Do you have a healthy recipe you would recommend to pregnant women?

4i's

I am trying to conceive and I was wondering what foods are good to eat when pregnant. There are so many restrictions on what you can and can't eat so I was hoping some people might be willing to share their favourite Pregnancy Friendly recipes.

Answer
Bear in mind that I'm part of the group of people who thinks nuts are fine when you're pregnant. Not everyone agrees, but I personally don't think they have a lot of hard facts to support their claims that it causes nut allergies in your children.

I like grilled sunflower butter banana sandwiches on whole wheat. You slice the bananas and put them on one slice of whole wheat bread, sprinkle a tiny bit of brown sugar on top, spread sunflower butter on the other slice of whole wheat bread, put it together, butter the outside faces of the bread, then grill it just like grilled cheese. It was one of the high protein, high nutrient foods I could stand when I was queasy, besides being great comfort food.

I'm also a big fan of alfredo sauce on whole wheat spaghetti. Whole grains + calcium is good stuff.

There aren't really a ton of restrictions on what you *can* eat, you just have to stay away from those fishes that are mercury risks, any soft cheese made with a visible mold like blue or brie, and any fish, meat, or egg that is raw or undercooked. And alcohol, of course.

What foods/recipes are good for pregnant woman?

jenny

This is my 2nd pregnancy. Last time around I had a rough time at the end of the pregnancy. So I am trying to eat healthier. I am so used to eating mcdonalds though( I work there, so its free) that I can't really remember how to cook and prepare meals. I don't want this kid to be unhealthy so I would like him to get as much healthy food as I can get.
I don't care much for onions & mushrooms.
Anything is appreciated(:

Answer
There is no special diet and recipes for a pregnancy. You should eat a healthy diet that gives all the nutrients to help your baby develop and grow.

Remember that the food you eat is the main source of energy for your baby growing inside. A pregnant women should know that she is not only responsible for herself, but also for the unborn child inside her. The child's physical and mental development after birth will have a influence of anything seen, thoughts and the food eaten by the pregnant woman.

1.There is no special diet for a pregnant women, but eating a healthy balanced diet that gives all the nutrients for your baby to develop and grow is recommended.

2.For the first 3 months, the diet of a pregnant woman should include food rich in iron, folic acid and foods high in calcium. You may take iron and folic acid tablets if you are pregnant or lactating.

3.Folic Acid & Birth Defects
Women should get enough folic acid from their diet before and during the pregnancy to prevent major birth defects involving baby's brain or spine, according to Canadian researcher Louise Pilote of McGill University, Montreal as reported in the British Medical Journal, May 2009.
A cup of Brussels sprouts supplies 93.6 mg of folic acid. Brussels sprouts recipe

4.Fortifying flour products with folic acid may cut the number of babies born with congenital heart disease, the most common of all birth defects.

5.In the next 3 month (i.e.3 to 6 month pregnancy), the woman needs extra protein and calcium. Look for foods with high protein.

6.Pregnancy & Weight Gain
Most women gain between 10-15 kgs, but too much weight gain should be avoided. However, the weight gain during pregnancy will vary according to your pre-pregnancy weight. According to the experts, an overweight woman is advised to gain only 7 kg (15 pounds) and an underweight woman to gain up to 18 kg (40 pounds).
7.Do Not Eat For Two
Many pregnant women wrongly think that they should eat for two. Note that you need only 200-300 extra calories daily in pregnancy, i.e. a cup of reduced fat milk or yogurt and a medium orange. This is because your body actually absorbs more nutrients from food you eat during pregnancy.
Researcher Alison Stuebeworking at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found that pregnant women should avoid eating for two since too much weight gain is linked with complications at birth. Pregnant women who eat fried foods and dairy products and food for two are more likely to gain as much as 35 pounds. Women with vegetarian diets and eating more monounsaturated fat found in olive oil and nuts in early pregnancy are half as likely to gain an unhealthy amount of weight.

If you MUST eat at McDonald's, make healthier choices. Salads, fruits, and sandwich wraps, as opposed to a big Mac and fries is in your best interest.

What's an example of a healthy daily diet for a pregnant woman?

Red

I'm looking for a guideline or example of the perfect day's diet.

Answer
More and more expectant mothers are realizing that getting essential nutrients can be a challenge. Here is a great pregnancy diet plan and tips to make it easier.

Pregnancy can be an especially challenging time for many busy mothers today to get what they need. Working expectant mothers can find it difficult to eat essential nutrients while "on the go." Some might be tempted to stop for fast food rather than cooking an elaborate meal.

Here is a helpful pregnancy diet plan to be sure that you and your baby are getting all of the essential nutrients every day:

Meat/Protein Group - 6 ozs. total per day

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

red meat
poultry - remove skin
fish (see Foods to Avoid)
egg
cooked beans
nuts
peanut butter
(Serving size is one egg, ½ cup cooked beans or 1 ½ T peanut butter or 1 oz of meat.)

Grain Group - 6-11 servings per day

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

whole grain breads
high fiber cereal - look for 5 gm of fiber per serving
whole wheat pasta
oatmeal
whole wheat crackers
brown rice
(Serving size is 1 slice of bread, ½ bagel, 1 oz of cereal, 5-6 whole wheat crackers, 2 ozs cooked pasta or ½ cup of cooked grains)

Vegetable Group - 3-5 servings

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, leaf or romaine lettuce, collards or other greens)
deep yellow vegetables (squash, pumpkin, carrots)
others - tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, green peas, green/yellow beans, broccoli
(Serving size is 1 cup of leafy green vegetable, ½ cup of the others.)

Fruit Group - 2-4 servings

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

citrus - oranges, grapefruit, tangerines
strawberries
melons
mangoes
apples, bananas, peaches
(Serving size is 1 medium apple, orange or banana, ½ diced fruit or ¾ cup of fruit juice.)

Milk Group - 3 or more servings

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

low fat yogurt
hard cheese
milk


1. Make double or triple recipes on the weekend so that you won't be tempted to eat unhealthy food that you can get down faster when you are hungry. One of my family's favorites is smoked turkey, which can easily be smoked on a weekend and then used in sandwiches, salads and casseroles all week.
2. Keep sliced vegetables sealed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for quick, healthy snacking to make part of your pregnancy diet plan.
3. Try making your own trail mix with nuts, seeds and raisins for eating on the go or adding to yogurt or ice cream. If you get the munchies, see information on cravings.
4. A good rule of thumb about eating healthier is simply not to buy junk food or heavily-processed food so it won't be in the house. Empty calories will pack on the calories but not the nutrients you need as part of your pregnancy diet plan.
5. Consider the benefits to you and the baby of eating organic food.

Why is tuna the 'wonder fish'?

healthy sandwich recipes for pregnant women image

L

Just wondering....
(:

Answer
Tuna has it all. That’s why it’s the Wonderfish! It’s officially America’s most popular fish. Tuna is rich in protein, low in saturated fat and calories and a natural source of omega-3s and vitamin D. Good for your heart. Good for your brain. Great for lunch, snacks or dinner. (Check out who agrees here and here).

Did you know…

Americans ate an average of 2.5 pounds of tuna fish per person in 2009.
83% of adults report making tuna fish sandwiches.
56% of adults report potato chips as their favorite side to eat with tuna and 47% report a fruit or vegetable.
Other ways adults who like tuna sandwiches also eat tuna include pasta or casserole dishes (40 percent) or salads (28 percent). Seventeen percent say they eat tuna right out of the can or pouch.
One of the most popular ways tuna lovers eat tuna is with a “crunch.” The most common additions to tuna, beyond mayo (73 percent), include onions (41 percent), lettuce (40 percent), celery (27 percent) or pickle (25 percent).
The most popular kind of canned and pouch tuna? Chunk, light tuna in water. Light tuna (in water and oil) accounts for 68% of annual domestic canned and pouch tuna consumption. Albacore, or white tuna, accounts for the rest.
People eat more tuna in the summertime – nearly 30 percent of tuna eating occasions are during the summer.
A two ounce serving of canned tuna in water contains about a quarter of your daily protein needs for less than 75 calories.
The American Heart Association says eat at least two servings of fish each week. But, only 10% of women meet this goal.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends pregnant and breastfeeding women eat up to 12 ounces – about 2-3 meals – each week of a variety of fish and shellfish, including tuna. As much as half (six ounces) of this fish each week can be albacore tuna.
The word tuna dates back only to 1880, and comes from the Spanish American derivation of the English counterpart, tunny. It’s derived from the Latin Thunnus.
A tuna fish can swim up to 55 miles per hour and is always in motion.
One hungry tuna eats up to ten percent of its body weight daily.
Bluefin tuna – the focus of vigorous conservation efforts – is not used in commercial canned and pouch tuna products. America’s tuna companies support the U.S. and global calls for a moratorium on fishing blue fin in the Mediterranean.
Skipjack tuna stocks, used to make light tuna, are among the healthiest and most carefully managed in the world.
The majority of Albacore stocks are generally healthy and well managed. However, albacore from the north Atlantic requires stronger management measures to return them to a healthier, more sustainable state. Only about 10% of commercial albacore tuna is sourced from these stocks and is done so in compliance with current conservation measures.

Food and Christianity?

Colleen D

Hello, my name is Colleen, and I am a college student in Kansas City, KS. I am doing a project about the role of food in Christianity for my religion class. I was wondering if you all could answer a few of my questions.

1- Do you believe that food plays an important role in your religion?

2- Is fasting practiced in your denomination? What is the significance?

3- Do you have any restraints of food? If so, where do these originate from?

4- Do you have congregational activities that involve food? (example: pancake dinners)

5- What is your name, city, and denomination?
Thank you for answering my questions.
first name only, just for reference purposes.

Answer
1. I would say food is often the means to an end, or it can lead to more friendly relations or can be used to help serve others. For example, if a family is adjusting to having a new baby in the house, or someone is severely ill, the Relief Society will often ask volunteers to bring in meals (the women's group) for a short period of time. (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.)
2. We have Fast Sunday once a month. We are supposed to abstain from food and drink except as health constraints may limit it (for example, if someone is pregnant or else young children) for 24 hours and then donate the money we would have spent on 2 meals as a Fast Offering to help those who have severe financial needs, as part of a welfare system that makes sure no one goes hungry or homeless. Fasting helps you draw closer to God. It can also be used to concentrate faith towards the needs of someone who is ill, or undergoing an operation, or making a hard decision, etc.
3. Word of Wisdom Section 89 of the Doctrine and Covenants explains that we should abstain from strong tea and hot drinks (coffee, or related drinks), alcohol, tobacco, and the like. We should be emphasizing herbs, the fruit of the field (vegetables also), grains (as opposed to flour), and eat meat sparingly. Most of us could probably work on that. My sister-in-law won't eat bacon because of something she read about parasites, but I will eat it, if well-cooked, since I love bacon and tomato sandwiches. The Word of Wisdom was revealed to Joseph Smith because his wife Emma, kept complaining about how the men who visited their home would keep spitting tobacco juice on the floor, which apparently was a nuisance to clean up since it stains, and it couldn't have smelled very good either. Obviously we also stay away from illegal drugs as well. It took a while for the Word of Wisdom to become more than just a "word" and more of a commandment.
4. We Mormons are always having get-togethers with food. The singles wards (for those who aren't married and go) are always having a potluck dinner after Fast Sunday, say 6 pm Sunday. At least it is a common practice. There might be Daddy-Daughter dinners, or dinners with the Relief Society (the women age 18 and up) or for Christmas, etc. We used to have a running joke that it wasn't really a Mormon activity unless you had a green Jell-O salad, especially with grated carrots. Personally I like green Jell-O salad with walnuts, whipped cream, marshmallows and crushed pineapple. Punch and cookies used to be the stand-by for other events, but they've been moving toward healthier finger foods lately at dances. I think the Boy Scouts have a breakfast or dinner activities on occasions, and the young men and young women might have an etiquette dinner every year to practice for more formal occasions. Now I have also seen Mormon quinceaneras with girls who turn 15 and 16 from Latino ancestry, and those are fun, too, in the Spanish wards. Sometimes we just have cooking and recipe sharing activities as well. We have also been told by several prophets and leaders for about the last 30 years to work on food storage in case of emergency, so most families try to do that as well.
5. First name: Crystie (we aren't supposed to give out our whole name here on ask.yahoo), City: Sandy, Utah, Denomination: member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or LDS, or Mormon.

i would like to know how to loose weight and my belly fat from after having a baby?

healthy sandwich recipes for pregnant women image

myheartlov

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN LOOSE MY BELLY FAT I JUST HAD A BABY 9 MONTHS AGO AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE IM 6 MONTHS PREGNANT? I CAN'T LOOSE MY BELLY OR LOOSE WEIGHT PLEASE PLEASE HELP IM 20 YEARS OLD AND I WANNA LOOK SEXY AGAIN?

Answer
Adopt a healthier lifestyle and and you will often lose weight as a bonus. Learn strategies to help you look and feel better!


Calculate your daily energy output kJ. Looks complicated but isn't.

Women [655.1 + (9.56 x weight kilograms)+ (1.85 x height centremetres) - (4.68 x age years)] x 4.2
Men [664.7 + (13.75 x weight kilograms)+ (5 x height centremetres) - (6.76x age years)] x 4.2
Multiply the kJ amount by the following factor depending on your lifestyle: 1.2 = sedentary, 1.375 = lightly active (1-3 days a week exercise), 1.55 = moderately active 3 -5 days exercise or sport, 1.725 = very active hard exercise 6-7 days/week, 1.9 = extremely active hard daily exercise or sport or physical job.


Keep a food journal for a week or two. Write down all that you eat. Include snacks, cups of coffee, etc. - it all adds up. You may be surprised how much you are consuming in between meals.
Use the journal to help understand when it is you might eat foods that are high in kJ and find ways to cut them out and replace those items with healthier choices. For example, if you crave sugar in the afternoon replace sugary snacks with fresh fruit.
Work out what energy you are actually expending daily and find ways to increase your level of activity. You don't necessarily need to join a gym. Simple changes can add up. Try parking as far away from the shops as you can and walk in. Climb the stairs, rather than riding the elevator. Dance while you vacuum. Play actively with the kids instead of just watching TV.
Focus on attaining good health, rather than feeling deprived or "on a diet". Losing weight is frequently the result of living a healthier lifestyle
Try to stick to three meals a day. Breakfast - eg. high fibre cereal with low fat milk, lunch eg. wholemeal sandwich with lean filling OR a salad with no fat dressing, dinner eg. Protein (meat, fish or poultry - all lean cuts and skinless with lots of vegetables or salad and minimal amount (not necessarily no) carbohydrates. Healthy snacks are OK especially if they help you from getting so hungry that you eat foods you shouldn't.

Tips
A possible diet: a bowl of Special K cereal for breakfast, a jelly sandwich with trans-fat free bread and an apple for lunch, salmon and green-beans for dinner. Snacks can include carrots, celery or a banana.
Find snacks that you love that are healthy, such as fresh fruit, raw vegetables, low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese, and be sure to stock them in your pantry. Limit yourself to two snacks each day. If you crave more than two snacks, chomp on a piece of gum for a few hours.
Don't shop when you are hungry. Have a healthy snack and a glass of water before heading to the grocery store.
Increase your daily fibre intake. Pick whole meal bread, and whole grains (bulgar wheat, quinoa).
Try a daily walk. It is a great exercise for weight loss. You can go at your own pace. If you walk with a friend it is mentally uplifting to chat and support each other.
Add strength training to your exercise plan to build lean muscle. While aerobic exercise (like walking) helps burn calories, anaerobic (or strength-building) exercise can help boost your metabolism.
Add one or two extra vegetables to your evening meal that you would usually not eat. Try new recipes with unfamiliar ingredients to keep your eating plan interesting and fun.
Use non stick cookware or barbeque to limit oils and fats.
Go crazy with herbs and strong flavours to make your meals very tasty and satisfying - potentially you'll eat less.
Use a smaller plate.
Clear up left overs before sitting down to avoid second helpings
Drink lots of water 2 litres/day (approx. 64 oz). Drink a glass of water about 20 mins before dinner to help you feel full.
Put your knife and fork down instead of loading it up while you chew. Eating more slowly allows your body to be in time with your brain so that by the time you "feel" full you haven't already over eaten.
Avoid/limit alcohol (3-4 standard drinks/week)- it reduces you ability to lose fat as well as making it harder to resist temptation.
Measure your loss by how your clothes feel on you and only weigh yourself once every couple of weeks. Take your measurements once a month to judge your weight loss in inches as well as pounds.
Find a friend who wants to feel better too and use each other for support.
Listen to slow music while you eat. It's been proven to help you eat slower, which helps you lose weight.
Avoid processed foods. Anything that comes in a package is usually full of fats, sugars and salts. Know what you're eating in advance.

Warnings
You should see a health professional before undertaking any diet or exercise plans.
There is NO safe way to lose weight fast. You should aim for lifestyle changes that support better eating and add some exercise that is suited to you personally, as prescribed by your doctor. Gradual weight loss is better and also tends to be longer lasting in most people.

Fat flush water? Anyone try it?

Vanilla_tw

Recipe:

Water
1 slice grapefruit
1 tangerine
½ cucumber, sliced
2 peppermint leaves
Ice

I know it obviously doesn't "flush fat" (duh)

Has anyone tried it? Did it reduce bloating? Make you feel more energetic? Taste good (it does sound good!)?

What about adding ginger to it?

Thanks

You supposedly drink 3 8ounce glasses a day for ten days straight.

Answer
Sounds like another one to those stupid Dr. Oz recipes…If he’s so good, how come his audience is made out of overweight women who obviously look out of shape…They’re probably too busy listening to him, taking notes about what to eat/drink instead of warming up, stretching, staying in their THR zone and actually start burning fat reserves after 20 minutes…Maybe they should watch him on TV from home while zoning out biking on their stationary bikes.

I remember a show Ellen did when she used a stationary bike the whole show, which is like 40 minutes if you skip the ads, so she probably did a 5 minutes warm up, some stretching for 10 minutes, got up into her THR zone, stayed there for the minimum 20 minutes then cooled down for 5 minutes…She used a low intensity speed so she could still talk to her guests without being out of breathe. Her guests also had to warm up and stretch backstage and use a stationary bike on stage! The only problem I saw with that show is that the audience was still supposed to just sit and watch…she missed a great opportunity to be like Oprah but instead of “you got a car, you got a car, you got a car” (everybody know cars, among other things, is what make Americans fat and Oprah is obese), she could have said “your got a bike, you got a bike, you got a bike” (Ellen is fit) and have a special audience that would have nonchalantly biked with her (being cleared by medical checkups and wearing proper exercise clothes…) like when she has a special audience of pregnant women for mother’s day or a special audience of breast cancer survivors all wearing pink.




As you said, it won’t “flush fat” (so why do they call it “fat flush water” then?? Treating people like they’re stupid?).
Body fat cannot be flushed out like bacteria, water soluble vitamins or minerals.
I can only be used, provided that you eat enough to cover your BMR + growth (if you’re -21yo) and then exercise for 3,500 calories for each pound of fat reserves that you wish to lose.

You could be bloated because you’re about to have your period so accept it as you want a fluider blood to avoid cramps.
You could be bloated because you ate too much salty food and processed commercial food, restaurant food, cans (they use sodium as a conservative) without compensating with diuretics so eat healthier.

Diuretics are drinks like alcohol, tea, coffee, sodas (anything with caffeine), cranberry juice, and food like cucumbers, watermelons, fresh tomatoes, asparagus, artichokes, beets, carrots, lettuce, raw onions, oats, melon, celery, parsley and any veggie from the cabbage family...cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, Chinese broccoli (kay-lan), Chinese cabbage (bok choy), cress, cauliflower, turnips, kale, collard greens, mustard, canola (rapeseed), radish, horseradish, rutabaga, and 20 others...

To avoid dehydration when eating diuretics, you need to compensate the water loss (diuretics) with water retention (sodium).
I will combine cauliflower/ham in a casserole, or a slice of ham with a sandwich containing lettuce, tomato and onion (lettuce/fresh tomato/raw onion are the trifecta of diuretics in a sandwich) or eating sauerkraut with sausages and corned beef with cabbage.



Now, about reducing bloating (when you’re not having your period), water will do that by flushing out the sodium that makes you retain water. Yep…the more water you drink, the more you dehydrate by flushing out your sodium (that’s how you get food poisoning if you drink too much water too fast which is life threatening when you deplete your electrolytes…marathoners should drink sports drinks, not water).

If you don’t like the taste of water (which really, should have no taste, just freshness and thirst quenching coolness) you can filter it, or buy it filtered (some companies use tap water and filter it to Neverland) or buy more expensive pristine source water (different sources have different minerals). If you really cannot find tasteless water, you might add some mint or drops of lemon to it or stop drinking water but start eating high water content food, fruits/veggies, soups…

i would like to know how to loose weight and my belly fat from after having a baby?

healthy sandwich recipes for pregnant women image

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN LOOSE MY BELLY FAT I JUST HAD A BABY 9 MONTHS AGO AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE IM 6 MONTHS PREGNANT? I CAN'T LOOSE MY BELLY OR LOOSE WEIGHT PLEASE PLEASE HELP IM 20 YEARS OLD AND I WANNA LOOK SEXY AGAIN?

Answer
Adopt a healthier lifestyle and and you will often lose weight as a bonus. Learn strategies to help you look and feel better!


Calculate your daily energy output kJ. Looks complicated but isn't.

Women [655.1 + (9.56 x weight kilograms)+ (1.85 x height centremetres) - (4.68 x age years)] x 4.2
Men [664.7 + (13.75 x weight kilograms)+ (5 x height centremetres) - (6.76x age years)] x 4.2
Multiply the kJ amount by the following factor depending on your lifestyle: 1.2 = sedentary, 1.375 = lightly active (1-3 days a week exercise), 1.55 = moderately active 3 -5 days exercise or sport, 1.725 = very active hard exercise 6-7 days/week, 1.9 = extremely active hard daily exercise or sport or physical job.


Keep a food journal for a week or two. Write down all that you eat. Include snacks, cups of coffee, etc. - it all adds up. You may be surprised how much you are consuming in between meals.
Use the journal to help understand when it is you might eat foods that are high in kJ and find ways to cut them out and replace those items with healthier choices. For example, if you crave sugar in the afternoon replace sugary snacks with fresh fruit.
Work out what energy you are actually expending daily and find ways to increase your level of activity. You don't necessarily need to join a gym. Simple changes can add up. Try parking as far away from the shops as you can and walk in. Climb the stairs, rather than riding the elevator. Dance while you vacuum. Play actively with the kids instead of just watching TV.
Focus on attaining good health, rather than feeling deprived or "on a diet". Losing weight is frequently the result of living a healthier lifestyle
Try to stick to three meals a day. Breakfast - eg. high fibre cereal with low fat milk, lunch eg. wholemeal sandwich with lean filling OR a salad with no fat dressing, dinner eg. Protein (meat, fish or poultry - all lean cuts and skinless with lots of vegetables or salad and minimal amount (not necessarily no) carbohydrates. Healthy snacks are OK especially if they help you from getting so hungry that you eat foods you shouldn't.

Tips
A possible diet: a bowl of Special K cereal for breakfast, a jelly sandwich with trans-fat free bread and an apple for lunch, salmon and green-beans for dinner. Snacks can include carrots, celery or a banana.
Find snacks that you love that are healthy, such as fresh fruit, raw vegetables, low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese, and be sure to stock them in your pantry. Limit yourself to two snacks each day. If you crave more than two snacks, chomp on a piece of gum for a few hours.
Don't shop when you are hungry. Have a healthy snack and a glass of water before heading to the grocery store.
Increase your daily fibre intake. Pick whole meal bread, and whole grains (bulgar wheat, quinoa).
Try a daily walk. It is a great exercise for weight loss. You can go at your own pace. If you walk with a friend it is mentally uplifting to chat and support each other.
Add strength training to your exercise plan to build lean muscle. While aerobic exercise (like walking) helps burn calories, anaerobic (or strength-building) exercise can help boost your metabolism.
Add one or two extra vegetables to your evening meal that you would usually not eat. Try new recipes with unfamiliar ingredients to keep your eating plan interesting and fun.
Use non stick cookware or barbeque to limit oils and fats.
Go crazy with herbs and strong flavours to make your meals very tasty and satisfying - potentially you'll eat less.
Use a smaller plate.
Clear up left overs before sitting down to avoid second helpings
Drink lots of water 2 litres/day (approx. 64 oz). Drink a glass of water about 20 mins before dinner to help you feel full.
Put your knife and fork down instead of loading it up while you chew. Eating more slowly allows your body to be in time with your brain so that by the time you "feel" full you haven't already over eaten.
Avoid/limit alcohol (3-4 standard drinks/week)- it reduces you ability to lose fat as well as making it harder to resist temptation.

What's a good diet for me?

Q. Hi I'm recovering from anorexia and I am 14, 5'0 maybe 5'1 and 84 pounds. Yesterday I ate around 1300 calories, I'm not sure but it was a special occasion do we ate unhealthy. But today I HAVE to eat. I usually only ate dinner. A small portion. But my doctors making me eat 3 meals and 2 snacks and I'm scared. :( I want to stay the same weight but I have to eat so any advice what to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner?

A. Hello Ashlee,

Healthy and Easy Meal Ideas

There are various needs of our body with respect to age, illnesses, diets, pregnancies, and other such abnormalities. Thus, you have to make sure your healthy diet includes the right nutrients required by the body facing these situations. If your diet is ignored it can lead to health problems and deficiencies, which could have been prevented. Therefore, if you want yourself and your families to stay away from health issues, make sure you follow some healthy and quick meal ideas to save time and provide basic nutrients.

Breakfast

•Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it has to be healthy. Thus, you can include healthy and inexpensive meal ideas like whole-grain breakfast cereals for fiber intake.
•Dairy products like skimmed milk with the cereals, fruit and dry fruits topping (apple, banana, apricots) are great for the heart.
•Fresh and unsweetened fruit juices and vegetable portions are also a very healthy addition to an early morning breakfast. Make sure you eat a fruit at least once throughout the day.
•Scrambled and poached eggs with whole grain bread, with low-fat butter and oil can be just the ticket for a heathy meal for picky eaters.

Lunch

•For lunch you can have high protein foods like meat preparations and vegetable pastas. Thus for a start low-fat coleslaw, baked beans, or tuna sandwich would be great.
•For a vegetarian sandwich, whole meal bread with fresh vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, onions, cucumber and cheese would do. Add some chicken or tuna to make it a meat sandwich and a creative meal for a pregnant woman is ready!
•A pasta salad with vegetables, carrots, spinach leaves, sweet corn and olive oil dressing sounds yummy.
•Omelets can be great and healthy, as they are quick and nutritious.
•Soups are extremely healthy for individuals of all ages and thus, can be a great option for any and every one.

Dinner

•Well, dinner can either be very light or heavy depending on what you are used to. An option for a light dinner is stir fried meat and vegetable recipes. But even though they are rich protein sources, you have to be careful about their quantities.
•If you are looking for meals to lose weight, salads are the best. Salads with vegetables like onions, broccoli, cabbage, peas, carrots, sweet corn, green beans, mushrooms, water chestnuts, peppers can also make light yet filling vegetarian meal ideas.
•On the other hand, meat salads with the above mentioned vegetables, pickles and pieces of chicken, prawns or beef are delicious as well as heathy.
•Other dinner ideas like lasagna, brown rice with gravies, pizzas (veg and non-veg), pastas, soup recipes, mashed potatoes and peas are also very healthy.
•Including red meat, fish and other sea food in these preparations is always a bonus for healthy food. Lentils, beans and pulses, nuts and dried fruits are also very nutritious.

Take Care, Mama Bear

Original Question

Is this recipe ok for a party I am going to later? Is it bad for baby?

Q. I am going to a cookout this evening and trying to find something somewhat healthy to take so I can have something to eat. I don't want to eat hamburgers or hotdogs so let me know what you think..

Finger sandwiches
6 slices thin cut white bread (recommended: Pepperidge Farm Thin White Sandwich Bread)
1 cup soft, spreadable herb cheese (recommended: Alouette)
8 slices prosciutto di Parma
12 leaves fresh arugula or basil (spicy vs. sweet)
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
Salt
2 radishes, thinly sliced
Toothpicks

If you have any recommendations on recipes, I'd love to know.


I pick best answers =)
When I say "baby" I mean fetus
Would turkey be better than proscuitto?

A. I think that sounds delicious...got some bad news though...lots of soft cheeses aren't allowed while pregnant. And lunch meats have nitrites that are bad for the baby...

See below for a site on foods to avoid. Then just take off what isn't recommended for pregnant women and substitute something that isn't on the list.

And here's a site that covers meal planning for the pregnant lady... http://nutrition.birthingnaturally.net/menu/helps.html
Good luck!! (With your food choices and your sweet baby!)

Original Question

Why is tuna the 'wonder fish'?

Q. Just wondering....
(:

A. Tuna has it all. That’s why it’s the Wonderfish! It’s officially America’s most popular fish. Tuna is rich in protein, low in saturated fat and calories and a natural source of omega-3s and vitamin D. Good for your heart. Good for your brain. Great for lunch, snacks or dinner. (Check out who agrees here and here).

Did you know…

Americans ate an average of 2.5 pounds of tuna fish per person in 2009.
83% of adults report making tuna fish sandwiches.
56% of adults report potato chips as their favorite side to eat with tuna and 47% report a fruit or vegetable.
Other ways adults who like tuna sandwiches also eat tuna include pasta or casserole dishes (40 percent) or salads (28 percent). Seventeen percent say they eat tuna right out of the can or pouch.
One of the most popular ways tuna lovers eat tuna is with a “crunch.” The most common additions to tuna, beyond mayo (73 percent), include onions (41 percent), lettuce (40 percent), celery (27 percent) or pickle (25 percent).
The most popular kind of canned and pouch tuna? Chunk, light tuna in water. Light tuna (in water and oil) accounts for 68% of annual domestic canned and pouch tuna consumption. Albacore, or white tuna, accounts for the rest.
People eat more tuna in the summertime – nearly 30 percent of tuna eating occasions are during the summer.
A two ounce serving of canned tuna in water contains about a quarter of your daily protein needs for less than 75 calories.
The American Heart Association says eat at least two servings of fish each week. But, only 10% of women meet this goal.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends pregnant and breastfeeding women eat up to 12 ounces – about 2-3 meals – each week of a variety of fish and shellfish, including tuna. As much as half (six ounces) of this fish each week can be albacore tuna.
The word tuna dates back only to 1880, and comes from the Spanish American derivation of the English counterpart, tunny. It’s derived from the Latin Thunnus.
A tuna fish can swim up to 55 miles per hour and is always in motion.
One hungry tuna eats up to ten percent of its body weight daily.
Bluefin tuna – the focus of vigorous conservation efforts – is not used in commercial canned and pouch tuna products. America’s tuna companies support the U.S. and global calls for a moratorium on fishing blue fin in the Mediterranean.
Skipjack tuna stocks, used to make light tuna, are among the healthiest and most carefully managed in the world.
The majority of Albacore stocks are generally healthy and well managed. However, albacore from the north Atlantic requires stronger management measures to return them to a healthier, more sustainable state. Only about 10% of commercial albacore tuna is sourced from these stocks and is done so in compliance with current conservation measures.
