The Brewer Pregnancy Diet

from Diet Detox · host Mind-Body Fitness with Margaret Barry

Wait a minute…the Diet Detox gals are promoting a diet?? When the “diet” in question is all about hitting your minimum nutritional requirements during pregnancy, the answer is YES! We both used the Brewer diet during our second pregnancies and were able to avoid so many of the complications that plagued our first pregnancies. By encouraging pregnant women to eat plenty of protein, calories and salt, the Brewer diet supports the mother’s blood volume expansion of 40%-60 that needs to happen during every pregnancy. Join us today as we talk about the physiology of blood expansion, the importance of protein in pregnancy, the crucial role of salt in a pregnant woman’s diet, unrestricted weight gain and much more!
