Pregnancy and Sushi

If you've been pregnant, or researched what you can/can't eat while pregnant, I'm sure you've read that you should avoid raw sushi fish.  When I found this out I was devastated.  It is a weekly staple in my life, I love it, crave it, almost need it.  So, I started researching.  I learned, that by flash freezing fish for a minimum of 24 hours, any parasites that MAY have been in the fish would be killed.  I decided this wasn't enough proof to make me feel safe, so I decided to speak to my sushi chef.  He told me the same thing, and that all of their fish comes frozen.  Then, I decided before having it, I'd speak to my doctor, who confirmed this as well.  So, for the past 3 months, I have continued to eat raw sushi weekly, and will continue to.

I may eat/drink things you question during this pregnancy, but believe me, I have done my research and feel safe in everything that enters my body.  Feel free though, to send me an email anytime about what I eat, I'm happy to talk about it.


So, for lunch, a wonderful serving of salad and sashimi. :)

And breakfast early in the morning...Dorset cereal, strawberries, skim milk.

Morning snacks were an apple and cottage cheese.  I find I like the 'runnier' cottage cheese better than a thicker brand.  What do you prefer?

I didn't eat in the afternoon, sashimi lunch fills me up!  But when I got home I had a handful of nuts or two.

Dinner was leftover lasagna and a salad that resembled this.  I didn't take a photo.

More great frozen yogurt while watching American Idol.  Who is your pick?

Have a great day,
Jess
