Keto and BF

I was going to but decided to do it after I’d finished I started a week after I stopped BF. Wouldn’t recommend it during BF because your body needs carbs and keto is a depravity of exactly that. Keto is really fricken hard and finding foods you can eat until you get used to it is also hard. You drop water weight very quickly too. Your body can become weaker.

*update just read full post so have seen you know what keto is like*

If you think you can keep your water and protein high enough then that’s 100% your own judgement.

I’d never done keto before until after I finished BF and if I had of started while I was BF I don’t think I could’ve done it 🤣

Hi! Just jumping in as a Nutritional Therapist. I would definitely encourage you to wait until after your done breastfeeding/baby is passed a year/your willing to use formula.
Your body very much needs the carbs & added nutrients during this phase. If you wanted to eat more protein & focus on veggies & fruit as carbs that would be greatly helpful in losing water weight & decreasing inflammation. The transition into keto can add more stress and more stress to your adrenals as well which is not helpful postpartum & trying to get stabilize hormones & body recovery.

Like others said, I'd wait. Or if it's important to you, be okay with supplementing (that's totally fine too!!!).

Honestly I cleaner food is what you're aiming for, start with that! Fruits veggies meats nuts/seeds, whole grains, rice, butter, milk, eggs, etc! You're going to need plenty of carbs and protein to keep your supply up but you can definitely go at it a cleaner way if that's what you're looking for.
