[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three kids and am pregnant with my 4th.  With each pregnancy I gained a TON of weight - between 50 and 80 pounds.  I eventually lost the weight after my second but got gestational diabetes with my last one and have been working out for a year and changed my diet (no gluten, very limited sugar, almost all “whole” unprocessed foods) - losing the weight has been slow going.  In any case, what did you do to avoid blowing up in pregnancy, particularly if you’d already had a pregnancy (or more) where you had? TIA. [/quote]

Youd be surprised at what foods cause spikes. I tracked religiously with GD and managed with diet. I found that a lot of items I could eat in normal portions without a spike but then others would cause a spike. For example, I could eat potatoes just fine but not rice, bread, some fruits or vegetables, etc. In sum, some fruits and vegetables caused more a spike than the same grams of carbs in potato form. 
Try the nichols book on pregnancy diet?
