| Do you have Phantom Hunger? Hi , Do you feel your appetite is out of control? If you answered YES, you're not alone. In fact many pregnant women feel an uncontrollable hunger (myself included!). But did you also know that this hunger is NOT always REAL hunger? Yep, you read it right! Often it's phantom hunger, meaning it’s NOT real.
Although it feels like hunger, and that you need food, it’s really FLUID that your body is after! That’s right, you're thirsty, but misinterpret it as hunger!
I find that the fact that we've lost touch with our hunger and our thirst one of the KEY contributing factors to UNNECESSARY weight gain during pregnancy.
So the next time you feel hungry, ask yourself if you're hungry OR thirsty? Keep in mind that MOST OF US do NOT drink enough in a day! On average, the body uses about 12 glasses of water every day, so you need to replace it with at least 8 glasses of good quality water daily!!
Click here for a 30-DAY TRIAL of my popular food & exercise program designed specifically for pregnant and post-pregnant moms. Other good fluids are fruit or vegetable juice and/or herbal tea (refer to my Pregnancy Without Pounds e-book to learn which teas are SAFE for pregnancy).
Be cautious of fruit juice because of the high sugar concentration. You can either water it down OR do what I LOVE to do, sparkling mineral water with a splash of freshly squeezed lemon, orange or even a bit of your favorite fruit juice.
Here are 4 Great Tips to help YOU Stay Hydrated 1. Always carry a bottle of water around with you (in your car, at your desk, etc…) and sip it throughout the day that way - you’ll be much more likely to drink and get your quota. 2. UP your daily water intake (more than 8 glasses) if you exercise, drink caffeine or if the weather's hot. 3. Drink between meals and not WITH your food (water dilutes the digestive juices and slows the absorption of nutrients). 4. And finally, add a squeeze of lemon to give your water a fresher taste – that is if you don’t like the taste of water (lemon will also act to increase your metabolism - yippee!).
