my husband and I are planning to start the paleo diet next week. not for weightloss but for energy and health and to keep my weight gaining from being out of control. anything i need to worry about being pregnant? i have no intention of trying to do anything ridiculous like lose weight whatsoever.....just want to give the baby healthier foods since so many of my foods are sugary processed carbs.....

I can't imagine a better way to eat while pregnant! My husband and I just started ourselves. I would think that as long as you eat enough, you have nothing to worry about. Make sure to take your prenatal viatmins. Without dairy, you might not get enough calcium. Let me know how it goes, it will be good data for others!

well i started paleo yesterday instead of waiting til after christmas with the knowledge that i'll probably mess up a few times around the holiday but oh well. i just have to say that the change in energy was immense with just the first day. the day prior to starting i was sluggish and tired despite 8 hours of sleep and the day i started my energy was through the roof. its really hard to do this diet since i'm actually on the road right now and have been for the last three weeks but the way it makes me feel is wonderful! i'm gonna keep trying! that's not to say i don't crave carbs and sugar but i'm realizing how those things make me feel so i'm willing to avoid them and only indulge occasionally!
