I started a fruitarian diet, which means no meat and nothing that harms the plant it comes from when harvested.I eat a lot of seeds, nuts, berries, so on. I actually love the flavors, and it works well for me. The trouble, is that I'm a couple months into my first pregnancy and my food cravings are for chicken, beef, a lot of stuff I don't feel morally okay about eating.My doctor said the food cravings are signs of what the baby needs nutritionally. My husband is really frustrated that I don't eat more, and it feels like the world and my body are pressuring me into doing something I feel bad about.I've been trying to meet the same nutritional needs through my diet, but it just isn't working for the cravings. Should I just eat the meat, and does it make me a bad person if I do?
>>35079675>Should I just eat the meat, Yes.>and does it make me a bad person if I do?No. You're a very bad person if you don't eat it and harm your baby.
>>35079675a fruitarian diet is not enough to support a normal persons body and especially not a pregnant one'sjust go vegan or vegetarian if u wanna but get ur nutrients. if u were selfish enough to conceive then at least give it a chance of being born healthy and not mentally retarded or something.also remember that ur died doesnt change anything in the world. all it does is help u stroke ur own ego
>>35079701Knowing I'm not hurting anyone or contributing to hurting anyone is a big source of peace of mind. I'll look at some vegetarian options, tofu is pretty good too so that shouldn't be hard.>>35079685That's a good point too. I have more responsibility to my baby than to the animals. If tofu doesn't scratch the itch I'll eat some meat.

During pregnancy you only need an extra 300 kcal than normal. If you plan on breastfeeding that number increases tremendously. It will be extremely difficult to sustain a milk supply on a diet like that. Unless youre making up for it with many many more calories.
>>35079675You can make that diet work with your cravings. Fit more melon into your meals and you should be fine.
