The Whole Food Pregnancy Plan

More about the book

Get both mama and baby on track for a healthy, happy, and delicious life! Prenatal health and nutrition during pregnancy are crucial, especially as the US faces rising mortality rates for pregnant women, largely due to obesity—half of all pregnant women are considered overweight. Current nutrition guidelines often exacerbate the obesity and gestational diabetes epidemics, with new mothers receiving advice that includes a daily sugar intake equivalent to 10 glazed donuts. Aimee has created a comprehensive nutrition guide to help expecting and postpartum women achieve optimal health and weight. This resource introduces effective gluten-free nutrition trends to the prenatal and postpartum populations, offering a dietary regimen focused on whole, unprocessed foods, low-glycemic carbohydrates, quality proteins, and essential fats. Developed by a certified nutritionist, the meal-planning system includes a variety of simple, delicious recipes that benefit both mother and baby. It also provides tailored instructions for each stage of pregnancy, including the first, second, and third trimesters, as well as guidance for the “fourth trimester” of postpartum weight loss and nursing.
