Loading ...The Biggest Loser host Alison Sweeney said that although her show is about losing weight, she is feeling good about gaining weight. “It’s really the only time in your life that you’re supposed to gain weight. They say that you’re eating for two, but you have to remember that one of the two is only five ounces. It’s not the same,” she tells People.com.
Sweeney, 31, is expecting her second child, a daughter, this winter.
The actress says she had some food aversions early in her pregnancy (”Grilled chicken or tomatoes would be the worst. I would tell my husband to get it away from me!”) but is now filling up on healthy fruits and cereal.
“All I wanted was Cheerios — it was all I could eat for two months,” she says. “I definitely have a sweet tooth with this pregnancy that I didn’t have with my son. With my son, I craved savory things. My doctor said to buy fruit at the farmer’s market. I bought a cantaloupe, and I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. I cut it up and put it in this big bowl and then next thing I knew, half of it was gone.”
I remember craving fruit when I was pregnant. It gave me the sweet taste I was craving, without being too heavy.
Got something to say?
