Disappointed

This is my third pregnancy and I don't want to gain as much weight as I have in my two previous pregnancies. I was disappointed by The Pregnancy Diet because it failed to tell me how to control my weight and cravings. I was looking for more information on eating healty filling foods, not cutting back on my meals.

My Preemie Twins Are Healthy Thanks to this "Diet"

I was pregnant with twins and really worried about eating well (and going into premature labor). After consulting with my OB I learned I don't have to eat alot more than with a singleton. I then purchased "The Pregnancy Diet". I ate 1-2 of the "Wholesome Whole-Grain Muffins" a day; these were easy to make. The "Chix Baked w/Lemon and Vegetarian Meatloaf" were my favorites too. I ended up going into premature labor. My twins were born at 29 weeks. They were excellent weights despite this. The neonatologist said I fed them well and the nurse said they were the biggest "29 weekers" she has ever seen. They are now 5, robust and healthy. People can't believe how early they were born. I recommend this book for everyone - if it can help me feed 2 babies very well, it can help you too!

Same old, same old

There is no information in this book that I haven't read or been told before. This morning I tried to make one of the recipes from the book, the "Wholesome Whole-Grain Muffins" and they were a disaster. Behan instructs that this recipe makes 18 muffins, but I used 18 muffin cups and the batter overflowed and made my kitchen smell terrible (not great when a pregnant woman is feeling nauseous anyway) and they are burnt on the edges and not quite cooked in the middles. This is coming from someone who loves to bake and has a little experience behind making muffins. The batter was very watery and the small taste I took (what I could stand after smelling burnt batter all morning) was very, very sweet. I would not recommend purchasing this book.
