Amy's pregnancy diary, trying to stay away from 12st!

[Amyeve]

im struggling with my appetite at the moment.

not getting hungry until the evenings so breakfast and lunch are a struggle, then i overeat in the evening

anyone got any opinion on slimfast while pregnant? i have a tin already from a while back. wondered if i should have some for breakfast instead of nothing....

i know it has sugar and stuff in it, but surely something is better than nothing? hmmm might give it a go tomorrow

Hmmm, not sure about slimfast when pg... It is probably full of E-numbers too, and it may fill you up more so you eat even less later. Why not just have a glass of milk and some fruit instead? That should kick start your metabolism and get your appetite going again.

i have been drinking milk, thats what made me think of adding something to it.

couldnt stomach fruit tbh struggle with it when im not pregnant.

You werido, lol! Onlu joking, it is just that I am the complete opposite!!! I bring 4-5 pieces of fruit with me to work everyday, often pop out for a punnet of strawberries and still eat more fruit in the evening. Couldn't live without it!

What does take your fancy for breakfast then? I have heard lots of people say those Belvita breakfast biscuits are really nice, if you think something like that may work? Yogurt, possibly with a little musli sprinkled over it? Or an egg or two as you like them?

These are the ones I meant:Belvita Milk & Cereal Breakfast Biscuits (300g) in Tesco | mySupermarket

thats what i mean, absolutely nothing takes my fancy. got plenty of tasty stuff in just no appetite until around tea time

What about a more filling drink? A milky drink (I have a weakness for chocolate milk!), or a smoothie of some kind. I don't know much about slimfast, I tried it once for about 2 days and gave in as there was no way I could do it!

Maybe your appetite has just got out of sync with all the moving and you just need to it back to normal. Perhaps a change of cereal, or pick one that you don't usually get even though you like it (mine would be crunchy nut cornflakes - they'd just go too quickly), and just try and eat a small amount of it and slowly build that up at first.

If you love strawberries it's the british season now and cheaper in the shops. A bowl of those on their own is a wonderful snack.

I've not had much of an appetite for several weeks now, I've just pushed myself to at least eat the necessary foods, 3 times a day, even though I'm not eating much.

Hopefully it'll sort itself out now you're in your new place, a bit more relaxed etc.
