Can you try the keto diet soon after having a baby? Here's what you should know.
When it comes to diets that promise quick weight loss, new moms are generally all ears. Lately, the keto diet has been getting lots of press. A diverse group of celebrities — from LeBron James to Halle Berry to Vinny from— have tried it and touted its benefits. But what is it and how does it work? Here’s a basic rundown of what the keto diet is, whether it’s safe for new moms, and how to follow it. While the keto diet might seem like the newest It Diet, it has actually existed for many years.
The keto diet recommendation is that 75 percent of your daily calories come from fat, 20 percent from protein, and 5 percent from carbs. If you’re eating 2,000 calories in a day, which is generally around the amount that the average woman requires, this means that you’d be allotted just 25 grams of carbohydrates — in other words, about one medium banana, one apple, one sweet potato, two slices of bread, half a Snickers bar, or an ounce and a half of tortilla chips.
There are some definite risks and drawbacks to going keto, as well, however — especially for new moms. During the first few days off carbs, many people feel nauseous, headachy, and fatigued, which is known as the keto flu. Even though your body will transition to using fat for energy soon , for a new mom, being more tired than usual, even just for a few days, can be rough.
