You should eat a high protein diet whether you work out or not.  A high protein diet consists of unlimited meat, poultry, fish seafood, eggs, fat and limited nuts, avocado and yellow cheese.  To that you add small serves of leafy greens and green vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and snow peas.  For dessert eat berries with whipped cream or pancakes made from eggs beaten with dash of cream and Splenda to taste. (sugar substitute).

Always be cautious with fruits (except berries) and vegetables (except greens)   All fruit and vegetables are 100% carbs food.  So choose carefully and limit the serves.

Here is the definitive answer to; what is protein.  Protein is the stuff your body uses to build and mend your bones, skin, muscles, tissue and organs.  Without proteins food you don’t live.

What are carbohydrates?  All carbs food, whether it is a slice of bread, a lettuce leaf or a spoon of cereal, are all treated the same way by your body.  They are broken down and turned into glucose.  What is glucose?  It is liquid sugar and it is the fuel your body uses to burn when you need to spend energy.  In today’s diet we are taught that many carbohydrates are a health food.  Natural, unprocessed carbs food do possess certain nutrients, but those nutrients cannot survive the period between their harvest and the time they reach your dinner table.  Unless you live on a food producing farm, by the time you eat your carbs food, all they can do is provide you with fuel.

Compared to what was a normal lifestyle in the past.  Today’s normal lifestyle requires very little energy.  Yet most of us eat a diet dominated by carbs food.  The body has no way to store all the glucose it makes and doesn’t use.   All it can do is store it as body fat.  What is body fat?  It is the fat that sticks to your tummy, thighs and hips.  It clogs your arteries and forms a layer of fat around your vital organs.  This is very different to the fat you eat.  Edible fat is an essential part of your body’s requirement for a healthy protein diet.  It needs to be an important part of the proteins food you eat.

You raise a number of issues.  First, you do not want to eat lean meat.  You need some fat.  The fat you eat is very different to the fat that ends up on your body.  That fat is called body fat.  It is made from the carbohydrates foods you eat.  When you consider that only proteins food can build our bones skin muscles tissue and organs.  Surely that should clarify why your baby needs you to be on a high protein diet.  What your bady doesn’t need is a mom who carries a lot of body fat. That’s the fat manufactured by your body from all the carbs food you eat.   Take a look in the local school yard.  You’ll see all the poor little fat kids whose’s mom’s feed them lots of cereals and other carbs food.  Don’t  let your baby grow up to be one of them.

Carbs food = not only fat on your body, but on your baby’s body as well.  Do what your doctor says and eat a low carbs, high protein diet.  There’s a good chance then that both you and your baby will become fit and healthy.

GOOD LUCK, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON BABY

Proteins food and carbs food are two completely different foods and your body treats them accordingly.  Our body is a food processing machine.  It produces two products. Energy and fuel.

Carbohydrates foods are converted to glucose [liquid sugar] which is the fuel your body uses when you exercise.  If insufficient carbs food is present, when you exercise, your body will draw on  proteins food to give you the glucose you need for fuel.  What that means is we can exist without carbs food.  We have done so many times throughout human history.   But we cannot exist without proteins food.

That’s because proteins food builds and mends our bones, muscles, tissue, skin, and organs.  In other works:  Protein foods give us life’s energy.  Carbs food can help us spend it – but only if we already have enough energy to do so.
