This review is from: The Fertile Kitchen Cookbook: Simple Recipes for Optimizing Your Fertility (Perfect Paperback)
I ate that way for years and had female issues. Lots of veggies means not enough body fat to sustain a pregnancy (on the chart, my BMI was normal, but I have more muscle, therefore less body fat). When a doctor recommended more meat and more dairy for the extra protein to help another condition, I gained weight (enough to push my BMI above normal range, but still OK because of the extra muscle mass) and my female issues resolved. So this diet may NOT help every woman.

This review is from: The Fertile Kitchen Cookbook: Simple Recipes for Optimizing Your Fertility (Perfect Paperback)
Both of us are following this diet now. Husband has lost weight. I know that is not the right thing for fertility, but he was overweight and now his blood pressure is normal instead of prehypertension. We are healthier overall. I have so much more energy. I no longer feel like I have zero energy mid-day. I still get a little tired here and there, but then again, I am also staying up too late too. This book has changed our lives for the better. No baby yet, but to be fair to this book, the doctors say our male factor situation cannot be helped by diet anyway. I know we will be in a better situation overall by being healthier, so we continue eating on this diet. We have been eating this way now for 1.5 months! The only downside is eating organic is much more expensive. However, when I think of all the dollars we used to spend eating out at restaurants, I think we are still spending the same amount but getting better food!

This book is awesome!!! I love the chapters that tell you what to and not to eat and WHY!!!! Also love the product suggestions.
The recipes are just okay. If you cook at all you can use these as a guide and then do your own thing.
