Does the standard extra 300 calories still apply? Is there something other than standard paleo that a lactating mother should injest, or specific things she should avoid? I'm trying to get a new client on board, but she's a little reluctant given that she's feeding her 12 week old. Any insight is appreciated. And yes, I'd love to go to Portugal again. Fabulous honeymoon there many years ago! I’ve been very curious about nutrition and lactation. Does the standard extra 300 calories still apply?

(http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance_interviews/sucker_punch_paul_chek) In it Paul Chek describes a caveman like diet in which he eliminates the nuts and seeds from his prescription due to some aspects which he compares to Gluten. "TM: Whoa, I've heard eliminate gluten before, but eliminate nuts? They're on basically every nutritional authority's "good foods" list? PC: And what research are these "authorities" basing their recommendations off of? Each other's bullshit, incestuous, agenda-driven research. I'm a clinician. I work with patients every day, and 95% of the time when I remove all gluten, nuts, and seeds, I see dramatic improvements within five days. Nuts and seeds have phytic acid in their coating, which is a known mineral and enzyme blocker and is broken down in the sprouting process. If eaten without breaking it down first, phytic acid inhibits the absorption of a variety of minerals and trace minerals, and can neutralize our own digestive enzymes. This results in many of the digestive disorders experienced by people that eat unsprouted grains. Eating nuts and seeds without soaking them in quality drinking water for at least 8-12 hours to break down the phytic acid can, and frequently does, block our digestive enzymes from functioning. This has led to un-estimable problems with digestion, which can, and often do lead to disease. I go into all this in my book How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy." Just curious to hear your thoughts on this and its characteristics in comparison to gluten. Thanks, Kyle A quick unrelated question to the above post… ran across this interview on T-Nation.
