Editorial Review:Could having the occasional small bowl of ice cream lead to a midnight craving for pickles and ice cream?
It's common knowledge that diet and exercise have profound effects on your health. Can they affect your ability to get pregnant, too? Until now, the answer to that question was a qualified "Maybe." Today, it's "Yes!" thanks to exciting findings from a landmark long-term study of female nurses. As described in The Fertility Diet, ten simple changes in diet and activity can have profound effects on fertility. You can increase your chances of getting pregnant with such simple strategies as:
- Avoiding trans fats
- Eating more beans, nuts, and other fertility-boosting plant protein
- Embracing whole grains such as oatmeal and barley
- Having a glass of whole milk or other full-fat dairy product every day (a small bowl of ice cream every now and then counts, too!)
- Staying away from sugared sodas
The Nurses' Health Study exhaustively examined the effects of diet and other lifestyle changes on fertility among nearly 20,000 female nurses. It scrutinized everything from alcohol to vitamins. In plain language, two of the study's lead researchers translate its groundbreaking findings into changes you can put into practice today, setting the stage for a healthy pregnancy and forming the foundation for an eating strategy that will serve you well for the rest of your life. The Fertility Diet also offers a week's worth of meal plans and fifteen delicious recipes.

Rating:  - It Works!
This book is a result of a lot of study, and i can say that for me it worked really well.
I followed the Fertility Diet as described in the book and now I am pregnant! And the best part is it was a natural process. No in vitro fertilization, no shots, no pain, nothing like that! I have some cists in my ovaries and doctors told me I would have to be treated in oder to have a baby, but they were wrong!
The way we eat REALLY affects everything else.
It is worth trying. ... Read More
Rating:  - Still not pregnant
I have read and followed this book like it is the 'Bible' and have been doing so for about a year. Still not pregnant and have ruled out every other possibility for infertility. I just don't understand....
Rating: - Excellent Advice for Infertility Patients with Ovulatory Dysfunction
I read this text from cover to cover and thought that it contained excellent advice for infertility patients with ovulatory dysfunction (such as PCOS).

Rating: - Excellent Resource
This is a good book that strikes a nice balance between a plan that's easy to follow and plenty of detailed background for those who want it.

This is just your typical good diet advice backed by lots of research applicable to pregnant, wanting to become pregnant, and post-pregnancy women. Eat whole grains, drink water, eat veggies, all the diet advice you'd expect.. jam packed with very specific tips about how what you eat will most likely affect your child.
