Lately I've been getting a lot of requests for an article on pregnancy diet. And last night when I was eating my dinner I thought of THE BEST pregnancy diet tip – namely, to teach people HOW to eat. So much of the pregnancy diet information out there tells people WHAT to eat, but nowhere does anyone ever take the time to explain HOW to eat (hence all of the disordered eating out there!). Well, here it is and it's pretty simple: aim for COLOR! The color of your food is a good indicator of its nutritional value. Looking back at your dinner last night, what color was your plate? Did it have any green or orange? Or was it mainly white and brown? For many years nutritionists have been promoting green as the best food to eat. While you should certainly load up on those dark leafy greens, it's an even better idea to create a rainbow of colors on your plate. Go for green, orange, red, yellow - and the darker the color the better! So where do you find all of those vibrant, rich colors to add to your diet? Well, you guessed right - from fruits and vegetables! Aim for an assortment of lettuce, carrots, beats, sprouts, broccoli, spinach, yams, sweet potatoes, radishes, green beans, peas and so on. In terms of fruit, there are lots of great colors in berries, oranges, apples, melons, apricots, and peaches. So, next time you're in a grocery store (or better yet, near a local farm), try my quick and easy pregnancy diet tip - pick up an assortment of different colors for your fruits and vegetables. You can even make a game out of it - try one new color every week!
