Expert Q&A
Question:
I am always trying a new diet. Is it OK to continue while expecting?
Answer:

As you gain weight during pregnancy, it's tempting to continue dieting. Don't do it. Nourishing a healthy, growing baby is your responsibility, and an imbalanced diet is a bad idea. So forget the high carbohydrates/low-fat diet or the high fat/no carbohydrate diet or the liquid diet or the supplements. You need at least three balanced meals a day. And the healthier they are, the healthier your weight will be – long term.
