Product Description
Announcing Eating Well When You’re Expecting, providing moms-to-be with a realistic approach to navigating healthily and deliciously through the nine months of pregnancy—at home, in the office, over the holidays, in restaurants. Thorough chapters are devoted to nutrition, weight gain, food safety, the postpartum diet, and how to eat when trying to conceive again. And, very exciting, the book comes with 150 contemporary, tasty, and healthy recipes that feed mom and baby well, take little time to prepare, and are gentle on queasy tummies.
A departure from its predecessor, What to Eat When You’re Expecting, which has 976,000 copies in print, Eating Well loses the whole-wheatier-than-thou attitude, and comes with a light, reader-friendly tone while delivering the most up-to-date information. At the heart of the book are hundreds of pressing questions every mother-to-be has: Is it true I shouldn’t eat any food cooked with alcohol? Will the caffeine in coffee cross into my baby’s bloodstream? Help!—I’m entering my second trimester, and I’m losing weight, not gaining. Is all sushi off limits? How do I get enough calcium if I’m lactose intolerant? I keep dreaming about a hot fudge sundae—can I indulge? Guess what: the answer is yes.

Got this book by mistake. It is OK but there is nothing in it that you don’t get at the ante netal classes. Would reccomend what to expect when your expecting instead.

It seems like every pregnancy, diet and health book advocates the exact same diet. Is this a conspiracy? Has this diet even been tested on lab rats? What is the research behind these guidelines?
Let’s review the books recommendations.
*Eat Lean Meats
*Eat lots of Grains
*Eat lots of fruits and veggies
* No Junk food – this is good advice except half the foods in the book, such as foods with processed flours, and soy are unhealthy (junk food). The author mistakenly says that artificial sweeteners are okay during pregnancy, which is completely false and misguided and also recommends sweeteners like fructose, which is artificial.
The book parrots advice from US governmental agencies, even quoting the USDA as if they know something about our health, which they usually do not.
Finally, we need healthy fats from whole foods to be healthy. Pregnant women get essential vitamins from healthy fats, that’s why even this book recommends fish, and eggs for pregnancy. But they unfortunately go on to say saturated fats are unhealthy, this doesn’t make sense since eggs and fish have saturated fats.
Indigenous groups across the planet, who had healthy babies, and uncomplicated births knew what to eat during pregnancy. Special foods included raw grassfed dairy, sea foods which included the organs, and fatty foods from the land and sea. Healthy people never had refined flour, or “organic” breakfast cereals or soy milk. By returning to a whole foods diet based upon generations of healthy people, rather than listening to mainstream, nonfactual and unscientific medical beliefs which we are to take on blind faith, we can reclaim our pregnancy health. Learn how to do it in Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6).

This is a recipe book, and that’s it. Perfect if that’s what you’re looking for, but if you live in the real world and eat out from time to time there really are no good tips in here. Essentially what you get is, “cook for yourself” or “learn to punch your way out of a wet paper bag” (I choose the latter for hopefully obvious reasons). Thinking for yourself isn’t overrated after all!

I expected this book to talk more about nutrition than “What to expect when you are expecting”. But it says the same thing. This book didn’t suit my needs at all because it asks a pregnant woman, who can barely remember to turn the oven off when she’s finished, to cook gormet meals. I was an excellent cook pre-pregnancy, and these meal plans and suggestions would have been difficult, time-consuming, and costly even then! If anyone CAN indeed cook like a gormet cheif when pregnant and has the dough to spend on it, by all means, this book is for you.
