Can any of you lovely ladies with GD give me some inspiration for GD foods? I am so bored with bacon and eggs, nuts and cheese etc

Avocado, fruit, chicken, steak, veg. Most foods are fine for GD. Just avoid bread, lots of potatoes. Basmati rice is good too just watch the portion size. Sunday roasts have been fine for me. I had a 7 course tasting menu the other night did a 20minute walk when finished and my bloods were fine.

If you just load up on veggies instead its not too bad. There is also a gestational diabetes recipe book on amazon. A friend got it for me. That has some delicious recipes in. PM if you like and I can send you a couple of the ones I've tried.

I'm off chicken and steak had a yummy roast yesterday with a mountain of veg but am struggling to eat that too. I tend to have avocado either with egg/bacon for breakfast or salad at lunch.

Will pm you - thank you.

Have you found the gestational diabetes UK website and Facebook group? Both very useful!
