Gestational Diabetes and Fast Food?

You can do it, just follow the rules!

Rule #1 is Know your ingredients
Find the nutritional information either in the restaurant itself or on the website.

Rule #2 Beware of the bread (or batter)
Avoid breaded or battered options in chicken and fish. If you chose a hamburger or hotdog remove the bun. 

Rule #3 Forget Fried
Opt instead for something that has been steamed grilled or baked rather then fried.

Rule #4 Skip the French Fries
Or any potato for that matter. Chose a salad instead.

Rule #5 Simplfy the Salad- 

Take off those croutons/tortilla chips/fried noodles. Also watch your dressing choice. (I've seen Light or Fat Free Ranch recommended most often. Raspberry vinaigrette and Italian have also been suggested on multiple sites)

Rule #6 Sauce on the side

Do not go overboard on sauces. Less is more. Ok less is less, but its healthier. :)
