I'm feeling a lot better now that my diet has been altered. I had an appointment with the midwife yesterday and she also happens to be a Naturopath. We went through my 5 day food log, to see if there was a reason for my drastic "up and downs". It seems that my body behaves like a diabetic (even though I am not) while pregnant, so we're trying out a new regime. So far so good. Low Glysemic is the new word this week.
This weeks key word: JUICING
I have been juicing most of my vegetables this week, since I haven't had the appetite to chew them. The juices have been so yummy!
This week I have taken away: SUGAR in almost every form.
I'm eating less dried fruit and high fructose fruits just to see how my body reacts to it.
I'm feeling: BETTER. I am cutting out the Diclectin nausea meds slowly. Let's hope the nausea stays away.
I'm adding: EXERCISE and HEMP PROTEIN.
Since I'm not feeling that nauseous, dumbells are on the horizon. Soon. Because of my meat aversions, I will add the hemp protein to my smoothies.
Recipe of the week:
PICK-ME-UPPER POWER JUICE

- 1/2 cucumber
