Gestational Diabetes Diet Meals ?

Anyone have ideas for meals and snacks that you got from your dr ?

I have a sample meals but I am gettting tired of them......

Hmmmm...I went to a dietician..and she basically told me to pay attention to the glycemic index...I avoid pasta and white rice, white breads, etc...

As far as snacks are concerned Im big on cheese, apples with peanut butter, cottage cheese with cinnamon and splenda....

I dont have GD yet this pregnancy BUT Im sure it will be forth coming shortly..Im just going from memory of what I ate the last time...

i find that the south beach diet book has alot of good receipies that are GD friendly.

Re: Gestational Diabetes Diet Meals ?

had GD with my 1st pregnancy - here is what I remember -

Snacks - I mostly had -
peanut butter on crackers or an apple or pretzels
cheese and crackers
fruit
string cheese
rice cakes
natural popcorn
yogurt (one a day - lowfat ones)
wheat bread with melted cheese

For lunch is was mostly bring sandwiches with sides of raw veggies

Dinner - I pretty much ate normally just a little plainer than usual - meat and veggies just skipped the carb or a small carb. I had burgers on wheat bread with lots of veggies. Chicken/Pork/Steak with lots of veggies and stuff like that.
