One of the smartest choices you can make, is to improve your diet. It does require, however, some work on your part. One of the toughest things to do, after you make this life altering decision, is to figure out how you can improve your diet.
If you are pregnant or breast feeding it is especially important to have a nutritious diet. Pregnant women require a lot of protein in their diets, which can be difficult if they are experiencing morning sickness and have a lowered appetite. Make your morning shake with some egg whites blended in! Each egg white has three grams of protein and no fat, so they are a great way to get protein while pregnant. Always make sure to check with your physician before doing this, and only consume pasturized eggs. This can help you to avoid potentially harming your fetus.
For better health, bring your own lunch to school or work. If you bring your own meal and snacks, you will be less tempted by fast food and other unhealthy options. Just spend a few minutes in the kitchen, and you can create several meal options.
