What are you cutting out?

[blabbermouth]

Are you still drinking coffee? Are you going to eat lunch meat anyway? What are you eating/not eating now that you're pregnant? 

[peggels24]

I've cut out Diet Coke (which I drank all day long) and I've reduced my normal caffeine intake to one medium (grande) half caf / half decaf in the morning. I will try to avoid lunch meat and tuna.

I haven't been hungry for meals - instead I would rather snack all day long. I need to go food shopping to get healthier snacks so that I don't gain a gazillion pounds in the first trimester LOL But I do want a huge steak today.

[blabbermouth]

I thought that I'd just cut back on coffee, but I haven't really wanted it. I got a decaf latte the other day and couldn't decide if it was a crappy latte or if my taste for coffee is gone!

I'm super into meat too, beef and chicken!

I always snack all day long, so that's pretty normal for me.

I read that canned tuna is actually fine, it's more like tuna steaks that are higher in mercury. I like tuna, so I'm happy

Honestly, not cutting anything. As my diet is 'pregnancy friendly' anyway.

I don't like coffee
Don't drink alcohol as never liked the taste of it (unless I was purposely going out with my BFF's which won't happen for another year now lol)
Don't like fish
Don't really eat lunch meat to begin with.

The only thing that I will keep an eye on is my coke intake, I probably have 2 cans a day, so I've cut that to just 1 with my tea time meal. Just drinking water during the day.

The only change I've had to do is quit smoking. When pregnant with DS I quit straight away, took the habit back up when he was around 8 months, I have no idea why. So I've just quit again, doesn't bother me as I was a really light smoker.

I was shocked when I found out that my daily Venti Pike from Starbucks had 415 mg of caffeine! That's why I switched to half caf / half decaf. Next week I'll probably just start making a pot at home and taking smaller cups.

I came back because I remembered that I will most likely avoid bagged salads and hummus as well (but to be fair, I avoid those for the most part anyway).

But I will still have medium rare steaks

I think I read that Starbucks coffee has more caffeine than most places! Which I can see because it tastes like it. LOL. 

I should look into how much their iced coffee and cold brew have. Because any of their iced coffee is my favorite. Also McD's iced coffee. Which is $2 for a medium right now. 

Did I mention I love coffee?

Their iced coffee has less than the hot - I think a grande is under 200.  I believe that their cold brew is more than their iced but less than the hot drip.  Did I mention I love Starbucks?  LOL

@thatgolfbitch, peggels24, you guys are more knowledgeable than half of the starbucks employees I come across!

Also, I agree, medium rare steak, I cannot/will not eat well done. Just, no.

[izz67]

Alcohol.

I only drink 1/2-1 cup of coffee a day and sometimes a soda with lunch. As far as food, the only change I'll make is with deli meat, I'll heat it up before eating.

[jax1182014]

Right now I'll stay away from cold cuts and wine. I only drink 1 cup of coffee anyway.

Kass isn't cutting anything. Just being more careful. Making sure she hits her calories and protein. She never really drank caffeine but she got rid of that. Of course she was just chowing on Doritos.... reading over my shoulder "I have cravings"

This is how my friends' baby got the nickname Nacho. Then Nacha when they found out it was a girl!

[bethkate]

Other than alcohol, nothing so far. I was up to two cups of coffee a day, so I've switched to decaf for one of those, but that's it.

[blabbermouth]

I had a latte today, it was delicious.

So good. I am sipping one now!

Yes, better than regular coffee which I find I don't have a taste for right now. 

[grumpycat88]

Wine. And limiting caffeine intake ... but I seem to have lost the taste for coffee I am also trying to limit sodium intake, but right now all I want to eat is salty foods. I am so ready for the nausea to pass.

Only alcohol.
I don't drink coffee and rarely drink pop. Not really worried about anything else. I'm going to try and make an effort to eat more balanced meals. My digestive tract is currently furious with me from a combo of hormones and vacation food.

[cnf2013]

Alcohol and raw sushi. That's it.

I still drink coffee, eat deli meat, drink the occasional soda, whatever. My biggest craving, that I always gave into with DD was Wegmans turkey subs.

I don't eat beef or pork, so no meat concerns. I will still eat seafood though. Nomnomnom fish.

[whoopsadaisy]

Gave up wine. Limiting caffeine, which is the toughest for me. I love coffee so, so much. Would happily drink 5 cups a morning and 5 in the afternoon. Guess I won't eat much deli meat, but so far that hasn't been an issue. Got pretty sick off sushi 2 months ago and haven't wanted it since.
On the flip side, I will be eating all the pastries, which I don't normally do. Give them all to me. Please and thank you.

[lgraceh]

Booze is out, but I hardly drink anyway. I'm limiting caffeine which is the hardest for me. I really don't eat deli meat and will forgo sushi. I also dropped diet soda, mostly because I will drink that at home and won't drink water.

[blabbermouth]

I decided that bacon wasn't lunch meat. Right? So now I can get BLTs at Subway, yay!

[esgrunner]

This isn't really cutting out, but I will make a better effort to eat fish. Probably salmon at leas,t once every couple of weeks!

Cutting out...not much. I have given up most sweets for Lent (cakes, cookies, ice cream, candy) which is a huge sacrifice for me and I feel like that is a very healthy change. I would like to try to maintain that throughout the pregnancy....I'm a bit of a sugar addict.
I only drink one half-caff coffee each morning anyway, so I'm not worried about that. We don't really eat lunch meats, so I don't feel like I'm missing out.
ETA: and I'm not a drinker, so alcohol is no big deal. When I'm not pregnant, I probably have like 2 drinks a month!
