The wedding diet plan for gestational diabetes uniquely supports stable energy levels throughout the day, which is crucial for expectant brides. This diet's emphasis on balanced meals helps maintain steady blood sugar, reducing the risk of energy dips and spikes. It can also support healthy weight management during pregnancy, benefiting both mother and baby. Additionally, it promotes a healthy balance of nutrients essential for fetal development and maternal well-being.
Opt for cost-effective, high-fiber foods such as oats and lentils to help manage blood sugar levels. Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season or choose frozen options to save money. Purchase proteins like chicken and fish in bulk and freeze portions to extend their shelf life.
