Hello. I’m waiting for the dates of my next embryo transfer and I want to make sure I’m eating the right stuff to prep my body.
I’ve not recieved any diet advice from the clinic and there is lots of vague info online.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to seek dieting guidance?
Thank you ❤️
We consulted a nutritionist who specialises in fertility.
Hi Roselalana. This is what I recommend. Carbohydrates - Wholegrain bread and wholemeal pasta, oatmeal, brown rice. All fresh vegetables especially raw or steamed. Over boiling rids them of vitamins and minerals, pineapple juice, apricots, potatoes, all fruit and honey, beans, chickpeas and lentils. Protein - Organic meat if possible, poultry, fish, Milk and hard cheese, nuts and seeds. Fat - Extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, avocado and peanut butter, mackerel, sardines, nuts (especially Brazil and walnuts), seeds, sweet corn and sweet potatoes. The things to avoid are too much sugar, processed foods, ready meals, butter, ice cream etc. A little is OK, but not all the time. Drink plenty of water and only a little tea and coffee if feeling deprived. Cut right down or right out – alcohol and smoking. Oh and don’t forget the Folic Acid and Vitamin D! Hope this helps and all the best with the FET. Diane
thank you Diane, you just listed everything I eat so sounds like I’m doing the right things! ❤️
I was told an anti-inflammatory diet. I will say I’ve had two successful with and without diet changes
The dietary advice from clinics is shocking - I was told to 'eat a healthy diet' and 'take Folic acid' - but I've been eating wholemeal carbs as much as I can, and adding the healthy fats. not doing too well on cutting out the sugar at the moment if I'm honest...!
There are a few fertility diet books about eg Zita West you might find helpful in addition to what’s above but it sounds like you are on the right lines. x
Unpeeled apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, raspberries, mangos, guavas, and the fertility favourite pineapple are all excellent sources of fibre and vitamins in plant-based diets.
sources of protein such seitan, tofu, and mycoprotein
fatty-acid omega-3-rich seafood Did you need more reason to buy some whitefish, oysters, or clams from your neighbourhood? These regional treasures are beneficial for your fertility and heart.
oats, brown rice, bulgur, rye, and whole wheat are examples of whole grains.
