NOW, HERE IS MARGARET LARSON.
>>> GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME
TO NEW DAY NORTHWEST.
FOOD CRAVINGS DURING PRESENT
-- DURING PREGNANCY ARE REAL
AND NECESSARY TO A PREGNANT
WOMAN'S SANITY, AT LEAST THAT
IS HOW I REMEMBER IT.
NUTRITION MATTERS.
NUTRITION MATTERS. THE AUTHOR OF A BLOG, LAUREN
CHAMBERS, IS HERE TO DECODE
WHAT THE CRAVINGS MEAN AND HOW
TO UPGRADE THEM INSTEAD OF
GIVING THEM UP.
WELCOME.
WELCOME.
WELCOME. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> YOU ARE AN EXPECTANT
MOTHER?
MOTHER?
MOTHER? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. I'M IN MY SEVENTH MONTH.
>> THAT IS SEVEN MONTHS
PREGNANT?
PREGNANT?
PREGNANT? >> I'M ON THE TALL SIDE.
>> DO YOU CRAVE ANYTHING?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. I'VE HAD SPECIFIC CRAVINGS,
ESPECIALLY IN MY FIRST
TRIMESTER.
TRIMESTER. I NORMALLY AM AN ADVENTUROUS
EATER AND I ONLY CRAVED MAC &
CHEESE AND TOAST, SPECIFIC
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. >> DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING?
WE NORMALLY WOULD TRY TO ARGUE
THIS AWAY BY SAYING YOUR BODY
MUST AND NEED SOMETHING.
I CRAVED CARROT CAKE AND I'M
NOT SURE MY BODY NEEDED THAT.
>> IT MIGHT HAVE NEEDED
SOMETHING YOU MISTOOK FOR
CARROT CAKE.
CARROT CAKE. BUT, THERE ARE WAYS TO DECODE
THE DIFFERENT CRAVINGS.
AND, WHAT THEY MIGHT MEAN.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
WHAT I ATE WAS GOAT CHEESE AND
TOMATOES, SUDDENLY.
TOMATOES, SUDDENLY. I LEARNED TO LOVE GOAT CHEESE
WHILE PREGNANT WITH MY SON.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
>> WE WILL COVER THE MOST
COMMON CRAVINGS IN PREGNANCY
AND, IN GENERAL.
IT CAN MEAN SOMETHING
PHYSICAL.
PHYSICAL.
PHYSICAL. YOU MIGHT BE DEFICIENT IN
SOMETHING AND THE CRAVING
MIGHT PROVIDE IT OR IT MIGHT
BE SOMETHING EMOTIONAL, A
FEELING AND THE FOOD MIGHT
TEMPORARILY CURB THAT.
>> THAT MAKES SENSE.
FRATERNITY HOUSE IS TOP OF
MIND AND YOU ARE CERTIFIED IN
HORMONAL HEALTH?
HORMONAL HEALTH? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> I'M ACCREDITED THROUGH
HORMONAL HEALTH TO UNDERSTAND
THE IMBALANCES.
THE IMBALANCES. THERE ARE DIFFERENT ISSUES LIKE
FERTILITY, PREGNANCY, THYROID
AND AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS.
WE HOPE TO DIG INTO THE
SYMPTOMS TO PROVIDE OTHER WAYS
TO HEAL AND GET TO YOUR OPTIMAL
HEALTH.
HEALTH.
HEALTH. >> THAT IS SUPER IMPORTANT AND
APPLIES TO A LOT OF PEOPLE,
NOT JUST EXPECTANT MOTHERS.
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES ARE SOME
THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE
STRUGGLING WITH MORE AND MORE.
IF WE CAN ADDRESS IT WITH
NUTRITION, THAT IS PRETTY
GOOD.
GOOD.
GOOD. LET'S TALK ABOUT CARBS, THE
AREA OF WANTING TO EAT BREAD
AND PIZZA ON WHATEVER YOU CAN
GET YOUR HANDS ON.
>> THAT WAS ME, MY WHOLE FIRST
TRIMESTER.
TRIMESTER. CARBS ARE THE MOST PREFERRED
AND EASILY USED SOURCE OF
FUEL.
FUEL.
FUEL. >>
FUEL. >> YOUR BODY WANTS TO FUEL UP.
YOU ARE SO TIRED AND PEOPLE --
AND IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE --
IF YOU ARE EXHAUSTED, YOU
MIGHT REACH FOR PIZZA OR PASTA
BECAUSE YOUR BODY CRAVES FUEL.
ON THE FLIPSIDE, YOU NEED TO
BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IT WILL
SPIKE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR AND
GIVE YOU INSTANT ENERGY, BUT
THEN YOU CRASH AND CRAVE EVEN
MORE CARBS TO GET BACK TO
WHERE YOU WERE BEFORE.
IT IS A VICIOUS CYCLE AND THE
KEY IS TO HAVE A CARBOHYDRATE
WITH A PROTEIN AND FAT.
>> THAN YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IS
STEADY AND YOU DON'T HAVE A
BURST AND THEN NEED A NAP 30
MINUTES LATER?
MINUTES LATER? >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. I BROUGHT THIS PASTA SALAD
BECAUSE I USED GARBANZO BEANS
AND THAT HAS A LOT OF PROTEIN
AND FIBER.
AND FIBER. YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT
ADDING CHICKEN OR ANOTHER
LEGUME OR SEED.
WE MADE PESTO.
>> I LOVE PESTO.
WILL BE SURE THAT RECIPE?
>> TOTALLY.
>> TOTALLY. I DID SUMMER VEGGIES, ARUGULA,
CHERRY TOMATOES AND CORN AND
SOME ALMOND MILK RICOTTA
CHEESE.
CHEESE.
CHEESE. YOU CAN PUT WHATEVER YOU WANT
AND A GREAT WAY TO SATISFY
CARB CRAVINGS IS TO MAKE IT
AHEAD AND TAKE IT WITH YOU TO
THE PICNIC OR POT LUCK.
>> THE IDEA IS THAT THIS SNACK
HAS ALL THE THINGS WE NEED,
THE PROTEIN, THE FATS AND NOT
TOO MANY CARBS AND IT IS ALL
READY TO GO.
>> IT GIVES YOU THE ENERGY YOU
ARE CRAVING.
ARE CRAVING. >> ONE OF MY FRIENDS WANTED TO
EAT NOTHING BUT PRETZELS WHEN
PREGNANT.
PREGNANT.
PREGNANT. SALTY TREATS, WHAT CAN WE
TRADE OFF FOR THAT?
>> SALTY CRAVINGS COULD MEAN
OTHER THINGS.
OTHER THINGS. ONE COULD MEAN YOU ARE
DEHYDRATED.
DEHYDRATED. DRINK SOME WATER AND SEE HOW
YOU FEEL.
YOU FEEL.
YOU FEEL. THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR
HEALTH AND PREGNANCY.
DRINK WATER AND IF NOT, WE
HAVE HEALTHY WAYS TO INDULGE.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. THE OTHER THING, YOU COULD BE
DEFICIENT IN TRACE MINERALS
LIKE CALCIUM.
LIKE CALCIUM. YOU WANT TO INDULGE IN SALTY
SNACKS BECAUSE WHEN WE EAT
SALTY THINGS, THE CALCIUM IN
OUR BLOOD TEMPORARILY RISES
AND TRICKS US INTO THINKING
WE'VE GOT WHAT WE NEED AND
THEN IT PLUMMETS.
WE CRAVE SALTY FOODS AND OUR
BODY IS NOT GETTING THE
CALCIUM.
CALCIUM.
CALCIUM. WE HAVE CALCIUM RICH OPTIONS
AND TRACE MINERALS FROM THE
SEA SALT.
SEA SALT.
SEA SALT. THIS BEET HUMMUS IS DELICIOUS
WITH CHICKPEAS AND TAHINI AND
WE HAVE ALMONDS AND LEGUMES.
>> KIDS DO LIKE THAT.
>> THE COLORS MAKE THEM
VIBRANT AND WE HAVE GUACAMOLE.
CHIPS AND GUACAMOLE AND DIP IS
A GO TO WHEN YOU CRAVE SALTY
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. YOU CAN FINALLY DICE GREENS AND
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING CRUNCHY,
WE HAVE CUCUMBER, SUPER
HYDRATING AND HELPS YOU STAY
HYDRATED AND THEN WE HAVE THE
THESE ALMOND FLOUR CRACKERS.
NICE AND CRISPY AND RICH IN
PROTEIN.
PROTEIN.
PROTEIN. >> THEY LOOK AND TASTE LIKE
REGULAR CRACKERS?
REGULAR CRACKERS? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. AND THESE ARE FRIED ALMONDS.
I KNOW THEY HAVE OIL AND SEA
SALT.
SALT.
SALT. >>
SALT. >> THEY ARE DELICIOUS!
>> THEY HAVE CALCIUM.
>> THEY ARE APPROVED IN
MODERATION?
MODERATION? AND FINALLY, SWEETS.
FIRST OF ALL, EVERYBODY CRAVES
SWEETS.
SWEETS.
SWEETS. >> MY CLIENTS WERE NOT PREGNANT
, THEY HAVE SWEET CRAVINGS AND
I DID BEFORE I WAS PREGNANT.
>> PERFECT.
>> PERFECT. WE HAVE A TRENDY AND HEALTHY
TAKE ON ICE CREAM.
YOU DON'T NEED THIS ICE CREAM
TURNER, JUST A HIGH-SPEED
BLENDER. I
BLENDER. I DID STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM
WITH COCONUT MILK AND YOU CAN
PLAY AROUND AND ADD DIFFERENT
THINGS LIKE CHOCOLATE CHIPS OR
TOPPINGS.
TOPPINGS.
TOPPINGS. I HAVE A DAIRY FREE CARAMEL
SAUCE.
SAUCE.
SAUCE. >>
SAUCE. >> WHAT IS BETTER ABOUT REGULAR
OR ICE CREAM OR GELATO?
>> WHAT WE ARE DECODING WITH
SWEET CRAVINGS ARE DIFFERENT
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. YOU COULD BE DEFICIENT IN
MAGNESIUM.
MAGNESIUM. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A MAGNESIUM
SUPPLEMENT AND YOU CAN GET
THAT FROM FOODS, AS WELL.
SECONDLY, WHEN WE CRAVE
SWEETS, IT IS IN THE PLEASURE
AND REWARD CENTER OF OUR
BRAINS AND WHEN WE EAT THEM,
WE RELEASE SEROTONIN AND
DOPAMINE.
DOPAMINE.
DOPAMINE. WE RECEIVE INSTANT
GRATIFICATION.
GRATIFICATION. ANOTHER THING I ENCOURAGE IS
TO BUILD UP YOUR FEEL-GOOD
TOOLKIT OF OTHER THINGS
BESIDES EATING.
BESIDES EATING. YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN BE HUNGRY.
YOU MIGHT NEED A NAP OR TO GO
FOR A WALK OR CALL A FRIEND.
>> JUST ONLINE SHOP!
>> IF YOU WANT TO ADD THE
COCONUT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS
FOR THE SWEET AND IN THIS
CASE, WE HAVE NICECREAM AND IT
IS HEALTHY AND YOU WANT TO ADD
THE LIQUID, FIRST.
WE AND IN A TEASPOON.
>> IS THAT VANILLA?
>> VANILLA EXTRACT.
AND, A SPRINKLE OF SEA SALT.
>> THE RECIPE WILL BE ON YOUR
WEBSITE?
WEBSITE?
WEBSITE? >> FROZEN STRAWBERRIES WILL
MAKE THIS CREAMY AND ICY.
>> YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT IT
BACK IN THE FREEZER.
THE FROZEN STRAWBERRIES MAKE IT
SO YOU CAN EAT IT RIGHT NOW. I
WON'T PUT IN ALL OF THEM.
YOU START WITH A LITTLE BIT
LESS AND WORK UP TO IT.
>> JUST BLEND THIS UP REAL
FAST AND WE WILL SEE WHAT THE
CONSISTENCY IS WE ARE LOOKING
FOR.
FOR.
FOR. >>
FOR. >> GO FOR IT.
>> I CAN TELL ALREADY.
>> WE PUT THIS IN THE FREEZER
OR HAVE IT AS A SMOOTHIE?
>> YOU CAN MAKE A SMOOTHIE
BOWL.
BOWL.
BOWL. >>
BOWL. >> PERFECT!
>> PERFECT! THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS.
WHAT DID YOU PUT ON TOP?
>> DAIRY FREE CARAMEL SAUCE.
>> THIS IS SUCH A RESOURCE.
