Avoid Starchy Foods

Starchy foods are typically rich in carbs and might have a big effect on the level of sugar in your blood. As a result, they would increase the risk of gestational diabetes and other health issues. Thus, it is advisable to consume them only in a small portion. Some foods that are very starchy should be best limited or avoided. These might include white rice, white bread, white potatoes, as well as white pasta. [9]
