7 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes, and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.
What would you say are the four things that moms should eliminate from their diet pre or during pregnancy?
All the known toxic ones.
So cigarettes, alcohol, as much as you can, drugs.
I mean, all the stuff that your doctor will tell you.
Those are the real ones to eliminate.
When it comes to things like sugar, for example, we all have sugar cravings during pregnancy.
And in fact, some studies done on animals are suggesting that during pregnancy,
your brain gets more pleasure from sugar than when you're not pregnant.
So it intensifies sugar cravings.
And of course, would it be better to have zero sugar during pregnancy?
Of course.
Is that realistic?
Absolutely not.
So it's about eating sugar in a way that creates less impact.
And apart from that, really, do you need to eliminate anything else?
No, I think anything can be part of your pregnancy diet.
But if you have these four key pillars in, you're going to have a really good baseline.
Is there an issue with pregnant women who say, well, you know what,
I'm craving this, and I'm just going to eat as much as I want until I stop craving?
