Help compensating food aversions to protein?


Recommended Posts

Hi there! I'm 20 wks pregnant and on Day 6 of my Whole30. The first 18 weeks were realIy brutal with food aversions, morning sickness and exhaustion, but now that I'm feeling more human, it feels like the right time for another Whole30 to get things back on track for both baby and I. (I finished my 2nd Whole30 about 5 weeks before I became pregnant and had never felt better!)

 

I'm on day 6 at the moment, and I'm feeling a definite return to the food aversions from before - meat and fish are just really overwhelming to both cook and eat. I'm ok with eggs and nuts etc and have been incorporating them daily. Any suggestions for some other protein sources/solutions?  I was ok with dairy when I reintroduced it the last 2 times - is it ok to incorporate some along the way this time to help compensate?  

 

Thanks!

I struggled with awful food aversions when pregnant. It's the pits. I lost nearly 20 lbs! 

 

If food aversions are making following the exact Whole30 template difficult, my opinion would be to follow a modified version until the aversions are gone (either later in pregnancy or post-partum). How did you do with legumes? There's a vegetarian version of the Whole30 that allows those.
