Keto while pregnant??

Question

Is keto safe during pregnancy? I’m concerned cause it’s high fat and I’m also concerned about weight gain cause I stopped keto ASAP after years of being on it and it’s challenging to balance my diet. What if I did keto and added more fruits and veggies to my diet? Helppppp! Lol

Answer

I was told your body cannot got into ketosis when you’re pregnant? But we’ll see what other people say. I feel like your baby/body needs carbs while preggs.

Answer

Yes it’s safe especially if that’s what your diet was before. I’d just make sure to eat Whole Foods and not the processed way of keto.

Answer

Join some keto pregnancy groups on Facebook for support. You won’t find good info on this app.

Answer

my dietician for my gestational diabetes told me to test my ketones twice a day told me being in ketosis can trigger early labour and contractions...id suggest talking to your OB first just to make sure it's safe! all doctors and health care people have different opinions on what's safe and what's not safe

Answer

It’s perfectly safe if you’re eating a well balanced and Whole Foods diet and making sure you are meeting your electrolyte needs. I’ve added more fruit (berries plus green apples) and more low carb veggies and also supplement with magnesium malate, potassium citrate in addition to my prenatals. I’m not strict keto anymore or counting carbs but I feel much better avoiding gluten and carbs.

Answer

Actual keto, hell no. But the low carb diet that the majority of people are really doing, whilst calling it keto, sure! Just make sure you’re taking supplements and getting all the proper nutrients, minerals, and b vitamins that are concentrated in whole grains and legumes.

Answer

No Keto is unsafe during pregnancy.

Answer

I've read keto isnt suggested during pregnancy but I would ask your doctor what is best. I ended up eating a more paleo diet and have kept a consistent weight, doctor approved.
