Any suggestions for keto meals while pregnant?

Question

Specific examples of what you would eat in a typical day on keto diet. I have been advised by my ob dr to lose 15 pounds this pregnancy. Starting weight 245. Gained 50 with last pregnancy. Didn't lose any pp. he's extremely concerned that I will gain another 50-60. I'm only 7 months post partum. I am concerned as well. Just wondering if anyone would share what they eat?

Answer

I’d be very careful if you’re considering a keto diet during pregnancy. High levels of ketones can cause damage to the baby and effect IQ levels. They say low levels may not be a problem. I personally wouldn’t risk it and maybe would look for a different dietary plan for pregnancy.  At the very least monitor your ketone levels with keto sticks.

Answer

There’s actually a Facebook group for keto pregnancy! Join ketogenic Success and ketogenic Kitchen on Facebook and they should have the links to the pregnancy related group, you can always ask the group too, theres like 250 thousand people on the site and your questions will be answered immediately. 
Good luck! 
I wouldn’t be able to not have my bread or my carbs during pregnancy so I didn’t even attempt it but I am looking forward to getting back into it to lose my pregnancy weight postpartum!

Answer

This thread has been very helpful. I sucessfully lost 25lbs on the keto lifestyle prior to my pregnancy. But then heard that it is not suitable for pregnancy. I guess if I eat carbs they should be complex carbs and whole wheat.

Answer

Keto is not safe for pregnancy. Look into some thing else, maybe whole 30.
