Juksey - I am actually doing the maint phase of atkins while pregnant now and there is quite a bit of variety. Basically you can have it all in moderation except for the refined products and sugar. My first two pregnancies I followed my regular high carb diet and almost doubled my weight with each. My last pregnancy I wasn't on atkins nor did I know what atkins was but on the request of my midwife I had a higher protein/ only whole grains nothing refined and no sugar diet (by dropping all the refined flours and sugar I probably cut my carbs by half) . It was the healthiest pregnancy I have had! I actually gained a 'normal' amount of weight for once. Maybe it was just luck who knows but I'm definately going to try my best to stick with it again.
