But how well do you think you do?

I used to have a very unhealthy diet, and I recently got told that I may end up with diabetes if i didn't control it. So i went to the dietitian, who gave me some very valuable tips.

1. Do not eat more than 30 grams of carbs or sugars in a 2 hour period.
2. eat more veggies such as tomatoes, cabbages, cucumbers.
3. lean meats are very good too.
4. drink lots of water
5 exercise at least 30 mins a day.

Hi

My diet seems to be getting worse - we eat as a family most evenings which is great but because I have been used to eating a meal after 8pm I now snack!!!

I know I need to stop it but I can't.

I also know I should eat fruit instead of crisps but is that really a fair comparison

The title of this post made me LOL !!

My diet is - not as good as it should be !!!

Im gonna be honest and tell ya that if it wasnt for my g/f and her family i prob wouldnt eat as good as i do !

Its so easy to snack during the day on "easy to buy" snacks ... rather than fruit etc.

altho, i think im going to make a concious effort to start doing so ...

Mine's excellent - jaffa cakes and garibaldis make up part of my five fruit aday

Seriously, I try to eat a bit healthier than I used to, but I do lapse often, especially at night. We do have dogs though, so at least I'm walking at least once a day (my wife does the other dog walk) which is better than I used to.

Drink more water, fruits, fibrous diet, lessen salt/sugar intake (for foods), wine, etc. These are very important for our health. But in addition to those, I would like to suggest that having a regular exercise and proper sleeping hours would also contribute to have a balance and healthy lifestyle.

I used to eat pretty healthily because the wife used to do the cooking and made me eat veggies, when I was single some 8 years ago I used to cook for myself or go hungry. I got abit de skilled at cooking and haven't cooked for quite some time.
Since my wife became preganant she hasn't been able to cook or eat much so I have taken the opportunity to eat out which is not good.
Anyone have any idea where I can get advice or give me tips on cooking reasonably healthily and in a way that might get the wife to eat as well please?

Cheers

Dependant on the stage of pregnancy your wife might not feel like eating much of anything, this will change - nature has a wonderful way of providing for the young ones.

The BBC has a really good recipe finder for most store cupboard items and some really good food ideas, have a look.

Hopefully she feels better soon and by example you can lead the healthy eating program

Let us know how you get on and how the pregnancy is progressing.
