Hello Carmen,
congratulations on your pregnancy and your new 811rv lifestyle. It's
impressive that you've made this shift in the last 2 months of your
pregnancy. Many of us experience both temporary and long term
changes in our bodies as we transitioned to 811rv. We may initially
lose weight and regain it, or lose unwanted fat and water weight that
stays off, or briefly gain weight only to lose it again. In the beginning
you may lose mostly water weight as you cease to consume salt and
bloating, difficult to digest foods. I don't know your weight and
height so I don't know if your weight is in a healthy weight range.
However, as with any new system, it's a matter of getting accustomed
to what works best. If you feel full and satiated, I wouldn't worry too
much about the 2500 to 3000 calories a day. If you're very keen to
increase your calorie intake, I would focus on consuming greater
quantities of dates and bananas. Making smoothies can help with
imbibing a larger number of calories as can consuming more
frequent meals throughout the day. I would also only eat tender leafy
greens as vegetables and not consume other kinds of vegetables or
non-sweet fruits as they are filling without providing much in the way
of calories or minerals. You may also find any issues have ironed
themselves out after your birth as pregnancy hormones can interfere
with the most perfect diet and lifestyle plans.
Best wishes,
Bronwyn
