Dr. Oz's Ultimate Health Challange

I'm going to try this!

I know they say don't diet when you are pregnant, well this isn't a diet. It is called eating more healthy, which is what you should do when pregnant :)

I worry that losing the baby weight after # 3 is going to be harder, so I am going to start now at getting ready to eat better! I wouldn't say I am a unhealthy eater per se, but I do have my fair share of candy and french fries! I also think it will help me feel more energetic!

So if you are interested in doing it with me, here are the guidelines. http://www.doctoroz.com/challenge/dr-ozs-ultimate-health-challenge

Eat 3 main meals a day.
Each meal must have protein, fiber, and whole grains
Protein: lean meat and fish
Fiber: peas, beans, fruits, vegetables, potato skins, whole grain foods and flax seed
Whole grains: brown rice, oatmeal, popcorn, whole-wheat bread, pasta, crackers and wild rice

Take a multi-vitamin every day, once a day.
You can have 3 healthy snacks a day (morning, afternoon and evening.)
Some examples of healthy snacks are: apples, almonds, walnuts, edamame, vegetables, low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese. You may have dessert every other day – but that means no evening snack!

The kitchen closes at 8pm. No exceptions!
Avoid the following foods: added sugar, simple carbohydrates, fructose, trans fats, saturated fats, any flour that is not 100% whole grain or 100% whole wheat.

The workouts wont be as intense since I am pregnant, but I could do more than I currently am!
