Shasta Press Fertility for Beginners: The Fertility Diet and Health Plan to Start Maximizing Your Fertility

Not great quality. Thought theyd be more receipes in this book from the cover page. Some useful info.

Excellent product and well layed out with easy tips for helping you conceive. A great read for beginners who are trying.

The beginning of this book is good for people who are just beginning to understand what effects fertility and what does not. I was disappointed with the recipe section and the recommendations for food. Some of the recommended foods are not very realistic for people that are working full-time. Things like tofu slaw with sesame tamari dressing is not enough to fill you up for lunch. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone that is looking for easy recipes. My husband and I eat healthy but this is a little out of our comfort zone. Not to say that these are not appropriate recommendations but they seem like a lot of work. If I hadn’t highlighted some things in the beginning I would be returning. Overall, it’s a good book for understanding fertility but not the best book if you’re just looking for recipes. I found the Fertility Foods Cookbook to be much more helpful and realistic about what I can find in the grocery store without going to Whole Foods.

I wasn't sure how much to expect from this book, but the writer really delivered. This is a great resource for anyone who is having trouble with fertility and wants to learn how to have a better chance at having a child. The book doesn't just suggest a few good foods, it also gives detailed info on how to take care of your body with exercise and stress relief. Fantastic information for anyone looking to conceive or just to have a better chance of a healthy pregnancy.

Fertility for Beginners sponsors a natural path to fertility and conception that is based on a whole diet, sound nutrition, and good life-style choices.The whole programs makes sense, not only for conception and pregnancy, but as a life-style change. It starts by explaining how the rigors of daily modern life can wreck havoc on the reproductive cycle (how stress, rigorous exercise, travel, advanced age and too much weight can impact pregnancy). Additionally psychological and physiological stress can delay ovulation, even as far as producing an anovulatory cycle in some women. Chapter 2 details the main theory based on FAM, which utilizes the monthly charting of primary and secondary fertility signs that your body sends when it’s most fertile (such as increased cervical mucus and basal body temperature). The fertility diet is also explained, and the details of a 7-Day eating plan to get you started are provided. Interestingly the author also uses footnotes to explain his/her assertions, as well as a list of resources for further reading.
