Do snack attacks hit you on a regular basis? If so

Do snack attacks hit you on a regular basis? If so, there’s a good chance the plate portions of your meals aren’t what they should be. Having the most nutrient dense foods in your diet is crucial as the building blocks for your hormones and egg quality.

When I was pregnant with both of my kids, I craved

When I was pregnant with both of my kids, I craved fatty foods, especially those with mayo! My favorite treat was chicken salad on a croissant! I also loved eggs, Greek yogurt, cheese and cottage cheese.
The common element between all of these foods? Fat! My body was working hard to grow a human, needed more calories a day (typically 300-400 more, depending on trimester), and fats are the most calorie dense food. Calorie density refers to the amount of calories in a food per portion. Vegetables are the least calorie dense food. For example, mayo has about 100 calories per tablespoon. Spinach has about 7 calories per cup, so you would have to eat about 14 cups of spinach to equal the calories in one tablespoon of mayo. Fats are also so important as building blocks for hormone production.
When women are #TTC and working on balancing their hormones we will talk about what healthy fats to include in their diet. Granted mayo isn't what I'd typically categorize as a 'healthy" fat, but sometimes you've just got to give in to a craving!

I can help plant the seeds that will make your family grow… in more ways than one! Seed cycling is a gentle means of helping your body naturally balance and align with the phases of the menstrual cycle through your diet. The goal of this approach is to consume seeds that encourage the production of estrogen during your follicular phase and seeds that encourage the production of progesterone during your luteal phase.
