I'm 9 weeks pregnant and overweight. Some may remember me (I've been around this board off and on for awhile). I lost 90lbs. on Atkins, kept it off for years and STUPIDLY went off track in 2007 and gained most of it back. I'm really kicking myself for that decision now!
Well, my fasting blood sugar on 12/24/07 was high - 137. My doctor said that pretty much means I've developed diabetes. I have to have repeat labs in a month to be sure. I'm so pi**ed at myself!
I've decided to follow Atkins during my pregnancy after hearing this news. I need to control my weight and blood sugar. My problem is following the Maintenance phase of Atkins. I've never followed it. Even during my years after losing I never moved on to it. I was always switching between Induction and OWL (consuming about 40-45 carbs per day). I have DANDR, and plan to read it soon. Can anyone following Maintenance give me an idea of what they eat? How many carbs they consume, etc.?
Thanks!
