Announcing Eating Well When You're Expecting, providing momsto- be with a realistic approach to navigating healthily and deliciously through the nine months of pregnancy—at home, in the office, over the holidays, in restaurants. Thorough chapters are devoted to nutrition, weight gain, food safety, the postpartum diet, and how to eat when trying to conceive again. And, very exciting, the book comes with 150 contemporary, tasty, and healthy recipes that feed mom and baby well, take little time to prepare, and are gentle on queasy tummies. A departure from its predecessor, What to Eat When You’re Expecting, which has 976,000 copies in print, Eating Well loses the whole-wheatierthan- thou attitude, and comes with a light, reader-friendly tone while delivering the most up-to-date information. At the heart of the book are hundreds of pressing questions every mother-to-be has: Is it true I shouldn’t eat any food cooked with alcohol? Will the caffeine in coffee cross into my baby’s bloodstream? Help!—I’m entering my second trimester, and I’m losing weight, not gaining. Is all sushi off limits? How do I get enough calcium if I’m lactose intolerant? I keep dreaming about a hot fudge sundae— can I indulge? Guess what: the answer is yes. |

 Written on July 11, 2006 Summary: Reccomended, with reservations After tossing the predecessor to this book in the garbage, I was a bit hesitant to fork over the cash for this new edition. I'm a bit ambivalent about my investment. It is a kindler, gentler version, though not as friendly as the Dr. William Sears series of books, which I highly reccommend for all things baby and family. (I wish they had a book on pregnancy nutrition . . . sigh) I'm giving it only three stars because I feel the information could have been presented in a more organized fashion--looking up specific subjects had me digging through 4-5 differnt chapters. And there was no appendices or a bibliography. I also found an error, which while small, makes me question how well they checked their facts. Now I feel the need to verify all the information independantly, which, after spending $12.95 plus tax I find vexing. Page 82 claims that a half a cup of grapes contains 200 calories! Look it up yourself, but I'm pretty darn sure that 1 whole cup has only 60-100 calories. Hopefully pregnant women everywhere won't give up grapes! Lowfat frozen yogurt has only 120-130 calories per half cup, so this must be wrong. I'll be keeping my eye out for more mistakes. Sadly, this is the only book out there (that I could find) on pregnancy and nutrition, and although I'm not pleased with it entirely, it is better than "What to Eat When You're Expecting" and the recipes look edible. Go ahead buy it, check your facts and please, please, any gifted writer/dieticians out there--Start Writing!  Written on March 14, 2006 Summary: great book This book has great info. and great recipes. I have made a few and My family really likes them. I'm greatful for a book that has info and recipes that are easy to use. Written on January 31, 2006 Summary: Informative Excellent book to become familiar with eating habits during pregnancy. Most of the time, I eat healthy enough, but this gave me the opportunity to see what I might be missing and how it would effect the health and development of my growing child. Highly recommended, as are all of the "What to expect" books. Written on January 1, 2006 Summary: Much better than its predecessor I read "What to eat when you're expecting" in preparation for becoming pregnant, and was overwhelmed by all the dos and do nots. This book is much more user friendly- it gives examples of how to squeeze in all those required foods in a normal day, and how to substitute realistically. Huge improvement over the first book. Written on June 28, 2005 Summary: Amazing recipes, packed with info on eating healthy --without being guilt-inducing Wow -- what a great book!!! I'm newly pregnant and I really want to make sure I'm eating good food for my baby, especailly since I'm so nauseous all the time. I saw this book in the bookstore and bought it... and am I glad I did. It's packed with info about nutrition during pregnancy. It's funny and it's a really easy to read book -- plus it doesn't make you feel bad if you miss a few days of eating healthy or if you eat some unhealthy food every once in a while. The first chapter tells you why it's important to eat nutritious food. The second chapter is so great because it goes through all the pregnancy symptoms and gives advice on exactly what to do for them in terms of food. Too nauseaous to eat (my problem) -- here are some tips. What to do about the food cravings (especially when you're craving something totally unhealthy). But the best thing is that it doesn't make you feel guilty if you do crave ice cream or cake or whatever. It recognizes that sometimes the only thing I can eat is potato chips, and it doesn't make me feel like I'm hurting my baby! But it still gives you the ideal of what you should eat (there's a really funny section later on called "ideal...get real" that totally gets this point across. Plus it makes you realize you probably are eating healthy for the most aprt anyway). I love that. The next chapter goes through weight gain and the pregnancy diet telling you what you should be eating each day. The best thing is that the book has tons of lists of different foods -- and the serving amounts -- so figuring out how much to eat is no big deal. Then there's a great chapter on being an expectant gourmet. It goes through all the different types of food that you can eat while you're pregnant. I learned so much from that chapter. Who knew there were so many different types of lettuces! There's also stuff on what foods to avoid when you're pregnant, and how to keep your food safe. Also sections on eating while you're working with great tips on eating when you're sick, when you're traveling, and what you can eat when you're in a restuarant. Then the best part is the recipes -- it's half the book! Totally yummy. I already made the ginger and carrot muffins (they say ginger is good for morning sickness) and the Chicken Burgers with Mango relish. The recipes are all healthy -- but so good and they totally don't taste like health food stuff-- even my husband (mr. very picky eater) thought the muffins were great. And what's great is that I was able to eat them too even with my nausea! There are so many good looking recipes, I don't know which ones to try first (I think I'm going to try the Pork Medallions with arugula and Tomatoes next). Totally get this book if you're pregnant and want to eat healthy and eat good food. I highly recommend it and am telling all my friends to get it too! Even the non pregnant ones! |
