Fighting IF
The book deals specifically with failure to get pregnant because of a failure to ovulate, which the doctors say is one of the most common pregnancy-related problems. They suggest that if you’re having trouble getting pregnant you should see a doctor to rule out other problems before relying on the advice in the book, but the diet suggested here would work for anyone, male or female, trying to conceive or not, who wants to be healthier.
The book provides 10 general tips to improve the odds of conception:
1. Cut out trans fats.
2. Eat more unsaturated fats like olive oil.
3. Get more protein from vegetables and less from meat.
4. Pick whole grains over refined carbohydrates.
5. Get a serving or two of full-fat dairy daily.
6. Take a multivitamin that includes plenty of folic acid.
7. Get iron from fruits, vegetables and beans rather than meat.
8. Cut out soft drinks and get most of your liquid refreshment from water, with coffee or tea in moderation.
9. Maintain a healthy weight or lose weight if you need to.
10. Start exercising daily if you aren’t already, or pick up the pace if you do work out, unless you’re already skinny.
