I wanted to mention to anyone trying to get pregnant while on this diet...
When I found out I was pregnant i started trying to get out of ketosis and I just flat-out couldn't stay out. Even the straight sugar water drink for the 1 hr glucose test (had me do one at 12 weeks pregnant) didn't knock me out of ketosis for very long. I hope and pray that my baby is OK, but there's no way to know until later. Knowing that I was producing this substance that may cause my baby to be mentally retarded and not being able to stop it was like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. I really hope I've stayed out of ketosis since early in my 2nd trimester, but I stopped testing then so I am just trying to stay calm about it.
I certainly don't dispute that the diet works - I lost a bunch of weight and got pregnant on accident - I just don't want anyone else to have to go through the fear and anxiety I've had.
