All Things Supercinski

I have been amazing myself (and some of our single and never been pregnant friends) with how much I can eat these days. Half pound cheeseburger? No problem! I could even eat dessert afterward if I wanted. Two dinners in one night? Just give me an hour and I’ll be ready to eat again. Seriously, it can be frightening, but I know it’s not bad when I am eating good things, especially protein.

Since I’m a Bradley gal, I’ve been working on following the Brewer Pregnancy Diet. It’s not a weight loss diet, but guideline for food intake to prevent toxemia/preeclampsia, premature labor, low birth weight and other problems. After reading a lot about it and hearing talks from Dr. Brewer (via video at my Bradley training), I’m sold. You can read more about it here.

Eating a good breakfast is an easy way to get a lot of the diet items in for the day. This is what my typical breakfast looks like these days:

-Two (fresh if our chickens are laying) scrambled eggs. Notice how yellow those eggs are, there is a huge difference in eggs from ranging chickens and store eggs.
-A bowl of oatmeal made with milk, wild blueberries, 2 spoonfuls of milled flaxseed (protein, fiber and Omega-3s), 1 scoop of wheat germ (B vitamins and fiber), and sweetened with honey
-A glass of orange juice and a glass of milk
-Often, I also have half of a piece of whole wheat toast if Josiah didn’t eat all of his.

I know it seems like a ridiculous amount of food, but it really isn’t difficult to eat it all, and I feel so much better with a good, high protein breakfast in me. I am not as tired and I don’t feel like I am starved and about to throw up two hours later. I highly recommend it!

And this is who I enjoy conversing with over my breakfast. He doesn’t eat nearly as well as I do.
