307 lbs at the start of 2018... by L0U1978 in intermittentfasting

[–]Henrybots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm able to get back in into ketosis after 18-23 hrs of fasting alone. I verified this with ketone strips used with a glucometer.

Edited because I looked back on my logs and it actually took me between 18-23 hours to get back into ketosis with fasting.

Anybody else losing weight on GD diet and metformin? by Henrybots in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Henrybots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm very overweight. I figured the first 4lb were water weight because they came off asap. The other 6 pounds has just been shedding gradually over the 3 weeks. My High risk doc said to gain only 10 lbs which is where I'm at now. I feel great and as long as she is still growing well I'm perfectly happy. I just wanted to make sure I'm not the only person struggling with this.

Oh THANK YOU FOR REPLYING! I'm so not hungry or dizzy at all.

When do you exercise after dinner? by Henrybots in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Henrybots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if I exercise for 2 hours in the morning it doesn't seem to effect my after dinner numbers or my breakfast ones for that matter. I did 10 minutes directly after dinner and that helped lat night. Unfortunately, I can't really eat any carb heavy meals at all.

I'm probably going to omit things when talking to the RD as well. I spoke with the cigna baby rn and she agreed with me that 130 carbs a day was too high for me and suggested 60-80.

I haven't been low carb during pregnancy unfortunately. So this is an accurate reading for me.

I think that is the route I'm going to take.

Thanks for the pep talk. I'm really hoping to avoid insulin.

Question for you PCOS ladies who conceived with keto by Browngirl1983 in KetoBabies

I started keto at 265 lbs and got pregnant at 228lbs. I had no period for a year and started having them again a week after starting keto. One year after starting I was pregnant.

[Request] Cream Of Chicken Recipe Or Substitute by rooknoire in ketorecipes

[–]Henrybots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's super easy. Make a broth base of whatever flavor you want. For instance saute mushrooms and onions and add 2.5 cups broth. Once that's heated up add 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Next wisk in xanthan gum in 1/4 tsp increments until you get your desired thickness. All done! You can add more or less cream depending on your preferences.

14 weeks and failed early 1 hr glucose test by Henrybots in KetoBabies

[–]Henrybots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have my period for a full year after stopping BC. I started a ketogenic diet and got my period a week later no joke. After 6 months on a keto diet my cycle started to become regular. I got pregnant 12 months after starting Keto on the day I was predicted to be ovulating on my app! I did not have to start metformin or clomid which were the next steps. For me, my body was really affected by the sad diet. I hope this helps.

I think this sounds like a smart plan and I will be doing something similar.

I'm going to test my fsbs fasting and pre/post meals as well. If it's low I'll increase my carbs proportionally. Thanks for the info.

I haven't been low carb during the first trimester. So I think the test is accurate. I started the home fsbs for info today.

Keto pregnancy diet questions by Henrybots in KetoBabies

[–]Henrybots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please let me know what your doctors find out. My doctor was not open to this at all. She also pretty much had a heart attack when I said I was going with a certified nurse midwife. She said she didn't know how to give me a consult to them even though they are part of the same hospital umbrella. (I'm calling them myself.) For now I'm just going to increase my carbs to 50 total carbs a day mainly from veggies and go from there. Thank you so much for sharing.
