The Fertility Diet

Its so hard to cut out some of these foods, especially when you've been enjoying them so long! Caffiene was the HARDEST for me to personally cut out. I probably was drinking the equivalent of a 6 pack of Diet Coke a day...sometimes more...eek.

I saw some interesting info on Fertility Authority. Read below!!

If you’re hoping to get pregnant soon or going through fertility treatments, it’s not a bad idea to make sure you’re eating a well-rounded diet that includes fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. You should also start avoiding certain food and beverages that might hinder your efforts. Overall, cutting back on sugar, fatty foods, trans-fats, artificial sweeteners and of course, stop using any recreational or diet drugs is recommended. Here are a few more specific items you want to be careful to steer clear of:

Cigarette, alcohol and drugs
Caffeine (no more than two cups per day)
Excesses of Vitamins A, C, or D
Raw or undercooked meats
Raw or undercooked eggs
Soft cheeses
Soybeans and soy foods
Swordfish, tilefish, shark, or king mackerel
