Hey! If you read through the note on fats under macronutrients, you’ll see I recommend full-fat dairy, and this is for both preconception and pregnancy. Your need for fat soluble vitamins increases during pregnancy, and without the fat in the dairy, we can’t absorb these nutrients fully, therefore, the fat is necessary and actually leaves the product less processed since low-fat dairy products are processed to remove the fat that is naturally there. I hope that helps explain a bit. Not to mention, there is science to support full-fat dairy helping women get pregnant!
