Have you had a specific post-baby weight loss plan?
Carrie: It really was not to lose weight at all. It was first of all to regain control of my body because it was ready for a moment, busy growing a human. One of the tips I use now, that I should have used everything, is to prepare a carbohydrate without a carbohydrate meal. I will make a protein and vegan vegetables, and no bread. I think carbohydrates are important and good energies, but when I do not eat them at night, I wake up and I feel like the first thing about my belly in the morning. (PSST! If you like carbohydrates, beware of these20 bad habits of carst of all time!)
What do you eat during pregnancy?
Carrie: At first, I had cravings for the pumpkin. I put it in my oatmeal and I made this pudding "pumpkin / chocolate". I also eaten a lot more cereals. I do not eat meat and cereals are enriched with iron.
Do you have a sweet tooth?
Carrie: Not normally. If I want something sweet, I'll have one of these black chocolate squares at 80% godiva after a meal, and it's so nice.
What is a typical food day for you now?
Carrie: At least one meal a day is I can seize. If I try to feed Isaiah and prepare me, I'll start with a breakfast burrito or a momentgroats, where all you are doing is to add hot water. For lunch, I'm good with one of my vegetable sandwiches.
You are vegan and your husband is not. How it works?
Carrie: My husband says I eat rabbit food, but it works for me. For dinner, we eat the same vegetables, so he will have his meat and I will have my false meat. If we mistake carbohydrates, I make a Crockpot lasagna: it is so easy to get pasta now that is made of quinoa - it actually protein and fibers and all the good things in it. I also like using Daiya Vegan's cheese. Its good.
What is your Snack strategy?
Carrie: I'm wary of trail mixtures as they are so high in calories, but I found good trail mixtures in whole foods and I do not know what I would do without my Kashi cereals. I will start in a ziploc plastic baggy and put it in my handbag or my backpack. These are the types of things that I always have on me to give me energy and keep me supported until I come home.
