4Choose Unsaturated Fats
Unsaturated fats should also be included in a daily diet of people with gestational diabetes. They can be easily broken down into smaller parts, which would be eventually turned into energy to speed up the metabolism rate and fat burning. Some foods with unsaturated fats include peanut oil, olive oil, seeds, nuts, avocados, sardines, salmon, chia seeds, or tuna. As said earlier, some types of fish might be high in mercury, which can be harmful to pregnant women. Thus, make sure to ask your doctor carefully before adding them to the daily diet. [4]
