Are you aware of the Weston A Price pregnancy diet recommendations? I’m not sure about you, but when I took Home Economics at secondary school, we were marked down on our exams if we did not include liver in a pregnant woman’s diet. I’ve noticed that the dietary regulations for pregnant and nursing mothers has changed since then, especially amongst the NHS. Firstly, you have to question why something that was so indoctrinated into my mind, as a child, is now classed as dangerous for a pregnant mother and her child? Things that make you go hmm!
My mother ate liver once weekly when she had me, and she breastfed me. I am not sure if I had any vaccines as a child, but I have a healthy immune system today, and I have my mother (and God) to thank for that.
So the NHS will now warn you against eating vitamin A rich foods like cod liver oil and liver. This makes me sceptical, and there is a fantastic website called Weston A Price and its Weston A Price pregnancy diet recommendations, which I want to share with you.
Article copyright: Weston A Price
Cod Liver Oil to supply 20,000 IU vitamin A and 2000 IU vitamin D per day, which is provided by 2 teaspoons high vitamin cod liver oil (Green Pasture brand).
1 quart (or 32 ounces) whole milk daily, preferably raw and from pasture-fed cows (learn more about raw milk on our website A Campaign for Real Milk,
4 tablespoons butter daily, preferably from pasture-fed cows
2 or more eggs daily, preferably from pastured chickens
Additional egg yolks daily, added to smoothies, salad dressings, scrambled eggs, etc.
3-4 ounces fresh liver, once or twice per week (If you have been told to avoid liver for fear of getting “too much Vitamin A,” be sure to read Vitamin A Saga)
Fresh seafood, 2-4 times per week, particularly wild salmon, shellfish and fish eggs
Fresh beef or lamb daily, always consumed with the fat
Oily fish or lard daily, for vitamin D
2 tablespoons coconut oil daily, used in cooking or smoothies, etc.
Lacto-fermented condiments and beverages
Bone broths used in soups, stews and sauces
Fresh vegetables and fruits
AVOID:
- Trans fatty acids (e.g., hydrogenated oils)
- Junk foods
- Commercial fried foods
- Sugar
- White flour
- Soft drinks
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Cigarettes
- Drugs (even prescription drugs)
IMPORTANT WARNING: Cod liver oil contains substantial levels of omega-3 EPA, which can cause numerous health problems, such as hemorrhaging during the birth process, if not balanced by arachidonic acid (ARA), an omega-6 fatty acid found in liver, egg yolks and meat fats. Please do not add cod liver oil to a diet that is deficient in these important animal foods. It is important to follow our diet for pregnant mothers in its entirety, not just selected parts of it.
So, I find this Weston A Price pregnancy diet interesting. I was once indoctrinated into thinking that saturated fats like coconut oil were unhealthy, until I realised that is the food industry that has totally brainwashed society, and food industries against saturated fats. Remember when McDonald’s fries used to be delicious and crispy? That was the time when they fried in beef dripping. Now the limp cold fries you get at McDonald’s are those fried in vegetable oil. Eww.
Look at the obesity problems in society, which leads to an increase in heart disease and stroke. There is an obsession in weight loss, with a myriad of books and plans like the expensive Jane Plan. Do you own research. The mainstream media, the NHS, and health experts are never going to tell you the truth. Remember, it is university that teaches them. The pharmaceutical industry needs sick people whom they can drug, and sadly fatter people increase their risk of ill health and disease that may require life long medications. It’s a win win for those who control the advice you get.
The world is getting fatter and fatter on a low fat diet when it is not saturated fats that make people fat. In fact, increasing your fat intake will ensure that your appetite is satisfied and you will be fuller for longer without the need to overeat. Did you know that margarine is actually grey before they add colorants? Compare a block of butter to a pack of flora. Look at the colour difference. Reader’s Digest taught me that.
This book on Coconut Oil by Bruce Fife will open on eyes and teach you the lies we have been taught about saturated fats.
