I ws just curious to find out if any of you have read this book (from one of the ads on the top of the website) and if so, was it helpful?
I want to buy it (it looks good and informative) but I would love to hear from others who have read it.

My husband just got it for me for chanuka!
(I told him to  )
I like it alot so far. I'm only up to the 3rd chapter or so, but it's just what I need.
It's not a specific diet. It helps you along with whatever diet you choose to go on. It has a lot of practical tips geared to a frum woman's lifestyle.
I just don't understand why she doesn't include anything about dieting while pregnant/nursing. I feel like that's a glaring ommission for a book written for Jewish women.

my sister used to diet while nursing. I wasn't surprised that the poor baby wasn't gaining either. Her milk was affected by it. For the next baby, she didn't diet, and the nursing went well. and yeah, she did gain herself too

You can diet while nursing! You just have to be smart about it.
First, you have make dairy a priority. I'm lactose intolerant but I can eat cheese, yogurt, and drink Lactaid milk (I tend to go for Soy Milk though).
Second, lots of fruit and veggies (you'd have to be careful with the dark greens though). I like fruity salads.
Third, nuts are very good for you and provide lots of protein.
Fourth, stick with chicken and fish. I'm allergic to most fish so that was out. I had a lot of boneless/skinless chicken breasts.
Fifth, don't starve yourself. It's better to graze and eats lots of small meals throughout the day, that stuff your face at the end of the day.
Last but not least, drink plenty of water. Good to keep milk supply up and helps you lose weight too.
