This week's episode is about carbohydrates, which will wrap up our 3 part TTC with Hashimoto’s nutrition series! Carbohydrates are needed in our diet, in addition to protein and fats, to have a complete and balanced meal. Incorporating carbs such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains will help you feel energized, keep you feeling fuller longer, and help balance your blood sugar and hormones. All things we want and need while TTC with Hashimoto's!
We will also be discussing carb tolerance and how to know how many carbs your body needs! While we encourage using the plate method to consume a moderate to low carb diet, we want you to understand that your carb tolerance may fluctuate, especially during different stages of your menstrual cycle. For example, your body may require more carbs during the 2 week waiting period because your body is doing a lot more work growing your fertilized egg. Listen to what your body is telling you and give it the fuel it needs because we want you to feel the best during this TTC journey!
