Forks over knives family every parent's guide to raising healthy, happy kids on a whole-food, plant-based diet

Forks Over Knives Family OUR STORY: A Plant-Based Pregnancy Means More Energy I certainly can't speak for every whole-food, plant-based mother ever, but based on my own pregnancies I can personally vouch for some pretty great benefits to this lifestyle. Not only did I experience everything listed on these pages, I also felt energetic all the way through both pregnancies. Sure, I was tired, but I was still able to do some form of exercise, such as walking, hiking, or using the elliptical machine every day until the time my water broke. After our second daughter, Jordan, was born, I could get up and go almost immediately. Jordan even joined her older sister, Kylee, at the park when she was only two days old! I'm pretty sure Jordan doesn't remember it, but I certainly do, and it was wonderful.
