Shopping List For Ovulation Phase

Food goals for the ovulation phase:

During this phase, steady energy throughout the day is essential, so it may be best to include more fiber-rich vegetables, healthy fats, and protein. Carbohydrates in the form of squashes or sweet potatoes are also ideal sources of fuel. The same foods from the previous phase are important in this phase as well.

Foods to avoid during the ovulation phase:

  • Avoid foods that are cooked and stick to foods that are raw (i.e. salads, green smoothies, raw juices, fruits & veggies in their raw form).
  • During this phase, your body needs foods that are highest in their life force to align you with the natural hormonal flow which is necessary for conception and fertility.
  • Avoid eating too much. Eating too much will interfere with your energy levels and increase the feeling of bloat, especially if you are estrogen dominant. Pay attention to your daily tracking sheet and notice that during this time of the month, the body doesn’t need as much food.
  • Avoid sweet, sugary snacks and stick to more protein + fats + veggies in each meal.
