Doctors screen for Diabetes during the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy. This week, try microwaved baked potatoes, steamed vegetables or broiled chicken breast. There are many different ways to cook without adding extra fat. Microwaving cooks foods faster than most other methods. You don't need to add fat to meat, poultry, or fish, and you use little water for vegetables.
Microwave cooking is an great way to retain vitamins and color in vegetables.
Steaming is a good method for cooking vegetables without using fat. Try this method for frozen and fresh vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, carrots, spinach, and summer squash. Use a vegetable steamer or colander to hold vegetables. Place steamer in pot with a little boiling water and cover. Cook until the vegetables are just tender to preserve color and vitamins.
