Alison Sweeney’s Sweet Tooth
August 31, 2008 by lkatulka
Much to her surprise, Alison Sweeney has been craving sweet things during her pregnancy. This sweet tooth is in complete contrast to Alison’s last pregnancy where she hungered after savory things.
For her health’s sake, Alison has turned to fruit to indulge those cravings but she’s still careful not to overindulge.
“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,” she told People at the Clothes Off Our Back auction.
But Alison considers herself lucky that she can eat at all. During the first few months of her pregnancy some “brutal” morning sickness made it difficult to eat anything!
“I would order my favorite things from restaurants, and I would get it and say, ‘Get that thing away from me.’ Grilled chicken or tomatoes would be the worst. I would tell my husband to get it away from me. All I wanted was Cheerios - it was all I could eat for two months,” she admitted.
Happily that’s all behind her and Alison’s just doing her best to stay healthy. While she knows that pregnancy is “really the only time in your life that you’re supposed to gain weight,” she’s still making sure she doesn’t gain too much. She’s “addicted” to her Biggest Loser cohost Bob Harper’s spinning class because “everyday is different, and you can shake it up every day.”
Alison and husband Dave Sanov expect a baby girl on January 20. They are also parents to three-year-old Benjamin.
