• DAY TWO - All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large boiled potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.
• DAY THREE - A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

• DAY FIVE -  Today is a feast day. You will eat sprouts and paneer and tomatoes. Eat 280 grams of sprouts and paneer. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

 Healthy diet for pregnant women:-   While you do not need to "eat for two" in terms of the amount of food you consume, you do need to make smart choices to benefit both you and your baby. If you ate healthy before you got pregnant, you will not need to alter your diet by much. If  you were not the healthiest eater before your pregnancy, it is not too late to make some changes now to make sure your fetus gets all of the nutrients necessary to develop into a healthy baby. 

To ensure that you eat a healthy diet during your pregnancy, you can follow the Food Guide Pyramid for Pregnant Women. It is recommended that you eat 6-11 servings of bread, rice, pasta, and other whole grain  products every day. Eat 3-5 vegetables a day to help get the right amount of vitamins and minerals. Also, you should be having 2-4 servings of fruit each day. Try to eat 3 servings of high protein foods, such as beans, meat, tofu, and nuts. To get enough calcium and other important nutrients, have 3-4 servings of dairy products. Fats, oils, and sweets should be eaten sparingly. 
  

                                                        

  The "food pyramid" for pregnant women :  Eat more of the foods on the bottom;  breads, cereals and grains, lots of  fruits &vegetables as well as  additional dairy and iron.  Eat less sugary foods,  fats and meats  found at  the top !

Serving sizes vary for different types of food. The following table shows what counts as a serving for foods from each food group.

Bread, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta Groups	Vegetable Group	Fruit Group	Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese Group	Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nuts Group	Fats, Oils, and Sweets Group
1 slice of bread   1 tortilla   1/2 bagel   3/4 cup plain crackers   1/2 English muffin   1/2 hamburger roll    1/2 cup cooked rice, pasta, or cereal   1 ounce ready-to-eat cereal	1/2 cup chopped raw or cooked vegetables   1 cup raw, leafy vegetables   3/4 cup vegetable juice   10 French fries	1 piece of fruit (medium)   3/4 cup fruit juice   1/2 cup chopped fruit   1/4 cup dried fruit	1 cup milk   1 cup yogurt   1 1/2 ounces natural cheese   2 ounces processed  cheese   1 cup frozen yogurt   1 1/2 cups ice cream	2 1/2 to 3 ounces cooked meat, poultry, or fish   1 1/2 cup cooked beans   2-3 eggs	use sparingly

By taking your prenatal vitamins and following the Food Guide Pyramid for Pregnant Women, you will satisfy all of your nutritional and caloric requirements. The table below displays what your requirements are and why they are necessary. 

Daily Pregnancy Requirement	Why You and Your Baby Need this Nutrient/Food	Food Sources for this Requirement
2500 calories (*see below)	provides energy for the fetus to develop	all foods and drinks (except water)  avoid foods and drinks with "empty" calories (little or no nutritional value) like pop, sweets, and coffee
60 grams of protein	helps fetal tissue to grow helps develop your breasts and uterus increases blood supply aids the growth and development of the placenta maximizes fetal brain development	milk cheese eggs meat, fish, and poultry beans nuts
1200 mg of calcium	helps the development and formation of the fetal skeleton aids the development of the baby's tooth buds	milk yogurt cheese whole grains leafy vegetables egg yolk
2 servings of vitamin C rich foods	heals wounds repairs tissues develops teeth and bones assists various other maternal and fetal metabolic processes	citrus fruits and juices tomatoes strawberries melons peppers potatoes
400 mg of folic acid	significantly decreases the risk of your baby being born with neural tube defects like spina bifida	dark green leafy vegetables citrus fruits and juices fortified breads and cereals whole grains liver dried beans and peas
8 glasses of fluids	helps build the fetus's cells develops the circulatory system helps deliver nutrients to the fetus assists with the excretion of wastes helps prevent dry skin reduces risk of urinary tract infection	water  fruit juice  vegetable juice
30 mg of iron	increases maternal blood volume prevents anemia	green leafy vegetables fortified breads and cereals meat, fish, and poultry beans nuts eggs

*2500 calories is the recommended daily caloric intake for active women.  It is also the recommended intake for women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy (the last 6 months).  If you are unsure what your caloric intake should be, relative to your activity level, be sure to speak to your health care provider about what's right for you.
The Weight you should Gain:-Eating for two does not mean eating twice the amount of food you ate before you got pregnant. In general, a woman should consume an extra 300 calories per day during the last six months of pregnancy. This usually works out to about 2500 calories a day, since an average active, non-pregnant woman should have about 2200 calories daily. Every woman is unique and your caloric needs may be slightly different due to your pre-pregnancy weight, you activity level, and the number of fetuses you are carrying. 

Your health care provider will likely suggest the number of pounds you should gain during this pregnancy. The general recommendations are: 
 

You should gain weight gradually throughout your pregnancy. All women gain weight at different rates during pregnancy, but there are general recommendations. During the first trimester, you should gain about 2-5 pounds. Then, during the second and third trimesters, expect to gain about a pound a week. 

Gaining the proper amount of weight is very important. Your baby depends on adequate nutrition to grow and develop properly. Babies who are born premature and/or with low birth weight are at risk for a large number of negative health outcomes, including death. Excessive weight gain is also unhealthy for you. 

Vegetarian or vegan:

                            Vegetarian and vegan women have a variety of options to fulfill their nutrient needs. You can follow the food guide pyramid and substitute plant-based foods for items in the "meat" category (beans, nuts, tofu, tempeh) and in the "dairy category" (broccoli, greens, seeds, soy milk, soy cheese). You may want to make sure you are getting enough vitamin B-12 (an important vitamin found in animal products) if you are vegan. Many cereals have been fortified with vitamin B-12. You can take a supplement to make sure you are getting enough. Be sure to tell your health care provider that you are vegetarian or vegan so that he or she can prescribe the best prenatal vitamin for your needs. 

Alcohol: Researchers have not been able to determine a risk-free level of alcohol intake during pregnancy. It is best to not drink any alcohol during your pregnancy to be sure your baby will not develop Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), the most common cause of mental retardation in babies. Babies with FAS have permanent mental retardation and behavioral problems. If you have been drinking during your pregnancy, it is not too late to quit. Talk with your health care provider if you need help with quitting. 

"Empty" calories: Food and drinks which have little or no nutritional value should be consumed in limited amounts. These include pop, candy, and other items high in sugar. Eating too many "empty calories" instead of nutritious foods will lead to unnecessary weight gain and will not contribute to your baby's development. 

Fish: Large fish may be contaminated with mercury so you should avoid swordfish, shark, and marlin and limit the amount of tuna you eat to no more than 1/2 pound per week. Freshwater fish may be contaminated with pesticides and other toxins. Because these toxins usually accumulate in fat, stick with low-fat fish and trim the fat off the fish you eat. 

Soft, unpasteurized cheese: This type of cheese (for example, Brie or Camembert) can harbor bacteria and are best avoided during your pregnancy. 

Raw eggs: Avoid foods with raw eggs such as cookie or pancake batter, Caesar salad dressing, and homemade eggnog, to decrease your exposure to bacteria. 

Undercooked or raw meat: It is wise to steer clear from meat, poultry, and fish that has not been thoroughly cooked, so that you and your fetus are not exposed to harmful bacteria.
