Nourish yourself well, nourish your pregnancy
Today, we're revisiting the latest Kallisto Club Live with Morgane Lambaux , a dietitian specializing in sustainable food and mother of two. Together, we explored how to eat healthily and simply during pregnancy, postpartum, and everyday life. 🌿
1. The basics of a balanced diet
There's no need to complicate your life to eat well! Morgane recommends building your meals around these three pillars:
- Proteins : meat, fish, tofu, legumes… choose according to your tastes.
- Seasonal vegetables : local, fresh or frozen, they are full of nutrients and better for the planet.
- Starchy foods : opt for semi-whole or whole grain versions to have energy and avoid cravings.
💡 Handy tip : Frozen vegetables are a lifesaver when fresh options are scarce. Always keep peas or green beans in your freezer; they're quick and nutritious!
2. During your pregnancy: eat well, not for two
Contrary to popular belief, being pregnant doesn't mean eating for two. Above all, you need a balanced diet adapted to your new needs.
✅ What you really need :
- Folates (vitamin B9) : From preconception onward, they prevent birth defects. You can find them in supplements or green vegetables like spinach.
- Hydrate yourself : drink water regularly, it's essential!
- Avoid certain foods : raw fish, raw milk cheeses, alcohol, etc.
💡 Listen to your body : Food cravings often have a reason. Morgane says she had irresistible cravings for canned fish, probably to satisfy an omega-3 need!
3. Postpartum: Take care of yourself
After giving birth, your body continues to work hard, especially if you're breastfeeding. Here are some essentials for a good recovery:
- Collagen-rich broths : perfect for hydrating, providing protein and electrolytes.
- No diet!: Your body needs energy to recover and take care of your baby.
💡 Kallisto Tip : Prepare meals in advance or ask those around you for help. Why not include a home-cooked meal delivery in your baby registry? 🍲
4. Be kind to yourself
Every mother is unique. Morgane emphasizes the importance of:
- Trust yourself and listen to your instincts.
- Ignore the pressure to “get your old body back.”
- Focus on your well-being and health above all else.
Conclusion
At Kallisto, we believe that taking care of yourself starts with a balanced, well-balanced diet. Whether you're pregnant, a new mom, or in the throes of everyday life, these tips are here to inspire and guide you. 🌸
