[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1979791, member: 355878"] Both times I had successful pregnancies I was being asked if I was sure of my dates, and if there are twins in the family - both babies were over 9lb - but I was eating low carb foods - if I'd been following the list which bulkbiker posted I'd have been in trouble - I know because I was found out and threatened with being taken into hospital and 'fed properly' if I did not eat carbs - result was pre eclampsia - but I suspect that my inability to deal with carbs goes right back to my early 20s and only a lot of exercise and avoiding carb dense foods put off diagnosis until I was 65. I really can't see why eating freely of fresh veges and lower carb foods is not second on the list - foods full of vitamins and minerals rather than unadorned starch - it simply doesn't make sense to recommend nutrient poor foods. Fresh (or frozen) veges, berries and low carb fruits are just pure unadulterated nutrition - and some protein and fats to build body and brain - the nervous system is a complicated, intricate structure, fats are needed to make it. Lean protein? Why? [/QUOTE]
