Obviously I don't mean hardcore, but I'm addicted to sugary carbs & I have put almost 1 stone on already. I'm trying to think of ways to improve my diet & having read Dr Briffa & lurked on lots of these threads I do believe low carbing is healthy. Just a bit concerned starting whilst pregnant.....

Low-carb diets

Sorry, I'm not pregnant at the moment. But I stayed low carb (my usual woe) for my first pregnancy, and didn't for my second pregnancy.
The differences with a low carb diet were no heartburn and about a stone less weight gain. Also I had much more energy. Wish I'd done the same the second time, than I wouldn't still have a stone to lose after nearly a year.
As long as you're getting lots of meat, fish, fruit (I still ate fruit) & veg, nuts etc I don't see how it can be unhealthy. I mean, how can bread, pasta and the like be essential if humans lived without them for umm, not sure, but "some" thousands of years?
