Summary
Prenatal nutrition can be confusing. A lot of the advice you have been given about what to eat (or what not to eat) is well-meaning, but frankly, outdated or not evidenced-based. In Real Food for Pregnancy, you will get clear answers on what to eat and why, with research to back up every recommendation.
Author and specialist in prenatal nutrition Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE has taken a long and hard look at the science and discovered a wide gap between current prenatal nutrition recommendations and what foods are required for optimal health in pregnancy and for your baby's development. There has never been a more comprehensive and well-referenced resource on prenatal nutrition. With Real Food for Pregnancy as your guide, you can be confident your food and lifestyle choices support a smooth, healthy pregnancy.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very informative and Eye opener
The book is very informative and realistic.
In response to the vegetarian review, please not I have myself tried the daily intake of eggs and collage on my pregnancy and this was not unaffordable at all.
I find that my baby is very intelligent and healthy, whilst I wasn’t following everything in the diet as I had a bad nausea while pregnant and I mostly consumed carbs.
Nevertheless I was always encouraged by my next in kind to eat more of the recommended foods in this book and it did really help me and my baby who had a tongue tie and ended up losing a bit of weight, below 7% of body weight, until it was resolved around 2 months old. Being exclusively breastfed and me continuing to take collagen and minimum 2 daily eggs I found I was able to cope better than the days I wasn’t taking as much proteins.
Eggs aren’t unaffordable and the collagen can be phased to suit your money issues but it wasn’t expensive either at £15 monthly expense. Definitely cheaper than eating more meat when this isn’t an option in a daily basis.
I also couldn’t eat red meat, though I tried, I mostly ate salmon and we were able to find in reduce section of the supermarket.
I think this book is an eye opener and it is worth listening before allowing the vegetarian review putting you off.
I believe your child health should be more important than the animals in the world vegans and vegetarians want to save.
There should be a balance in the importance of life, being you and your child the priority.
Also it doesn’t recommend liver 5 times a week, says it can be mixed on a shepherd’s pie, and you only require a small amount which I’m not exactly remembering.
So get the book and assess yourself before allowing the reviews putting you off.
I also felt the book is very easy to listen to as I seem to be falling in a meditative state while driving, both focusing on the book, the road and remembering the content better than when I listen to it in other places.
AN AMAZING BOOK!

Came across this book at the right time..
Discovered this author while researching about GB for one of my patients. Read it twice and absolutely loved it. Incredibly eye-opening...every woman who is pregnant who would like to get, should read it.

A great guide for all females seeking to optimise their health
I wish I’d read this before I started to try and get pregnant. This is a fabulous guide for any woman seeking to optimise their health and that of their child, irrespective of whether you’re pregnant, trying to get pregnant or already in motherhood as the advice applies to all stages. Thank you for the insights!

Trite anti-carb black&white thinking
I'm a vegetarian with hyperemesis and BORED by the advice and info here, pedastaling hunter gatherer habits which correspond back when we had babies at age 11 and died by 28.
It just seems unbelievable when nutritionists say things like "eat liver at least 5 times a week or else your baby will have brain damage".
This book is entirely focused on micronutrients in isolation and feeds into the carb scare trend unhealthily. Oversimplified and totally unholistic.
Furthermore, this white privileged American author takes NOTHING about economics, sociology, accessibility into account with recommendations. It's not only obnoxious and unhelpful but it is guilt inducing and has nothing to do with reality for most people.
Lily is clearly well-researched and impressively comprehensive. But she does a terrible job of explaining the background of the science; cites pretty unhelpful studies about deficiency. She made me SO mad when she repeated the same message over and over again about the importance of eating organ meat which is extremely unrealistic and gross for 90% of women!
My respect was won at times, and I'm glad I stuck through reading it, like around contaminants. This part is very important. and I was grateful for the approach to post-partum healing.
I was also refreshed when finally Lily got to the chapter admitting that if you vomit for the first 20 weeks of your pregnancy, a tiny piece of egg (1 egg) feels heroic.
I appreciate her comprehensive approach but it would be a much better book if she explained things with wisdom instead of just reading off medical lab articles.
