Let's talk food with gestational diabetes

This is part one of a four-part nutrition series with accredited practising dietitian Megan Core, founder of Joy Nutrition Studio.Food is one of the biggest parts of managing gestational diabetes - but it can also bring up a lot of feelings. Guilt, overwhelm, fear of eating the wrong thing. In this episode, Celia and Megan cut through all of that and start from the beginning. What is the actual goal with food when you have GDM? Why does everyone's experience look so different? And if you've just been diagnosed and you don't know where to start, what should you actually focus on first?Megan shares why you absolutely did not cause your GDM through food, why going low carb is one of the biggest mistakes she sees, and the three simple principles she'd give every newly diagnosed woman in week one.Find Megan at joynutritionstudio.com.au or on Instagram @joy.nutrition.studio.Full shownotes: https://heygestie.com/blogs/podcast/ep-8-food-with-gestational-diabetesChapters00:00 Introduction to nutrition for gestational diabetes01:14 Misconceptions about gestational diabetes02:41 Goals of food management in gestational diabetes05:59 Variability from person to person07:56 Starting tips for newly diagnosed09:41 Don't restrict carbs!11:27 Defining success in food management
