In this episode of Gyno World, Dr. Sunita Pawar, a trusted prenatal nutrition doctor in HSR Layout, breaks down one of the most common pregnancy myths — the idea that expecting mothers need to “eat for two.” While the phrase sounds caring, it can be misleading. Your body needs smarter nutrition, not double the food.
Dr. Sunita explains how calorie needs change during each trimester and why quality matters far more than quantity. She highlights the importance of proteins, iron, calcium, folate, fiber, and hydration — all essential for your baby’s development and your own health. She also warns against overeating and excessive sugary or fried foods, which can lead to unhealthy weight gain and gestational diabetes.
This episode empowers expecting mothers to think of their diet as “nourishing for two” rather than eating more than necessary. With balanced meals, whole foods, and mindful eating, pregnancy becomes healthier and more comfortable.
Stay tuned to Gyno World with Dr. Sunita Pawar, your reliable prenatal nutrition doctor in HSR Layout, for more simple and science-backed truths about pregnancy and women’s health.
