Since almost the start of this pregnancy I've been on a raw food diet. Well, mostly anyway. It started with raw veggies, nuts, and fruits being the only things I can keep down. Then, I was able to eat cooked foods and meats again but quickly found that I didn't like how I felt with them after having been totally raw. But, going back has been difficult.
I'm now mostly raw. Occasonally I have days where I eat a lot of cooked foods, but I also have days where I don't eat any. I'm basically trying to follow my body's cues. Lately, my body has been telling me to dump the majority of the veggies and all the animal products and just go fruit and nuts. I want to follow my body but I'm so concerned about nutrition (started my 7th month of pregnancy). So, it's hard.
To be honest, the idea of a fruitarian diet has really appealed to me since I started researching about raw food lifestyles. One of the reasons it's been so hard is that veggies don't satisfy me, but fruits and nuts do. But, since I've been trying to be mostly veg I find myself pigging out on things like bread and pasta. *sigh*
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone was fruitarian durring their pregnancies? Do you have any advice? I find so much conflicting information on the internet that I want to scream. lol I figure it would be best to hear stuff from those who live/lived it.
