Real Food for Pregnancy

By: Lily Nichols

Narrated by: Lily Nichols

Prenatal nutrition can be confusing. A lot of the advice you have been given about what to eat (or what not to eat) is well-meaning, but frankly, outdated or not evidenced-based. In Real Food for Pregnancy, you will get clear answers on what to eat and why, with research to back up every recommendation.

Author and specialist in prenatal nutrition Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE has taken a long and hard look at the science and discovered a wide gap between current prenatal nutrition recommendations and what foods are required for optimal health in pregnancy and for your baby's development. There has never been a more comprehensive and well-referenced resource on prenatal nutrition. With Real Food for Pregnancy as your guide, you can be confident your food and lifestyle choices support a smooth, healthy pregnancy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Essential read!!

I read this book twice while pregnant with my first daughter during Covid; adjusting my diet as I learned. My experience was that, with all these important nutrients drenching my system, I almost never had strange food cravings, almost no nausea, felt very vibrant, and had no other worrisome conditions…& that’s after 5 miscarriages & 9 years of trying. My baby was and is physically and mentally strong.
I appreciate this book more than I can say and I recommend it to people often!

Informative, thorough, easy to understand

I very much enjoyed listening to This book. Not only did Lily do a thorough job at researching, but at relaying her findings in a simple way to understand. I feel more prepared and confident in my nutrition choices for pregnancy & postpartum and will definitely be coming back to this book for reference over and over again.

Helpful advice, based on science

This is by far the most comprehensive book on nutrition for pregnancy out there. It reads almost like a text book at times, citing scientific study after study to support the advice given. (Don’t worry she includes easy to follow recaps of the info given too.) Most books on pregnancy are only anecdotal and don’t give real, healthful ways to grow a nourished baby. This is the exception!

Awesome!

Awesome and reassuring information! This is the stuff every woman looking to get pregnant needs before doing so.

Also is not only about eating, it is about mindfulness, exercise and a well round education about pregnancy. Loved it!

Fantastic!!

As a dietitian and certified diabetes educator myself, I SO appreciate Lily’s evidenced-based approach. This book provide clear guidelines based on the current research, rather than blindly adopting the Academy’s outdated recommendations. THANK YOU LILY!
