If you ate a low carb diet while pregnant how did it affect your weight gain?

I ate low carb maintenance levels during my pregnancy. I gained 21 lbs and delivered a 8lb baby. Two weeks later all the weight was gone. HTH

That is good to know!

I didn't make it to my goal weight so I'm still overweight but I think that if I keep LC I won't gain too much.

Did your doctor approve?

Yes, my DR thought it was great that I was eating whole grains, meat, fruit, yogurt, nuts & eggs. Way better for the baby, than processed junk food.

Hello ladies! I've come here looking for info on eating LC. I'm 17 weeks, I have the book, and am looking for advice before I start gaining weight.

LESESKI Did you feel queasy at all on maintenance levels? It seems whenever I try to stick with LC my nausea is terrible.

Is there anyone who did not eat grains and/or dairy during their pregnancy?

Grains make me bloated and sleepy. I'm afraid to add them in.

Dairy makes me bloated.
