nursing and atkins

[mommie nea]

i have found so much contridicting info on Atkins and nursing. Does anyone know of medical research that says it is okay to be on atkins while nursing? thanks for the help!

I don't know..and I am sure others will come on...but even if you did the maintenance part of Atkins.. I don't see how eating NOT processed foods...Meats and Veggies and GOOD grains of food could hurt you? Really we are giving up...cookies, candy, cakes...white breads....which aren't good for you anyway..

Sandy thanks for the reply. my husband and i have been low carbing for 3 years now and love it. we exercise daily and are fit and in great health. i was just worried that even on maintenance that i would not get enough good carbs for breast milk production. i just worry that with continual fat burning that the toxins will show up in my breast milk. that is what i can't seem to find solid data on.

and you look fabulous! keep it up and you will be at your goal weight in no time.
