Healthy One-Pot Recipe For Your Pregnancy Diet - Chicken Veggie Lentil Stew - Michelle Marie Fit (2024)

Healthy One-Pot Recipe For Your Pregnancy Diet- Veggie Lentil Stew

It’s crazy but most pregnant women don’t really enjoy eating protein during pregnancy.

Most of them actually “crave” carbs.

Craving Carbs?

Have you been craving carbs during your pregnancy?

I had a few weeks in the first trimester of both my pregnancies that I didn’t really want to eat any protein. Actually, I didn’t even want to look at it.

Thank goodness it only lasted a few weeks. Because PROTEIN is a nutrient, which means its essential to life and because I know the importance of it, I wanted to make sure my baby was getting enough of it.

I actually gave a bunch of tips on Healthy Options When You Have Protein Aversions. You should really check that out because it will really help you.

I bet your doctor hasn’t told you how important protein is huh?

I bet you that because my doctors never did and I work with literally thousands of pregnant women on a daily basis who do my Pregnancy Workout Programs and they are never informed anything about the importance of healthy eating during pregnancy.

For example, are you eating for 2?

Because that is a sure fire way to gain excess weight, be super uncomfortable all pregnancy, get more aches and pains, have a slower delivery and take way longer to lose the baby weight which increases chances of postpartum depression.

And you wonder why doctors don’t educate us more on Pregnancy Diet.

So make sure you read this on Eating For 2 During Pregnancy.

It will help you tons.

It really aggregates me that doctors don’t educate pregnant women enough about nutrition because it is so crucial.Not only does it affect you, but it affects the baby as well.

A Healthy Recipe For Your Pregnancy Diet

During my pregnancies I made sure to make meals that were healthy, comforting and satisfying.

On those weeks that I was having major protein aversions, I would make recipes like this. This is like a stew and it is delicious and full of good nutrition for you and the baby. I think you are going to love it!

Here is a list of some Healthy Carbs that you can make sure to add in your pregnancy diet that are good and good for you.

For thisyummy stew recipe, I just threw everything I found in a pot and ended up with this crazy good stew.

And the best part of it is that even though it was full of veggies, both my boys ate it all up and liked it.

So its definitely a winner.

The best part about this stew is that you can adjust it however you would like.

You can use the vegetables thatYOUand yourFAMILYlike. Also, I added plentyGOOD CARBSsince they are so important for you to have during pregnancy.

But you can adapt this if you want to make it lower carbs.

Here are the carbs in the recipe so that you can decide if you want to keep them in there or not. Keep in mind that all of these are healthy.

• Quinoa

• Sweet Potato

• Lentils

• Tomatoes

When you have good options and recipes to choose from its a lot easier to eat healthy and trust me, you want to do everything possible to eat healthy during your pregnancy. It’s so not worth it to pig out and gain a ton of weight because then not only do you have a harder time with labor and delivery but you also have an incredibly tough time losing the baby weight.

I talk to women all the time who have been trying to lose the baby weight for YEARS.

That’s crazy.

Don’t let that happen when you can invest such little time and see such good results.

I lost all my baby weight in less than 3 weeks, not because I’m special, but because I put in the work, and if YOU do, you will get amazing results as well.

So many of the ladies inmy Fit Mom-To-Be Workoutshave gotten get similar results.

Now that I have worked with almost 200K pregnant women in the last 10 years, and have heard testimonial over life change over results from regular non avid exerciser women…. I know that it works.

Most doctorsdon’t talk enough about the benefits of exercise and a good diet during pregnancy and that is partially the problem why most women gain excess weight during pregnancy.

Did you know that exercising during pregnancy is not just good for you?

Its actually super beneficial for the baby too.

So my advise to you is to exercise a few times a week and make good food choices.

Don’t make this about pigging out and eating for 2 and being inactive just because you are pregnant.

On the contrary, you should be doing everything possible to do everything you can to create the best environment for your baby to grow in. And also make it easier on you postpartum, because the REGRETS come after….. When the postpartum depression sets and your baby is 6 months but you still look 6 months pregnant and you feel terrible about yourself.

It’s so not worth it. Take it from me, I talk to pregnant women everyday and I have heard all the regrets.

I have also heard all the amazing testimonies from women that do my Fit Mom-To-Be Workouts that get amazing results and have great pregnancies and lose all their weight super fast post pregnancy.

Anyhow, I hope this motivates you to get active or stay active!
