Since I started incorporating Peat's ideas into my diet, especially replacing almost all meat with fruits and occasionally potatoes, and drastically cutting PUFA intake, I regained fertility despite nursing a 2.5 year old toddler (her nursing pattern did not change while my diet did). I also take aspirin, niacinamide, and thyroid. Ordered progest-e and will start that soon.
I'm looking to get pregnant again soon, and would like to know whether there are pregnant women here, or any women trying to conceive following Peat? Did you continue with your diet and supplements while trying to conceive and throughout pregnancy? Do you follow the recommendations on folic acid, iron, and prenatal vitamins, and lower caffeine intake?
In my last pregnancy, I had morning sickness up to 13 weeks so ate a lot of starchy foods like rice and noodles because all meat, eggs, etc made me sick. The remaining months were pretty easy. Because I couldn't eat a lot, so ended up eating low carb, moderate protein, moderate fat.. a lot of beef especially. I took folic acid, iron supplements, and fish oil recommended by my ob/gyn. No caffeine throughout. My baby was born healthy at 7.04lb but with jaundice. Prior to the pregnancy I had PCOS and other infertility struggles.
