We all know about the four/five major food groups. Pregnant women should eat from those basic food groups each day. The difference between a non-pregnant woman and a pregnant woman's diet is only 300 calories!! Yep---only 100-300 calories per day. Yet, pregnant women are programmed to overeat. If you eat from the major food groups, a keep your diet balanced with about 30 minutes of exercise, a quart of skimmed milk per day with 2 quarts of water per day, you should be fine. Take care!

I am currently trying to eat healthier, exercise and lose weight prior to getting pregnant. I am an obese woman and my doctor advised I should try to gain no weight during my pregnancy. I'm curious, is there anywhere I can find out what these women in your study were eating, food recommendations, etc? Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing it here. I am hoping I can also find your original scientific study on-line?
