I'd say something like---how can eliminating junk, processed food and sugar, and eating whole foods, fresh green leafy veg, nuts, low glycemic fruits and dairy not be healthy??? Also tell them that whole fats are needed for infant brain growth (whole meaning things like butter, meat fats, nut oils etc..)

Oh!! I do say something like that.....everyday... to my patients whether breastfeeding or pregnant:)


Progress not perfection.
