GD diet?

Anyone have a copy or list of foods I can eat?

Re: GD diet?

you can pretty much eat anything BUT sugar and you need to cut back on the amount of carbs you eat.

whole grain/high fiber carbs are best- brown rice, high fiber cereal like Kashi, brown rice pasta, sweet potatoes....

you also need to watch fruits- i was OK on lower sugar fruits like cantelope and berries... I did have a small apple here or there but it had to be a small apple.

i used to only eat from 1/2 cup to a cup of carbs at a time. Your doctor or dietician should provide you with an exchange list and an eating plan- I had certain rules like I couldn't eat fruit before 12 and I had to have 1 dairy with every meal.

Re: GD diet?

your blood sugar might be too low now...
what have you eaten so far today...???
you still need to make sure you are getting enough calories.
i wish I still had my information -but I threw it out after DD was born.

maybe try having a piece of cheese and a few whole grain crackers?
you still need to eat carbs- you just can't eat them w/o watching.
