Healthy Pregnancy Super Foods eBook: Want to Win a Copy?

February 2, 2011     Keeper of the Home

Am I the only one who has begun a pregnancy with a super-nutritious daily checklist of foods to eat posted on my fridge? 2 servings of orange fruits or veggies, 2 servings of green veggies, 4 servings of dairy, 100 grams of protein.

It was with the very best intentions that I made just such a list (but far longer than the version above!) during my first pregnancy. I was determined to eat only the most excellent foods to nurture my sweet baby and myself during those 9 months. The idea was to ensure a varied and nutrient-dense selection of foods, making every bite count and meeting all of the minimum requirements (and then some).

The problem with my approach was that life happens. First trimester is not exactly a time when most mamas find it easy to meet any pre-determined eating requirements. Getting food down is accomplishment enough most days. Even later in pregnancy when nausea subsides and appetite returns, it’s difficult to force yourself to eat according to such a rigid checklist. You spend the day out with friends, you get the flu, you just really want to have pizza instead of chicken pot pie with salad.

As a mom who has been there 3 times myself, I’m really excited to recommend this new ebook to you, guaranteed to make pregnancy nutrition a whole lot simpler! Healthy Pregnancy Super Foods is intended to make it easy to get all those oh-so-important nutrients for both baby and yourself, minus all the stress and checklists. I wish I had read this back when that first stick turned blue, and I could have kissed my “checking-it-off” days good-bye.

I asked Kate, the author of Healthy Pregnancy Super Foods, to introduce it to you. Here’s what she had to say:

“If you have ever read a book about pregnancy nutrition, you know how confusing it can be. There are several different sources out there about what to eat, what to avoid, how much you need of certain foods, etc. Lots of books have charts on particular nutrients, food groups, foods that belong to multiple groups, etc. To follow these types of plans, you pretty much need a spreadsheet tacked to your fridge telling you exactly what to eat everyday! For many women, this just becomes too much and they abandon the idea of a perfect diet altogether.

It doesn’t have to be that way. You can eat well without worrying about so much information. In Healthy Pregnancy Super Foods, you have only two rules: 1) Don’t eat junk food, and 2) Eat super foods. The super foods were chosen because each has so many different nutrients. Each fulfills several requirements everyday. But you don’t even need to worry about that. If you fill your diet with super foods, even if morning sickness forces you to limit to only a few, you’ll get what you need without stress.

This book also contains 31 delicious recipes that use several super foods each, for optimal and tasty nutrition! There’s even a section on “Sneaky Ways to Eat Super Foods,” just in case there are some you just don’t think you can take. If you’re looking for the simplest possible method of pregnancy nutrition, this book is it.

Not pregnant? We could all use more super foods in our diet, and these recipes are delicious and family-friendly!”

Want to win a copy for yourself? I have 6 copies of Healthy Pregnancy Super Foods to give away!

    What I find most challenging about pregnancy nutrition changes during pregnancy…in the first trimester it’s definitely just eating ANYTHING. 😛 The second trimester I find it hard to make sure to eat enough protein, and now, in my third trimester (pregnant with our second little one), I’m focusing on eating a lot of iron-rich foods, timed so that dairy/calcium doesn’t interfere, since I just found out that my iron is low. 😛

    I think the most challenging thing is wanting to either a) eat at all or b)eat HEALTHY. With both of my pregnancies I had dire junk food cravings–salty french fries with my son and chocolate milkshakes with my daughter!! That was a hard beast to tame, but luckily my husband let me ‘indulge’ only once in a rare while! 🙂

    I find it challenging because things you LOVED one day, you HATE the next and can’t even think of forcing down. Then when you get past the 1st trimester mess…on come the ice cream cravings. OY! After becoming super sick with my first son, and delivering 5 weeks early, I am trying hard to do better this time around.

THe kids always eat first so, yeah….it’d be wonderful to figure out HOW to feed us all (special diets and all) with good nutrition AND on a tight budget (impossible?) 🙂

    This sounds like a great book! I have found nutrition quite difficult during this pregnancy. Guess you could say ignorance was bliss with my daughter. In the 1st trimester, I did fairly okay. Then the second trimester and the holidays came. My cravings for sugar and then being around those items made it extremely hard to avoid. Since the New Year, I’ve been trying to fight the urges but it is NOT easy! As I enter the third trimester this week, I really hope to get the sugar out and the good back in!

    What I find most challenging about pregnancy nutrition is not feeling like eating at all from about 5wks till about 12 or 13wks due to feeling sick to my stomach all the time… But needing to keep my blood sugar up so that I don’t feel even sicker…

    I’d love to get the ebook as I actually came across it this morning from another source and was thinking that it was something that I’d like as it would help me eat better which would also make me feel better. Plus I’m a total pregnancy/birth junkie who loves reading everything about the two that I can get my hands on!

    February 2, 2011 at 5:09 PM

    I found out with my second that I’m much better off if I start the day with protein. Unfortunately, I hate eggs, so I ended up eating chicken tenders (out of a bag of frozen breaded chicken) every morning! There has to be a healthier way. 🙂

    Hardest thing is eating through morning sickness. I get all day morning sickness for the firstv 6 months of pregnancy. No fun! I know I am supposed to eat a protein every 2 hours but nuts and cheese get really boring after like a week.

    The most challenging thing about pregnancy nutrition is figuring out what your body is actually craving when it’s doing weird things. This last pregnancy I needed more acid in my stomach so my food would actually digest. I couldn’t figure out why I was craving coffee, tomato products, oranges and other such acidic items. It made it so hard to figure out what to eat (other than coffee, tomatoes, and oranges).

    The two hardest things I’ve found so far with my first pregnancy was just finding something I could eat in the first trimester and now it’s finding the energy to cook. Working all day and coming home at 6 with nothing made makes it really hard to make food. I fight fast food urges almost every night!

  48. Susan

    The most challenging thing about pregnancy nutrition for me is just knowing what to eat, how much to eat, ect.

  55. Jill

    February 2, 2011 at 5:27 PM

    The hardest part by far for me so far is just eating ANYTHING at all. I’m at the end of my first trimester, and the nausea has been crippling. I, too, had every intention of eating tons of protein, fruits, and veggies, and it seems like all I can handle is grilled cheese and chicken soup!

    With my last pregnancy I had all day sickness until almost 20 weeks…knowing which foods were best to purchase and have on hand would have been very helpful. I ate alot of maple smoked salmon.

  59. Katy

    February 2, 2011 at 5:34 PM

    We are starting to think more seriously about what we eat as we wait and pray for another little one. I find a good whole food multi-vitamin to be very important such as Vitamin Code or Standard Process.

    The challenge of eating healthy is my laziness of not wanting to spend the few extra minutes to clean, cut, and prepare the fruits and veggies. I also become apathetic in planning meals. The only way I “choose” the healthy meals and snacks is if I predetermine to eat them. It is also difficult to remain on a very tight grocery budget and eat organic. I know there is a way to keep costs low, but it takes a lot of time.

    February 2, 2011 at 5:35 PM

    I think this would be a fantastic resource for me. Im not too versed on ‘superfoods’ and Im always looking at how I can improve my diet and fill nutritional gaps. The first trimester was incredibly hard on my body so I feel Im making up for lost time, only problem is cravings and comfort foods often try to steer me wrong. And given its my second baby, I find myself excusing poor eating bc I dont feel nearly as paranoid as the first time around. But having such a handy resource gives me no excuse not to find the best for my body and baby <3

    The first time around it was hard to eat healthy because I had three other pregnant friends at work and we all lived off junk food. The second time I was so sick and then too tired running around after my first child to eat as well as I should (although I didn’t eat junk that time). So for number 3, I would love to plan ahead and this book would be the perfect inspiration for me to continue my healthy eating throughout my future pregnancy 🙂

    i would LOVE to win a copy of this book! i think nutrition in pregnancy is especially confusing. with my first, i would read things and then ask my midwife and she would contradict the (conservative, non-mainstream) info i was getting. i never really knew what i should truly be eating, aside from not eating junk. this would be such a great resource as we’re hoping to grow our family!

    The toughest part about eating well during pregnancy is having the energy to cook! With my first pregnancy I was working full time as a teacher. When I got home in the afternoons, if I sat on the couch, I literally could not get up. Thankfully, my husband was so understanding and spoiled me. He insisted I stay on the couch while he cooked.

    The hardest thing…. the energy it takes to fix something nutritious, even after the nausea is gone. It’s so much easier to grab something with very little nutrients.
    This is my 4th pregnancy but my first since learning to eat Real Food. I’m comitted to giving me and my baby a better start by nourishing us with good stuff.

    My problem in pregnancy is that I want the healthy stuff until I’m knocked over with morning sickness, then all I want is the junk that will make me feel worse. I also forget to drink water throughout the day, so I get dehydrated easily.

    I think it is hard to nourish oneself during pregnancy if the mom has other little ones to take care of. It’s hard for me to get enough protein since we don’t really keep nuts in our house due to one of our children being severely allergic. It would be nice to have a resource book to go to remind myself of super nutrition.

    Hi, well this is my first time actually entering for a giveaway! I am pregnant with our third, only about 6 weeks along. I embrace a nourishing kitchen and have been loving your blog and the many others yours has led me to. Ok so to answer your question…the challenging thing for me is my constant craving of carbs, I am gluten intolerant and suddenly I want nothing more than a bowl of lucky charms or a Big Mac. I would love to understand why these strange unhealthy cravings come to be, your brain says no but then what is saying yes….?!!! I am dealing with a bit of an energy crisis with this pregnancy and would love some food choices that are affordable, easy and healthy…seems these days those three words dont mingle well together! Thanks and keep up the inspiration!
    Joy!

    1. I already have three children (4, almost 3, and 13 months). I did not know about “real food” at the time and we were moving towards a more vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. Having my three so close together did a number on my body and my last child was not only born two weeks early, but spent most of those next two weeks in a neo-natal intensive care unit. I want to do much better for Baby #4 – whenever s/he comes.

    I would LOVE this ebook!! I am currently expecting baby#4. With my first I totally had the list and the stress. So much so that I felt others made fun of me! With my 2nd I gave in, and my 3rd was so unexpected and I was so crummy feeling I didn’t eat well at all. God gave my 3 healthy babies none the less! With this 4th I am striving for exactly what you were talking about. Good, if not, great, nutrition with little stress. My biggest challenge is having 3 littles ones to care for, and not much time or energy for myself!

    During my first pregnancy, I had such strong cravings and food aversions, I did not know what to eat. I remember craving red meat and the quickest way for me to get my daily fix was to go to a fast food joint for a burger-I really wish I had known better. I also had strong sugar cravings and went out of control with desserts. To say the least, I ate horrible throughout my pregnancy and now I wish I didn’t. I have made so many changes since my daughter was born and I want to eat so much better with my next pregnancy. I’d love to win this book to give me better guidance in my food choices.

    My biggest challenge when I was preg with my twins was exhaustion. I only had one instance of “morning sickness” but the first 3-4 months I was so tired I couldn’t hardly keep my eye just an hour or two after waking up in the first place. Once that started to pass one of my boys settled high up in the ribs and left a near permanent bruise. Standing up or even sitting in one position for very long was very painful. Between those things I tried to just not eat things that I knew were “bad” but putting energy into wholesome, homemade choices was really hard to do.

For some reason with both pregnancies I had an aversion to vegetables and it was difficult for me to want to eat them or prepare them for myself! I also found it hard to want to eat other healthy foods (though not as hard as veggies) because it was easy to say, “oh well, I’m pregnant!”

    The reason I’d love to win a copy of this awesome book is because my husband and I plan to try for our first child in the coming months, and with some of the food intolerances I’m discovering I have it would be great to use this book as a resource for healthy foods I can definitely focus on during the critical (and blessed) months of pregnancy! 🙂

    We are TTC right now and I would LOVE a copy of this book! The hardest thing about eating right for me with my last pregnancy was that I was nauseous ALL DAY, and eating actually made it worse, so I mostly just starved.

    The hardest thing about pregnancy nutrition is eating liver. There aren’t many foods that I don’t like. But liver is one of them. I think there are some ways to hide it in meat dishes. I will have to research that!

    In my first trimester of each pregnancy so far, including the ones I’ve lost, I get so very sick. I can’t even hold water down until well into the 5th month, and once it lasted all nine months. My hope would be that this book would shed some light on what I could try prior to pregnancy that would maybe ease this first trimester struggle.

I’m surprised my kids never came out looking like a Hostess cherry pie. LOL However, none of them can stand cherries, hmmmm.. Thank you for the awesome giveaway.

    I am 11 weeks into my third pregnancy and would love any suggestions for relaxing and eating good foods for my unborn child. Although we general eat a lot of whole foods I find I am so exhausted and it’s hard to do some of the additional steps. Also I find when I am pregnant I crave the junk I never eat and am way more susceptible to all the stupid junk food ads, and that is so unlike me when I am not pregnant. The time you should be eating better and it’s harder to eat even the healthy foods I usually eat. Also, I think with two other little ones 3 and under around her I find it difficult to really get enough food anyways…it’s my usual problem when I am not pregnant, but it is even more of a problem now that I am pregnant again.

    What I find most challenging about pregnancy nutrition is eating – at all, especially in the mornings. I also tend to have very sugary-type cravings that end up making me feel blah (of course!).

    My husband and I are currently *trying* for our fourth, and I know I did not have the best nutrition with my first 3 girls. I want to make sure I’m a healthy momma so it can help my (hopefully) baby #4 a healthier baby!

Here I am, 19 weeks into number three and I’ve already gained 18 pounds! My little ones are three yrs (this months) and 16 months so time and energy are also factors. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

    I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and I had great intentions of eating healthy during my first trimester. I found it so difficult because I had no energy to cook and my husband works late into the evening. However, when I became naseus, I needed to eat something… anything… in order to feel better. I am not proud of what I have eaten thus far in my pregnancy. I am now feeling more like myself so I plan on cooking and planning meals again.

  302. Beth

    February 7, 2011 at 1:22 PM

    I can hardly keep anything down in the first trimester, and the things that do sound appealing are usually not the healthiest. I always worry that I am not doing enough to nourish the baby! I would love to find out more about these pregnancy superfoods.
