Is Keto Diet Safe for Pregnant
"Is Keto Diet Safe for Pregnant
Women?"she asked.
That's a good question & the answer is NO.
Ketogenic diet,generally requires consuming 75 % of your daily calories from fat, 20 % from protein and just 5 % from carbohydrates.
There haven’t been any controlled studies done in pregnant human women as it's understandably, discouraged. However, pregnant mice fed a ketogenic diet experienced many problems with their offspring, including slower growth, smaller hearts and brains and an enlarged spine.
Such alterations may be associated with organ dysfunction and potentially behavioral changes in postnatal life.
The mouse genome has been fully sequenced and was found to share a high degree of homology with the human genome hence studying the physiological effects of a keto diet on mouse development, may shed light on the potentially-similar effects on human development.
Keto diet has shown to reduce diabetes in non-pregnant people but there is no evidence that the diet helps with gestational diabetes so
If you have gestational diabetes, lower your daily carbs while increasing your protein and vegetables.It's a better option.
Teaching the body to use ketones instead of glucose doesn’t work for growing babies. Glucose, from carbohydrates, is the primary energy source for baby’s growth and development.Other than that,the baby will be imprinted with obesity genes because the baby was formed under the guise from an evolutionary perspective that the mother sucks at finding food so 'we' have to make the baby so efficient that it turns everything into fat.
