I'm happy to begin this journey once again, having fallen off the wagon after my pregnancy in 2020. Started Keto on the 4th January 2022 and I'm giving myself 3 months to lose at least 5kg. As a breastfeeding Mom I know it's not going to be easy and I will try to be kind to myself 😊 #Day9

I’m not sure where you are in your breastfeeding journey, but I struggled to combine keto and breastfeeding (I’m a huge fan of both 😉)- when I cut carbs I struggled with supply with my last child. However I did induce lactation to breastfeed her as she is adopted, so it’s possible that played a role as well. All the best with your journey ❤️

Hi Jespes26. Indeed it is a struggle and my milk supply has somewhat decreased. (In fact I didn't realise the link between the two until you pointed it out. 😭 Thanks. 🌺🌸 I was advised to include some fruit to avoid going into Ketosis.
I am also not too strict in my eating habits. I have simply cut out the processed foods, especially sugar.

Ah I hope you find a balance where you can maintain supply and still eat in a way that makes you feel good. This morning I happened to be reading a Keto article on the website Diet Doctor (science based low carb information) and they had an article on low carb and breastfeeding. If you want to check it out.
I’m sure with some fruit and maybe some root veggies here and there you’ll be able to increase your supply again. ❤️❤️❤️
