I heard that you have to stay away from caffeine and chocalate.

Two big ones that I've avoided:
- fish with mercury like swordfish, tuna, king mackarel
- deli meats (all cold cuts unless they're steaming hot, and hot dogs too)

Some women do eat the above in moderation, like a couple of times a month I guess. I had 3 turkey sandwiches so far. Caffeine has shown to be dangerous if taken in excessive amounts only. I still drink one cup of tea/coffee a day.

You should also avoid things made with artificial sweetener

According to my Doctor a good rule of thumb is to not eat meats that are not packaged. Deli meats and chesses are out. Also, only pasturized. No fresh mozzellera etc. Fish is ok in the right quantities. Limit your caffiene. Hope that helps. Good Luck!!!
