Ketooooo??

Question

Please don’t comment negative stuff but has anyone done a fixed Keto diet while pregnant ? I’ve gained 8-10 pounds back already and I’m not trying to be 100pounds heavier. At 9months I’ve been dieting for months now and got off of it when i found out.. Anyways i don’t want to hear your bullshit honest to god I’m just  trying to be healthy and not end up a whale because being pregnant isn’t an excuse to eat what you want.🙄🙄 However i eat a lot of fruits but I’m just wondering what people substitute bread with because that’s my biggest weakness is carbs!!! I crave carbs so bad right now.. just looking for someone who has done similar things & please don’t message me saying eat whatever you want because I’m not about that life that’s how you eat your self into diabetes & health issues

Answer

I have been doing weight watchers since September and now I am 7 weeks pregnant. I gained 50 lbs with my last pregnancy (and was already very overweight pre pregnancy) and I will not let that happen again. I am still eating how I ate when I did weight watchers, without the intention of losing weight but just trying to maintain the healthy lifestyle I was living. I suggest eating how you were before you found out you were pregnant, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. I definitely agree pregnancy isn’t a reason to eat what you want but I have been giving in to the occasional craving within reason. I don’t have experience with keto or no carb stuff so I guess I’m not a whole lot of help but I would keep eating how you were and add an additional snack. I believe you’re supposed to eat an extra 300 calories per day than what you were eating before. Good luck!

Answer

I was doing keto, but stopped when I found out I was pregnant (too hungry to be on a strict diet). If you are getting good carbs through fruits and veggies there are many "bread" recipes you can use to sub for the real thing. Most of them use flax seeds, almond or coconut flour. Look up the one minute keto muffin. I've even found great tasting recipes for pancakes and chocolate cupcakes! I'm on my phone in bed now, but I can send you some links from my PC later.

Answer

Full-on keto isn’t safe for pregnancy; I would recommend looking into the diet women with gestational diabetes follow. It’s definitely safe for pregnancy, and the carb counts are lower but not drastically low.

Answer

I asked my nutritionist this exact question and she said no. You and your growing babe need good cards! No processed carbs. When your body takes in carbs it becomes glucose I believe she said and your baby takes that glucose from you. So you need enough for your self and your baby.

Answer

I read somewhere that keto isn’t great during pregnancy but don’t remember why. Ask your doctor. I couldn’t do it personally, though. I can’t even stand to look at fruits, veggies and meat right now. I’m usually into whole30, which is essentially carb-free also, but I just can’t right now. Everything makes me puke that’s not a simple carb. Do your best and don’t stress. Stress is way worse than just about anything else. I plan on picking up the modified whole30 routine for my second trimester (or whenever I can look at a salad again!)
