a breakfast meal. Food that is high in
protein is important, also.
Some good breakfast ideas include:
Slice of whole wheat toast with an egg
Small bowl of blueberries and a few almonds
Half a banana
A small amount of all natural peanut butter

Lunch:
There are many simple Gestational
diabetes recipes that do not take long at
all to prepare. These are great choices for
those who do not have all the time needed
for putting together a lunch meal. It is
best to stick with 45 grams of
carbohydrates for a midday meal.
Some good lunch ideas include:
Bowl of fresh veggies
Turkey sandwich with whole wheat bread,
lettuce, and tomato
Small piece of fruit
Boneless, skinless chicken breast (it can
be prepared earlier in the day or the night
before.)

Dinner:
Gestational diabetes recipes for dinner
usually consist of foods high in protein,
such as fish and steak. Both of these are
free of carbohydrates.
A few carbohydrates can be allowed with
the grilled chicken, salmon, or tuna,
however.
Some ideas include:
Small serving of pasta
Baked potato
Sugar free yogurt
1 cup of fruit
1 cup of steamed asparagus
