During pregnancy, women need to supplement their fetus with various nutrients and regulate it through dietary therapy, so weight gain is normal. If their weight gain is too fast or too much, it will affect the health of the pregnant woman. So how to control rapid weight gain in early pregnancy?
1. Regularly measure weight. During pregnancy, pregnant women should prepare a weight measuring device and regularly measure their own weight to keep track of their weight changes at all times.
2. Eat regularly and chew slowly. During pregnancy, you should eat on time and in moderation, and not eat as much as you want. When eating at the same time, one should chew carefully and swallow slowly. Eating too quickly not only increases the burden on the stomach, but also hinders the digestion of food.
3. Avoid snacking and late night snacks. As a pregnant woman, I have a heavy weight load and require a lot of energy. However, it is best not to eat a large amount of snacks and late night snacks. Many obesity cases are caused by snacks and late night snacks, especially around 2 hours before bedtime, when snacking can accumulate fat.
4. Eat with a small bowl or plate. Many pregnant women have poor self-control and find it difficult to resist temptation when faced with a large amount of delicious food. It is best to replace bowls and plates with smaller ones, which makes it easier to control the amount of food.
5. Don't eat any food that you can't finish. Many people have the good habit of frugality. When they are full and see that there is still food left, they will finish it all. It is best to give up this habit during pregnancy. Although it saves food, it will increase weight.
6. Eat more fresh green vegetables. Fresh green vegetables are rich in vitamins, calcium, iron, and fiber. Pregnant women should eat more green vegetables, which not only benefits nutrient absorption but also prevents constipation.
7. Avoid eating greasy food. During pregnancy, it is best not to eat too much greasy food, sugar, candy, alcoholic beverages, etc. We should eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins.
In summary, controlling weight during pregnancy is very important. Only by keeping your mouth shut can you allow your pregnancy weight to increase within a reasonable range, which is not only beneficial for the health of the fetus, but also very beneficial for the physical health of pregnant women.
