Desserts: Granted a dessert or ice cream once or twice a week. It is preferable that the dessert or ice cream is artisanal (even better if homemade). It should be avoided to consume it alone (the simple sugars contained make the blood sugar rise too quickly), but it is preferable to add it to the meal by significantly reducing the other carbohydrates: when you eat dessert, for example, you can make a meal with grilled turkey, abundant grilled or raw vegetables, dressed with extra virgin olive oil.
NB: The non-breastfeeding woman will only snack on fruit / vegetables and feel the need. She will also avoid the cheese on the first courses.
