I put on 6kg when pregnant (and DD was almost 4kg LOL). I was overweight before I got pregnant and although I didn't go on a diet I obviously majorly cut down on alcohol AND watched my portion sizes. I was generally a pretty healthy eater beforehand anyway, I was just eating way too much. So although everyone says don't go on a diet, one person's diet is just normal, healthy eating for others.

In terms of what to eat, well I don't think you can go past the lots of fruit and veggies option and there's nothing wrong with meat and three veg for dinner as your staple. Limit anything fried and fatty but don't do faddy no carbs diets, there's no need.

Happy to say I'm now 6kg LESS than when I got pregnant.
