There are so many forums, books, recipes etc. on what to eat when trying to conceive and I believe some of that may be helpful but everything in moderation. Initially, I thought I would go on crazy diets and try to get to a certain size, eat certain things and stay away from food I loved. However, none of that brought me what I wanted. On the flip side, I developed an affinity for emotional eating. Doing all of those things did not help me, so I rationed in my mind that I am going to eat to make me feel better. Of course, eating like that did not make me feel better, I felt worse. Then I beat myself up because I knew better and on and on it went.
In hindsight, eating and moving make me feel good. Me, fighting against that was me being angry and taking it out on myself. I am at my best when I put things in my body that fuel me. There is no secret potion only you know what is best for you. Protein keeps me fuller longer, fruits and veggies give me energy and water is the best things we can drink and never get enough of.
“But none of that brought me what I wanted.”
There are certain foods that may assist with conceiving, but I do not buy into the school of thought that eating certain foods can make you pregnant. In combination with a number of different things, it can certainly help. The best advice is to eat what makes you feel beautiful on the inside. I read a quote that said, "eating well is a sign of self-respect". And I agree, when we love ourselves it shows in every aspect of our lives.
