Can you eat a lower carb diet while breastfeeding?

Ka

Not necessarily lower calorie... I know we aren't supposed decrease calories much. Also, does that go for someone that's over weight? Im over weight and wasn't sure if I'm not supposed to cut calories either. Anyway... I've been trying to control my eating a bit. I ate a lower carb diet during pregnancy due to gestational diabetes. I found myself realizing that I felt more satisfied. I ate full fat ranch with salads, whole eggs, bacon etc. Now post partum, I've been eating whatever.. oatmeal in the mornings.. bread, fries, pizza while trying to eat "better". I'm never really satisfied. I had an issue with supply in the beginning due to my baby being premature and we had to supplement. I'm EBF now. Can replacing real fries with zucchini fries really do damage? It would be healthier. Or eating egg and bacon in the morning with 2 slices of toast rather then a bowl of oatmeal with nuts and fruit.
