Running Moms successful with low carb pregnancy diet?

Question

Hey Ladies,
I'm wondering if there are any running Mammas who were able to continue running during pregnancy AFTER being put on a low carb diet. I'm 16 weeks and have gestational diabetes, so my doctor put me on an 1800 calorie 50 carb/day diet (I did Paleo before which is why the diet change had to be more Atkins-like). I haven't had the energy to run. Any suggestions? My doctor said I'd have to see how I feel.

Answer

I always increased my intake of protein and healthy fats when I needed to decrease my carbs and it helps.

Answer

Just a suggestion as I'm no doctor but when I was competing horses in the summer (hence sweating a ton) & eating low carb my sodium level became very low, and my doc said to eat more salty things! Sodium and energy levels normalized when I did😊

Answer

I struggled to walk up a steep hill at 16 weeks never mind running :) ive always been active but no way I'd have chosen my bed or a walk over a run
