Pregnancy and Low Carb?
Hey guys,
my doc has me on a 45g/day low carb diet. My husband and i are also trying to conceive, my doctor knows this. I have polycycstic ovarian syndrome, therefore the low carb diet is highly recommended as i could be prone to insulin resistance, heart disease, type II diabetes etc.
i was just wondering if low carb is ok DURING pregnancy, i am sure you have to up the carbs, but what's a good amount?
of course i am going to ask my doctor at my next visit, but your ideas would be appreciated.
thanks
