Message: <blockquote data-quote="M80" data-source="post: 1386606" data-attributes="member: 348697">Hi<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I have experience of going extremely low carb and being pregnant, but not at the same time. This is because for me I felt a lack of energy and my body seemed unable to repair on very low carb.(like cuts etc) Later I read on this forum that when you are on very little carb, you have to use protein as replacement energy for carb, leaving not much protein for repair. However, I am with you on being aware of your carbs, and I am using around 100 grams per day (my weight would be around 60 kg) Some times back in the day, I could have as little as 5 gram in one day.Yes, I did not need much insulin, however,it came at a cost. Minerals and vitamins, and also enzymes, are important and although I agree you do not need 5 fruits a day, I think I did not get enough vitamin c on LCHF.High fat though,is something I absolutely support because also too much protein is not good.It is slow to digest and makes me feel sluggish. I had one really good nurse but I also got into an argument with one.Ironically about porridge. I find it keeps bs stable for a long time and really makes me feel full for a long time.I do need a solid insulin dose for it but once I know what dose and do that I see no issue with that.(I am type one). Totally understand the egg issue, I actually became intolerant to eggs because on the low carb I ate soon many of them. The porridge argument was her commenting why I had it for lunch.I was just so annoyed why not? Are there laws about porridge only being eaten at breakfast?Anyway, keep us informed, and congratulations!!!</blockquote>
