FEATURES

TRACK YOUR NUTRIENTS, NOT YOUR CALORIES!

FOOD: Its all about food, right? Pregnant or not, food is what gives us life. But, beyond certain foods, its their nutrient composition that truly determines how healthy they are for us. Weve all heard about the myths of food, "calories in, calories out," "it doesnt matter what you eat as long as you eat a certain amount of calories." Sound familiar? We couldnt disagree more, and so we approach food differently. We no longer want you to focus on how many calories you intake, but rather the type of calories that you choose. For that reason, you are not going to find a single food on this nutrition plan that you cant eat. There are no foods that are off limits to you. Why? Because the foods that exist on GrowBaby were hand-picked to improve your pregnancy health outcomes, and improve how well your baby develops. You will find individual foods, broken down to their simplest forms. Sound revolutionary? We just see it as doing things old school. We used to walk out to our gardens, pick onions and garlic, milk our cows and churn cream into butter, and pick fruit from our orchards. We are taking food back to the earth. There are no preset meals, there are no branded food items, just whole foods for your pregnancy health.

LOW GLYCEMIC FOOD LIST: What does this mean? It means that the foods that you get to choose from in your plan will balance your blood sugar and help you maintain your energy. Sounds good doesnt it? GrowBaby allows you to log only foods that we know will improve your health outcomes. For now, enjoy nearly 400 foods that you know will improve the health of you and your baby.

LIFESTYLE

Currently 5-10% of all infertility is stress related, making stress management an integral part of conception. A new study has shown that stress during pregnancy doesn’t only shorten gestational length, but it can affect the next four generations of your family.
