Sabi Ni Solenn: Think For Two, NOT Eat For Two

Inumpisahan ni Solenn ang kanyang Baby Diary #1 sa pamamagitan ng isang tanong. Alam na nga ba talaga natin kung anong ibig sabihin ng nutrition at kung paano sisiguraduhing nutritious ang mga kinakain natin lalo na kung buntis tayo?

Sa kanyang blog, sinabi ng first time mom na akala niya ay kung itutuloy-tuloy niya ang nakasanayan na niyang pagkain nitong nakaraang anim na taon ay magiging okay din ang lahat. “I thought that because I’ve been eating healthy and as clean as possible for the past six years, I could just bring in my current eating habits into my pregnancy and things would be all good. But actually being preggo seriously changed all of that,” sabi niya. “During my last ultrasound, I found out from my OB that my baby was too small and that we both needed to catch up nutritionally,” dagdag pa niya.

Aminado ang first-time mom na nag-alala siya at nalito sa nalaman niya. Kilala ang aktres at TV host bilang disiplinado pagdating sa kanyang mga kinakain bago pa man siya naging ina. Sa katunayan, maraming followers ni Solenn ang hanga sa kanyang masasarap at nutritious na recipes.

Marami siyang natutunan sa kanyang pagsasaliksik kung ano nga ba talaga ang isang nutritious diet para sa isang buntis. Una, at isa sa mga pinakaimportanteng natutunan niya ay ang hindi pagkain para sa dalawang tao. “I learned that you aren’t actually supposed to eat for two. Depending on how much she weighs, a pregnant woman only needs to add an average of 400 calories on her regular diet,” pagdedetalye niya. “While you aren’t suppose to eat for two, you definitely need to THINK for two,” dagdag pa niya.

Marami ang nagbabago sa katawan mo kapag buntis ka. Ibig sabihin nito, nagbabago rin ang iyong nutritional needs. Ayon kay Solenn, ang isang regular na healthy diet ay binubuo ng walong baso ng tubig, tatlong servings ng karne at isda, dalawang servings ng gulay at prutas, at lima hanggang pitong servings ng good carbohydrates o grains. Kapag buntis ka, kailangan mo itong dagdagan ng kalahating serving ng dairy o isang baso ng gatas, isa pang serving ng gulay at isa pang serving ng carbohydrates. 

Ibinahagi rin ni Solenn na kinailangan niyang gawin ang 3,000 calorie diet sa isang araw. “I was definitely not used to it, and at one point, I had such a hard time that I would just cry while eating,” pagbabahagi niya. “That’s why, if you’re planning to get pregnant, it’s important to understand all your nutritional needs and your baby’s right from the start, so you can eat as properly as possible, hopefully without needing to “catch up” like I am now,” dagdag pa niya. 

Nagkaroon din ng pagkakataon si Solenn na lumipad sa Amsterdam sa tulong ng Aptamom, isang cereal bar para sa mga buntis, para bisitahin ang Nutricia, isang kumpanyang naniniwala sa kahalagahan ng tamang nutrisyon ng ina at sanggol. Ang pagkakataong ito ang nagbukas ng mata ni Solenn pagdating sa tamang paraan ng pagkain lalo na ngayong buntis siya.
