[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you really think that your diet is the root cause of difficulty conceiving? are you seeing a fertility specialist? I would not go on a restrictive and meat heavy diet for this purpose. ww. pasta, rice, etc nuts, olive oils, etc--I would try to follow a Mediterranean diet. Unless you have allergies to gluten, dairy etc there is no need to do this to try to get pregnant and the risks seem to be greater for you in terms of weight loss. [/quote]

I know everyone’s body is different, but I have an autoimmune disease and my symptoms got worse when I went paleo (and dairy/gluten free); I was eating tons of veggies and fruit, but also a fair amount of animal protein. I also lost 15 pounds: from 125 to 110, at 5’6”.

After lots of research I started cutting back on animal protein (and dropped red meat altogether), really embracing the Mediterranean diet. I’ve gained back 5 pounds and seem to have plateaued at 115 with this diet. And I’m feeling much better. Obviously this could be coincidence, but I wanted to share my experience since autoimmune paleo diets are so popular right now.
