Bradley Method/Brewer diet ladies

WildRumpus · March 2013

How many of you are following the Brewer Diet? We're starting our Bradley classes in a week, and the instructor has told me to start looking over and practicing the Brewer diet. I feel like I've been eating pretty well, and have been tracking my protein and generally get between 80-90 g/day. How important do you really think it is to follow the WHOLE thing? I feel like that's A LOT of food to pack in during a day, every day. I just can't see myself eating that much more, even if I spread it out through the day...

I loosely followed the diet. I think the diet is good because it has you eat a balanced, well rounded meal. I liked that it also focused on eating lots of protein which is important. However, it is a lot of food in general.&nbsp

I think the protein part is the most important and as long as you are eating healthy otherwise, I wouldn't worry about the rest.

I agree with the pp's. It's useful to record what you're eating and to make sure you're getting enough protein. I did fill out my Bradley nutrition sheet each week, and it was good for me to see that I needed to up my protein intake. I am not

I'm trying to follow it pretty strictly because my teacher is a stickler for it and makes us turn in nutrition sheets every week. She has seen a lot of positive outcomes from following the diet.

I'm definitely not perfect, but I

I followed it religiously with my first and my midwife said I had the thickest placenta and umbilical cord she'd ever seen which was most likely from the diet. I meant to follow it this time around, but just never did. I still eat pretty healt

I'm pretty skeptical of the claims coming from the Brewer Diet people. Mainly, the claim that that diet will prevent pre-e/HELLP. There is no evidence to back up this claim. Just people saying they did it and didn't get pre-e. Well, my first pregnancy

We started our Bradley classes 2 weeks ago. the last class was cancelled & this weeks class was cancelled also for spring break so we haven't gone over the diet portion of the book. I did read a little on it.

The Brewer Diet is why I can never really wholeheartedly tell anyone Bradley is a good idea. I think it stresses women out for dubious reasons and puts a pretty unattainable goal out there. The claims aren't based in any proven fact, and I don't think

I was just going to ask this! I'm in Hypnobabies classes and they also recommend the Brewer diet. I just started it a few days ago, and while I think the protein consumption is important I'm a little skeptical of all the claims. And a

I'm not sold on the Brewer diet. It is also advocated in Hypnobabies which is the course we're taking. However, our instructor is not a stickler for it. She wants us to consume as much protein as we comfortably can, but more importantly she emphasizes
