• Choose a variety of foods from each of the different food groups to make sure you’re getting a good balance.
• Ask your doctor about extra supplements if you’re worried you’re not eating from a particular food group.
• Have 3 regular meals and 2 to 3 light snacks a day.
• Include generous helpings of fruits and vegetables, wholegrain cereals and beans to increase your fibre intake.
• Drink water regularly – at least 8 glasses a day.
• Include other drinks in your diet such as low-fat milk, fresh fruit juices and soup.
• Eat one portion of oily fish and one portion of white fish each week (but avoid shark, swordfish and marlin).
• Use vegetable oils such as corn, olive and sunflower oil in your cooking, but use them sparingly.
• Limit your intake of processed and preserved foods as they usually contain high levels of salt.
• Reduce your caffeine intake to no more than 4 cups a day.
• Limit your intake of sweets, crisps, cakes, biscuits, fats, oils, and sugar. These all provide extra calories but not much of the nutritional value that you and your child need. Over-indulging now means it will be harder to regain your pre-pregnancy figure afterwards, so try to resist dipping into the biscuit tin too often!

Hi,
Vegetables are also good and you should eat them a lot. I know it sounds disgusting diet but believe me if they are cooked the right way they are the best tasting thing your ever going to eat. Try sparris or lettuce. A nice thing to do is to mix a little salt, lemon and lettuce in a bowl and eat it as a sidedish. Try looking for healthy recipes on the internet.
