Feed the Belly: The Pregnant Mom's Healthy Eating Guide

From School Library Journal

Guides on food advice during pregnancy abound, and expectant mom and dietitian Largeman-Roth’s contribution covers all the basics: the nutrients you need when you’re trying to conceive, foods to avoid, and foods that offer the most nutrition for mom and baby. But this book tries to become more than just a guide filled with dos and don’ts. It has a practical streak to it, including tips for eating out, basic kitchen training, and a whole chapter on healthy weight gain and exercising for two. There is also a brief chapter with advice specifically for women with food allergies. The recipe section offers up some familiar dishes with twists that make them a bit healthier (e.g., banana bread with flaxseed and meatloaf with apple cider vinegar) and some spicier options for those who crave curry but don’t want all the sodium and oil often present in takeout. A good book for expectant moms who aren’t as experimental in their food choices but want some ( Available at Amazon Check Price Now! )

Pump Energy Food, The

From Publishers Weekly

The Pump Energy Food has been serving health-minded Manhattanites high-protein fare since 1997, well before “low carb” became the mantra of the day. This collection of recipes and healthy-eating tips from the restaurant’s owners is one of the stronger offerings on today’s high-protein cookbook shelf: it explains how to make filling, flavorful foods and has a friendly, community feel to it, thanks in part to the numerous recipe introductions featuring commentary by the authors on customers’ reactions to the dishes. The Kapelonises, who now operate four Pump restaurants in New York, list the “right foods” and the “wrong foods,” and anyone who’s been paying moderate attention to current diet crazes won’t be surprised to find fish, chicken, turkey, egg whites, beans, nuts and brown rice on the “right” list, and white bread, white pasta, fried foods, butter and sugary beverages on the “wrong” list. Where the book shines is in its recipes, which cover a ( Available at Amazon Check Price Now! )
