Paleo / Keto/ Low Carb High Fat Mamas?

Question

Any November ‘18 mama sticking to their nutrition lifestyles during their pregnancies?   I have been following this way of eating for over 5 years, and I don’t see this as a time to stop feeling good!
Would love to hear from other mamas in this group who want to talk about food and growing babies with plenty of good fats :) 
Would be great to swap tips and info!

Answer

Following as I’ve been sticking to paleo

Answer

I am vegan for the most part! I plan on sticking to my diet 100%!

Answer

Alert your doctor that you have been on this lifestyle diet for that long and ask them what they advise.  They may ask you to add one serving of something you normally wouldn’t eat or start you on vitamins.
 
I have PCOS and we are SUPPOSE to stick with a paleo diet.  My OB just warned me that I needed enough protein and healthy sugars and deep greens.  She actually told me to stay away from most carbs due to being overweight.
 
But this should be a case by case thing.
  
Good luck!!

Answer

I want to follow this

Answer

I have celiac disease and have been doing keto since last June. I’m going to mostly stick with it but have recently upped my carbs slightly using sweet potatoes or yams. Sort of creating my own keto/paleo diet :)

Answer

I had a prenatal checkup recently and mentioned to my doctor that I am sticking to my current way of eating, as I have done it for 10 years. She said my bloodwork is stellar, so no reason to change anything.
As for my latest LCHF/Keto cravings, I am currently living off the following go-to items that are always appealing to me, no matter how I feel (small meals multiple times a day):
- high fat Greek yogurt with chia seeds
- beef meatballs with tomato sauce and melted cheese 
- walnuts and almonds 
-suzie’s good fats bars (mint chocolate is my fav)
- eggs ANY way! 
- plain baked chicken wings (prepped in the Acti-Fri so they taste fried but aren’t! 😃)
If I get the energy soon, I’d like to make some fathead dough for either pizza 🍕 or toasted sandwiches 🥪 
Anyone else have some good LCHF/Keto meal or snack ideas or share? 😁

Answer

stopped keto when i found out. it is very unsafe for a developing fetus. i got very sick from low blood sugar.

Answer

I was keto for the past 6 months and low carb before that for 3 years. However, with the morning sickness that has gone out the window. I cannot even stand to look at bacon right now. And I LOVE bacon! As soon as I no longer feel nauseous on and off throughout the day I will be trying to go back to my keto diet.
