   it’s normal and expected for a pregnant woman to gain weight to help support the caloric demands of a growing fetus, but I believe what you’re referring to is excessive weight gain from a junk-food filled processed food diet.

  So the best place to start is with my VPF+C dietary principle which ensures that she’s getting all of the macronutrients needed. If you haven’t yet watched the “Food pillar” inside the Beginner’s Health Roadmap, that’s where I would start (video linked above).

  In addition to those dietary guidelines, here is a list of nutrient-dense foods that will help guard against dietary deficiencies during pregnancy:
  • Eggs
  • Fish
  • Leafy greens
  • Full fat, organic grassfed milk products 
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Organic organ meats
  • Poultry
  • Red meats
  • Sea vegetables
  • Whole grains

  Hope this helps.
