Losing Weight While Pregnant: Risks & Reasons

Protein

I’m trying to lose 10 pounds eating in a calorie deficit. I found that eating protein curbs my sugar cravings and want to incorporate protein in my breakfast. I usually have a toast with butter and jam and cup of coffee ~250 calories. Any recipe ideas that would incorporate protein that doesn’t involve me eating salty in the morning that isn’t too calorie dense? Any egg based (sweet) quick meals I can make?

Food Journal

I’ve been eating unhealthy (sweets and fast food and a lot) for a month and a half now. I’ve gained a lot of weight — people are like you’re pregnant it’s okay — but I know my habits will be here after baby is here. I need to switch things up — so I’m commuting to log everything I eat during the day in the comments below. This way I can see and consciously start adjusting my ways for my and my family’s health benefits. Feel free to log what you eat too if it’s something you would find beneficial 🫶

Is this a good enough reason to consider doing a weight loss pill?

I am a big emotional eater/bored eater. I hate it and Ive tried so much... No matter what anytime I'm bored or sad I can't stop myself.all I think about is food and no matter what or how much I eat I always want more until I literally get sick...Do you think that's a good enough reason to go on weight loss pills?

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??
