[Mindy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this book. The diet is a little extreme, but for the most part it follows ever thing my acupuncturist, and other fertility books have said. It suggest a complete vegan diet. Which is not for me, so I don't follow that part exactly. But I really like how this book is set up. It gives you list of what not to eat and what not to do. Then it tells you what you can eat and why to eat it. Then the best part is in the back it gives you a bunch of recipes for the stuff you can it. (So, far everyone I've made has been really good.)

Simple, straightforward writing makes this book one of the best (albeit also one of the shortest) of its ken. Although written 10 years ago, much of the information contained therein is still valid.

An excellent guide book of what to eat and what to avoid if you plan to conceive. Excellent writing with no nonsense advise, no unnecessary info. Love this book!
