. The object of this technique is to prevent your body’s metabolism from slowing down. The natural course of events is for your metabolism to slow as you diet and begin eating less and less. This is because the human body is meant to hold some fat in storage for future use.

It’s an old belief that you should be eating for two when you are pregnant. Pregnancy is absolutely no excuse for you to gorge on food. The essence of the adage is that you should eat for two in terms of the amount of required nutrients you’re passing on to your child. Zinc and calcium intake should increase by 50%, and folic acid and iron intake should be doubled. A healthy pregnant diet differs from a non-pregnant woman’s diet in that a pregnant woman is required to increase her intake by as much as 150 calories during the first trimester, and up to 250-300 calories beginning every day thereafter.
