5:09 Thank you, you answered my question on Folate, I will stick to adding Nutrional Yeast because it makes me feel best, but you did answer that it could be found in livers, I thought that might be the case, I know getting liver is important too.
25 years ago I was in ketosis during my entire third pregnancy. My doctor asked me if I was trying to lose weight! I had no idea what ketosis was!! The only foods I could tolerate were whole foods. Junk and carbs made me nauseous. It was the easiest of my three pregnancies and despite having a c-section, I left the hospital a day early and was roller skating with my older kids 5 weeks later! My son was and is incredibly healthy. Your body and your baby will thrive on a keto/ketovore/carnivore way of eating because the food is nutrient-dense and delicious!
4:40 this is so affirming to hear. My last pregnancy I was 100% paleo, portion controlled, ended up with gestational diabetes, changed my diet to follow my OBGYN recommendation and by my third trimester i was on the highest dose of insulins injecting at every meal. It made no sense. I remember telling my dietician who was frustrated with me for not eating enough carbs, that when i hit the minimum carb requirement my blood sugar would sky rocket. They scared me about all of the defects and problems my son would have if I didn’t eat more carbs. It was a nightmare. So glad to come across your story and so many more. Thank you for sharing!!
Sorry, if this was already said... notice she discusses WHOLE real foods, not "keto" bars, shakes etc... those are the things to stay away from pregnant or not!! Thank you, always, for your discussions, Neisha!
I always say “weight loss” is a nice benefit but the impact a ketogenic diet has on your brain, heart and body in general is what it is all about. Go Neisha! Keep educating the world 🌍 🥩 🍖
When I had my daughter 25 years ago I had a hell of a pregnancy! And a complicated labor! I was eating a SAD diet.....WELL when i had my son 18 years ago I ate a clean low carb diet (aka Keto) and I had an amazing pregnancy and labor and bounced back soon after my pregnancy-xoxoxo
I have found so much healing thru you and Dr Berry.... I brought down my A1C from 10.3 to 6.3 and now a few weeks later I find myself pregnant. Pray for me Neisha!
I ate low carb with my IVF pregnancy, and could not tolerate sugar at all during that pregnancy. I was nursing him and when he was around 6 months old I transitioned from low carb to keto, and I had no issues with milk production, and my son was very healthy. As soon as he was weaned I ended up pregnant again (oops). I was keto for the first part of that pregnancy, then I got lazy and was staying sick. Then they did the test for gestational diabetes, and it was positive. So I went back to strict keto to control my sugar for the rest of the pregnancy and suprise the nausea and sickness went away almost completely when I got my sugar under control. My new baby is 2 months old and thriving and I am still eating keto. I feel so much better when I eat this way and my new baby is perfect (and I didn't need to take any medication to regulate my gestational diabetes).
I love that you're putting this info out there! I wish I had known how to do keto the right way (for me) when I was pregnant. I did the best I could at the time with the information I had so I have no regrets but I still do wonder. I will say that my pregnancy where I was the closest to keto (strict dairy free and nut free Whole30) was my easiest delivery and I felt the best. My midwife got upset with me for having ketones in my urine though... Apparently I was often in ketosis even though I was eating things like bananas. Lol.
I’ve been following you and Dr. Berry for years and fully intended to have a keto pregnancy. My husband and I stocked our kitchen with fresh, wild-caught salmon, quail eggs, grass fed butter, and all of the other wonderful things I’ve loved on keto. Then, the first trimester nausea hit at 5 weeks and I’ve literally only been able to tolerate scrambled eggs, Ezekiel bread, and simple mills almond flour crackers. I’m hoping to ease back into keto in the second trimester. This is brutal lol
I love how excited and happy you look. Need I say you’re glowing? 🥰 Second, I love your lip color. It matches your sweater and it’s one of my favorite colors. (Earth tones for the win!) The pop of color on your earrings adds a perfect touch. You and Dr B lead by example. Heal disease? Done that ✅ Heal infertility? Done that ✅ Optimize my weight? Done that ✅ Clear up rosacea? Done that ✅ How about blemishes? Done that ✅ I’m so grateful I found you both years ago & decided to begin a Keto lifestyle. I’ll never go back. Here’s to years of good health and happiness❤️
This is similar to what I’m going through with convincing my sister that “keto” is okay for our 82 year old Dad! He lost 15 lbs in a month and feels great! His goal is to reduce his meds. He told his doctor that he is on a whole food diet with mainly meat and vegetables and no processed food! His doctor is on board but my sister thinks he needs carbs.
I've had two keto babies :) I had a gestational diabetes scare with my second son and switched to keto asap. I've been on keto ever since and had a great pregnancy and labour with my third son too.
It is obvious from your happy, peppy self that you are not just fine, but thriving during your pregnancy. Keep educating and spreading the word of healthy eating REALLY is!! Thank you!
You look fabulous!!! My daughter ate organic and low carbs during her pregnancy. I told her that she would weigh less postpartum. She sure did weigh less than she did when she got pregnant!!! Great advice!!!
Just found out I’m preg! I started keto about 6 months ago when I found out I was type 2 diabetic. I can’t wait to see how different this pregnancy will be for me while being on keto!
@@WinkThatCouture everything went well! I had a healthy and pretty easy birth experience. My daughter weighed 7.13 . I was able to avoid all medications as well!
Thanks Neisha! So happy to watch your video today. Heard you are a lactation nurse now. We need more people to show the benefits of breastfeeding not only for baby but also the mother. You are looking happy and healthy. 💕from Ky.
I love this. I will definitely be keto or doing my best to be keto in my future pregnancies! Thank you for touching on infertility and keto because I have horrible hormonal issues alongside irregular periods due to hypothyroidism. Keto/Ketovore is the only thing that is helping slowly heal my body and hormones. Hooray!
Such important powerful info! 🙌🏼Thank you, Miss Neisha!! I found the keto way of eating from my midwife during my third pregnancy. My midwives never forced the glucose test, and were okay with me testing my blood sugar at home three times. My fasted level was soooo high. (Strong family history of diabetes, both types) That midwife saved my life. Legit. I was able to lower my levels to healthy numbers in just two days by eating keto & adding chromium picolinate into my daily routine. Baby was born safely at home, no complications. 🙏🏼 I kept going after my 6 week healing period, and lost 86 pounds doing keto, while still exclusively breastfeeding my son until he was 7 months and started solids. Currently 6 weeks postpartum with baby #4, second keto pregnancy, and I'm so thankful I did it from the beginning! Breastfeeding is going great. Baby was born safely at home, 10 pounds, no complications. Many blessings to you and the fam! Thank you for always speaking about these issues! 💗
I was 32 in my first pregnancy with my daughter and it was a hard pregnancy and I was always sick... Now I'm 37 years old eating keto with my second baby and working out... I feel great, never sick, so many energies, baby boy perfectly on track :) hopefully it will help the labour and postpartum too 🤞
@ Neisha Loves It - I wish I would have known about keto/ketovore YEARS ago. I have PCOS and was never able to conceive. We adopted a baby girl and when she was 2 years old, we even tried artificial insemination once (all we could afford) and of course it didn't work either. Seven years later we adopted another baby girl that had been in our foster home since 7 months old that is special needs with 5p- syndrome. I love both of my girls with all my heart, but would have loved to have experienced pregnancy and childbirth of my own baby. My girls are 22 and 13 now and I am almost 58, so it is too late for me, but thank you so much for all the information that you, Neisha Berry, and Dr. Berry put out there. I so appreciate all of the information for my aging body with all of my aches and pains. We did keto in our house for about a year and I was never in better shape, but we fell off the wagon. I have since put back on about 60 pounds and feel terrible and some mornings can barely get out of bed because of my, spinal stenosis, spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, spina bifida occulta and a few other issues. I am going to try to start Dr. Berry's 30 day HACK tomorrow, April first, and need to be in everyone's thoughts and prayers. If I don't do something drastic soon, I may wake up one day and not be able to walk. I have a 13 year old special needs daughter that depends on me everyday, so I have to do this and optimize my health as much as possible. Thanks again for all y'all do! -Sheila Sorry for such a long comment!
Great video! I have a 10 month old. I was carnivore when I got pregnant which was a miracle because we were not trying. With this being my fourth baby at age 39, I was keto carnivore throughout the whole pregnancy. I had a terrible natural birth with complications and needed surgery right after, from how she was positioned. My baby is perfect and I was able to heal quickly because I was healthy! So thank you keep spreading the good word!
This is great! I'm 19 weeks pregnant, and was planning on talking to Dr. Berry next month at LFTN about eating this way while pregnant. This is my 2nd pregnancy, and once again, all I want to eat is meat, meat, and more meat. The idea of eating something sweet just turns my stomach.
Ugh I wish! Ive been so bad since week 6 especially with the fast food. I barely ate fast food when I wasn’t pregnant. I am going to try keto I am 14 weeks.
Thanks, we already have 4 kids, but I am still in my 30's so I wondered what I would do if my husband and I got blessed with a 5th. I have been doing keto for over 4 years and while we are not trying, and we are preventing, "blessings" can still happen. Carbs hurt me, good to know there is keto support out there.
❤Oh my gosh, I love this video! Thank you so much for sharing! I had learned about Weston A. Price back in 2009, and made massive changes then. I became pregnant with my daughter in 2014 (at 26 years old). I followed close to that way of eating (but not perfect), and she came out absolutely perfect and my pregnancy was so fun and amazing! I became keto in 2017, which wasn't a stretch from Weston A. Price, so that was easy. I became pregnant again in 2018 (at 30 y/o) with my son, and ate close to Keto (not perfect)... and WAP as well. And he came out so perfect, and my pregnancy was again amazing... and my husband who gained a lot in my first pregnancy, looked amazing after our second (with keto). There was so little information on being keto during pregnancy in 2018. We are now pregnant with our third in 2024 (at 36 y/o), and I'm doing my research again, and it's so amazing to find so many videos like this now! I love Dr. Berg, and Dr. Ken Berry! I didn't know you were his wife until the end of this video! I was going to write this comment before the video even ended because I loved it so much, and then you popped out with that! And made it even better! Thank you again for this video! I'm so excited for round 3! 🥳🎉❤
I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and just turned 37 years old almost 2 weeks ago. I have been keto since January 17th, 2017. So far this has been such an easy pregnancy. My previous pregnancy almost 8 years ago I broke my elbow, diagnosed with gestational diabetes, diagnosed with gestational hypertension. Was induced at almost 37 weeks due to my blood pressure. My blood pressure is amazing. They checked my a1c at 8 weeks and it was 5.4 and had me do early 1 hour glucose tolerance test at 12 weeks and passed, but barely failed my 1 hour at 28 weeks. I had to do 3 hour and passed the fasting, and had elevated 1 hour and passed 2 hour, but some how they messed up my 3 hour results so they gave me the option of testing qid (4 times a day) or repeating the test. I opted for testing qid because I feel like crap after drinking all that sugar. I am just having trouble with my fasting numbers in the morning. They are between 100-108. I eat dinner later than normal (7:30-8pm) and get up at 6am. On weekends when I sleep in a bit later my numbers are way better. Any suggestions? I really want a cgm (senseonics has a new implantable cgm system that is approved by fda, but insurance won't pay 🙁) just to see my numbers overnight
I used to do Keto and I felt great! Then I got pregnant and was vomiting during the first trimester but can only survive on sweet things and carbs. When I got better I should have stopped that but I continued and unfortunately it got out of control that I now have mild gestational diabetes. So here I am back to Keto again day 1 re-educating myself on the benefits of Keto during pregnancy at 6 months pregnant. This morning I had keto coffee and keto noats.. going to make keto bread for lunch and some meat and vege as well. I will eat 3 to 4 keto meals a day and try my best not to eat in between. Im trying to avoid dinner but thats over time once my body has time to adjust. I suppose I should add exercise as well 😅 slowly I will add it. Thanks for the video and reassuring me that keto is safe for pregnancy as long as all nutrients are complete.
If I’d have know about carnivore when I was going through infertility, IVF, finally egg donor, I am certain I could have solved my infertility. I was in menopause at 37, and I got my cycle back at 46 when I went carnivore! True story. Too late for me, but I hope other people learn.
I struggled against the establishment in my first Keto pregnancy in 2018 because there was not a lot of information out there at the time. I had to do a lot of research to be able to counter the garbage I encountered from Endocrinologist and diabetes educators both who while telling me I needed to keep my blood sugars low because I am type 2 diabetic (my hba1c at the time was 4.8) were then telling me to add more carbs in and take insulin to bring the sugars down. I said umm I'd rather not eat the things that will make my blood sugars high in the first place. 2nd time around and a little more meat based. It was much easier to deal with because I knew they all had no idea how to control blood sugar. Stayed off insulin both times.
This is exactly what I’m dealing with. Got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Told to cut carb so my sugars can stay in line which I did. And I feel amazing. But now they want me to increase carbs because I’m in ketosis (per my urine test). I’m just confused
Oh my gosh Neisha! you look bloody fantastic. You're glowing and look super healthy, keep spreading the keto word. Cheers, and thanks for sharing informative information xx Yes!
I can’t thank you enough for this video!! I’m trying to heal my body in order to get pregnant and so far no luck. I suffer with uterine fibroids and been eating ketovore for few months. I lost 24 pounds and still have the last 13 pounds to lose, and was wondering how safe is the ketogenic diet if we’re blessed with a pregnancy. Thank you so much for this video and for all your What I Eat in a Day videos!! God bless you and your family!❤❤❤
Amazing video Neisha! 💕💕 Such important information to get out!! My second pregnancy I was keto/ketovore/carnivore. My second pregnancy was considerably more comfortable and easier on me than my 1st, I only gained 20 pounds total (I wasn’t underweight to begin with) and lost it all without trying and swelled considerably less postpartum than with my 1st birth. And I also had an easier time having a healthy breast milk supply than the 1st time I breastfed. I recommend it to every woman I know and love!!
Being keto, is eating optimaly and I have switched to mostly better eating. Was already gluten free. Now I don’t do sugar, it’s always hard when around other ppl and celebrations eating out. I have not lost tons of weight but I am polishing my hi older body!
This is so reassuring to hear! I have hashimoto's allow and have been playing around with a mostly carnivore diet. Wish you a easy and healthy pregnancy
Had a keto pregnancy last year and it was my best pregnancy by far! If you have gestational diabetes, don’t use the word keto!😂 If your OBGYN and nutritionist ask what you’re doing, give them a list of foods you eat and foods you avoid. Mine thought they were against keto, but totally approved my lists. My bloodwork and blood sugars were always so good they called me their star patient! 😆 I wish there wasn’t such a disconnect because of one word.
@@taz12184 Haha!🤣 You gotta know how to play the game!😆 If they tell you that you’re supposed to get in plenty of fruits and vegetables, just say “Yes, I know!”😂
@@KiKi-tf8rv luv it thanks so much. Was trying for 4 years went carnivore and started taking iodine and boom that month got a positive. So have it all in front of me now please god. Xx
I would LOVE to know what makeup you’re wearing and is it organic/good for ya kind You are stunningly beautiful🦋 I felt better with my third pregnancy…I turned to my husband at the end and said, “I wish I could stay pregnant forever!” That is how good I felt though🤗 So thankful for you sharing your journey from first pregnancy and this one beginning to end🦋
Hi Neisha! I do follow Dr. Berry. Now I thought I was subscribed to you. I just started Keto 8 days ago so new to this thank you so much for this information! Have a wonderful day!
I love keto I’m so happy to find this because I’ve only come across little info and although I’m still TTC via IUIs, I plan to maintain keto during pregnancy.
Checked out Jaime Seeman,good roll model for women. We need more women doctors like her. I think once people get past the keto BS infighting and Big Pham gets knocked off their money grab,we will all benefit health wise.
I watched TH-cam "Cooking Goat Laba in a Friend's Yard in Turkey Village" Wow, might have to leave out the rice and some ingredients (look like almonds) Goat ribs with stuffed Goat liver and other stuff. The salad was lettuce, bay leaves, parsley, tomatoes, cabbage and some other greens don't remember. The dressing was a sour creme or yogurt dressing. They don't screw around in these farm villages. Everything is grass fed and organic. Cooking out doors. One could do this meal keto leaving out some of the ingredients they use like rice.
I absolutely adore you. You are gorgeous, sweet, funny, and a plethora of knowledge....also i just love your sweet, laugh ❤️ Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
you look radiant! Great video....can't wait to see more of farm and new build and all the babies (chickens, sheep?) How is dogga? We want to move so bad to TN...beautiful state, beautiful people
I just found out im pregnant after a year of fertilty clinique tests and meds etc. It wasn't until i went carnivore my periods came back and 6 months into the diet BAM! PREGNANT!
Neisha honey I made that decision that I was going to take care of my health.. Every person just keep saying! O no keto way of eating is so BAD!! I've done it for 2 years now, and it has change my life!! I've never felt better , and over come health issues. love it!!! 🥑🥓🍖👍
Currently pregnant and have been doing keto since 2018. Thanks for all the helpful and great information. I do believe this way of eating definitely helped me. I am just curious if anyone has been on keto and has had a physician tell them that they see traces of protein in their urine and not to worry but that they will keep monitoring it. I had this happen to me and now it's got me questioning what am I doing wrong? Is this a major concern ? Is there any adjustments that need to be made? Or is this something else? I am NO expert and just looking for any advice from anyone who has experienced this.
This happened to me in my keto pregnancy! It’s nothing to worry about! I was healthy and so was my baby. I have a super smart 4 yr old and she is way healthier than other kids her age.
@@bellachet1392 Thank you for sharing your experience. Happy to hear your pregnancy went well and precious baby girl are doing well and thriving ! This is encouraging to keep in my keto lifestyle path.
I have epilepsy and I'm doing keto, when i eat carbs I'm having seizures. I would like to have a baby ,but i was afraid to do keto on my pregnancy. Thanks for your video!
I was in keto my entire pregnancy. Not because I was on keto, but because I had a hyperemesis pregnancy and couldn't eat at all. I always had ketones in my urine. My daughter came out perfectly healthy.
Neisha, can you recommend a good prenatal vitamin? My daughter (non keto) just found out she's pregnant. I told her to at least limit sugar (all forms), processed foods and concentrate on real whole foods.
I'm hoping that I will have less pain and inflammation on this 5th pregnancy than I did on the other 4 pregnancies on the SAD. I just watched one of your husband's videos about pregnancy on keto/carnivore. Interestingly I had lots of morning sickness with my other pregnancies but I haven't had any yet while on ketovore.
I am currently trying for baby #2 at 34 years old. I am trying to change over to this way of eating for fertility issues as well as just trying to take better care of myself. How did you start out? I just don’t know how and where to start. Love your videos btw!
I'm sure you've heard of Dr Eric Berg? he has some very basic help for starting to eat ketogenic. He's more on the meats, veggies and cruciferous veg. While I know Dr Berry & Neisha don't claim a title to how they eat necessarily but I know from watching they eat everything meat! She's got a lot of great videos on food ideas to put together. It's very simple:) just gotta have the determination! It will be hard the first few weeks but you just gotta take the plunge! Good luck to you ❤
In order to stick with it for the long run you have to do it slowly so you and your body can adjust. Don’t cut it all out overnight, the side effects might derail you completely (keto flu, possibly diarrhea..). Do it over a month or two time. Cut the amounts of bad stuff you it, eat each day less of grains, sugary stuff, introduce cooking in pork fat or tallow, cut out all oils and use only moderately amounts of olive oil/coconut oil. Up your meat amounts. You didn’t get to where and how you are now over night, don’t expect to do it over night either. Take small repetitive steps towards bettering your nutrition and way of cooking and eating and you already will see real progress! Use SALT..;) Best regards, Dana (using my husband’s account 🤪😬)
Hi Neisha, What type of folate supplement would you recommend before/during pregnancy? I haven been eating a high meat diet but I was just wondering what type of folate I should have because it is super confusing as there are different forms.
I went keto/ low carb for a good while now lost 70lbs got pregnant After trying for a good while and was not expecting it. Wish I could stay on keto but my body is refusing to allow me to eat good food. Luckily still not really putting on extra lbs as it's early. Can't wait to switch back asap!
Animal foods are the building blocks for the babies brain and body, so eating plenty of nutrient dense (high quality pastured raised preferred) animal foods only makes sense
Its amazing there is a book called super nutrition for babies and I love that it shows old adds from GERBER for solely meats helping your baby grow, the importance of vit D/sunlight etc. I'm thinking dang when did they get bought off with now solely the overmasked veg with sugary fruit pouches they sell. Lol I do think they still have some rather questionable looking baby hotdogs in glass jars though lol
Neisha! Great video. If more people would wake up and see the poison, we would be a healthier country. I got a little tear when you were showing little Josie cause my babies are grown. Now they are just a pain in my neck. 😲 ...................... 😎👍👍

depends on the keto bars, some are great for your sweet craving (like Cando), it's really about the ingredients.
you keep having those cravings because of eating those processed foods@@trevnti

Baby was born safely at home, no complications. 🙏🏼 I kept going after my 6 week healing period, and lost 86 pounds doing keto, while still exclusively breastfeeding my son until he was 7 months and started solids.
Currently 6 weeks postpartum with baby #4, second keto pregnancy, and I'm so thankful I did it from the beginning! Breastfeeding is going great. Baby was born safely at home, 10 pounds, no complications.
Many blessings to you and the fam! Thank you for always speaking about these issues! 💗
You look so beautiful! Keep preaching that Keto way of life Girl- you are a shining example of how good it is for us- even during Pregnancy!
I was 32 in my first pregnancy with my daughter and it was a hard pregnancy and I was always sick... Now I'm 37 years old eating keto with my second baby and working out... I feel great, never sick, so many energies, baby boy perfectly on track :) hopefully it will help the labour and postpartum too 🤞
WOW thanks for your experience
You give me so much hope! 35 here, unexpected pregnancy. Im so scared! Since im in such bad shape+ my age.
@ Neisha Loves It - I wish I would have known about keto/ketovore YEARS ago. I have PCOS and was never able to conceive. We adopted a baby girl and when she was 2 years old, we even tried artificial insemination once (all we could afford) and of course it didn't work either. Seven years later we adopted another baby girl that had been in our foster home since 7 months old that is special needs with 5p- syndrome. I love both of my girls with all my heart, but would have loved to have experienced pregnancy and childbirth of my own baby. My girls are 22 and 13 now and I am almost 58, so it is too late for me, but thank you so much for all the information that you, Neisha Berry, and Dr. Berry put out there. I so appreciate all of the information for my aging body with all of my aches and pains. We did keto in our house for about a year and I was never in better shape, but we fell off the wagon. I have since put back on about 60 pounds and feel terrible and some mornings can barely get out of bed because of my, spinal stenosis, spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, spina bifida occulta and a few other issues. I am going to try to start Dr. Berry's 30 day HACK tomorrow, April first, and need to be in everyone's thoughts and prayers. If I don't do something drastic soon, I may wake up one day and not be able to walk. I have a 13 year old special needs daughter that depends on me everyday, so I have to do this and optimize my health as much as possible. Thanks again for all y'all do! -Sheila
Sorry for such a long comment!
Great video! I have a 10 month old. I was carnivore when I got pregnant which was a miracle because we were not trying. With this being my fourth baby at age 39, I was keto carnivore throughout the whole pregnancy. I had a terrible natural birth with complications and needed surgery right after, from how she was positioned. My baby is perfect and I was able to heal quickly because I was healthy! So thank you keep spreading the good word!
Just waiting for this video, have a pregnant daughter and I wasn’t sure and here you are
You look amazing Neisha, you're glowing , thx for the amazing contents you've been gifting us lately..hugs to you ❤
Great video! Very informative. My wife and I have been keto for years…..going strong.
This is a great presentation, you couldn't be anymore authentic in this video, and you look absolutely radiant.
This is great! I'm 19 weeks pregnant, and was planning on talking to Dr. Berry next month at LFTN about eating this way while pregnant.
This is my 2nd pregnancy, and once again, all I want to eat is meat, meat, and more meat. The idea of eating something sweet just turns my stomach.
Ugh I wish! Ive been so bad since week 6 especially with the fast food. I barely ate fast food when I wasn’t pregnant. I am going to try keto I am 14 weeks.
I think this is amazing and I really wish my pregnant daughter would follow keto for her and my grandson currently in her belly🤔
Thanks, we already have 4 kids, but I am still in my 30's so I wondered what I would do if my husband and I got blessed with a 5th. I have been doing keto for over 4 years and while we are not trying, and we are preventing, "blessings" can still happen. Carbs hurt me, good to know there is keto support out there.
My best wishes to a growing family and thank you for promoting the healthy human way of eating.
❤Oh my gosh, I love this video! Thank you so much for sharing! I had learned about Weston A. Price back in 2009, and made massive changes then. I became pregnant with my daughter in 2014 (at 26 years old). I followed close to that way of eating (but not perfect), and she came out absolutely perfect and my pregnancy was so fun and amazing! I became keto in 2017, which wasn't a stretch from Weston A. Price, so that was easy. I became pregnant again in 2018 (at 30 y/o) with my son, and ate close to Keto (not perfect)... and WAP as well. And he came out so perfect, and my pregnancy was again amazing... and my husband who gained a lot in my first pregnancy, looked amazing after our second (with keto). There was so little information on being keto during pregnancy in 2018. We are now pregnant with our third in 2024 (at 36 y/o), and I'm doing my research again, and it's so amazing to find so many videos like this now! I love Dr. Berg, and Dr. Ken Berry! I didn't know you were his wife until the end of this video! I was going to write this comment before the video even ended because I loved it so much, and then you popped out with that! And made it even better! Thank you again for this video! I'm so excited for round 3! 🥳🎉❤
I should also add that nursing was perfect as well. I nursed both of them for 3 years each. And recovery and weight loss afterwards was great too! 😊👍
I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and just turned 37 years old almost 2 weeks ago. I have been keto since January 17th, 2017. So far this has been such an easy pregnancy. My previous pregnancy almost 8 years ago I broke my elbow, diagnosed with gestational diabetes, diagnosed with gestational hypertension. Was induced at almost 37 weeks due to my blood pressure. My blood pressure is amazing. They checked my a1c at 8 weeks and it was 5.4 and had me do early 1 hour glucose tolerance test at 12 weeks and passed, but barely failed my 1 hour at 28 weeks. I had to do 3 hour and passed the fasting, and had elevated 1 hour and passed 2 hour, but some how they messed up my 3 hour results so they gave me the option of testing qid (4 times a day) or repeating the test. I opted for testing qid because I feel like crap after drinking all that sugar. I am just having trouble with my fasting numbers in the morning. They are between 100-108. I eat dinner later than normal (7:30-8pm) and get up at 6am. On weekends when I sleep in a bit later my numbers are way better. Any suggestions? I really want a cgm (senseonics has a new implantable cgm system that is approved by fda, but insurance won't pay 🙁) just to see my numbers overnight
It’s the way humans have eaten for millions of years…how could it be unsafe? Doctors who repeat this are really proving how ignorant they are.
I used to do Keto and I felt great! Then I got pregnant and was vomiting during the first trimester but can only survive on sweet things and carbs. When I got better I should have stopped that but I continued and unfortunately it got out of control that I now have mild gestational diabetes. So here I am back to Keto again day 1 re-educating myself on the benefits of Keto during pregnancy at 6 months pregnant. This morning I had keto coffee and keto noats.. going to make keto bread for lunch and some meat and vege as well. I will eat 3 to 4 keto meals a day and try my best not to eat in between. Im trying to avoid dinner but thats over time once my body has time to adjust. I suppose I should add exercise as well 😅 slowly I will add it. Thanks for the video and reassuring me that keto is safe for pregnancy as long as all nutrients are complete.
If I’d have know about carnivore when I was going through infertility, IVF, finally egg donor, I am certain I could have solved my infertility. I was in menopause at 37, and I got my cycle back at 46 when I went carnivore! True story. Too late for me, but I hope other people learn.
Wow..that is great news! Getting back your cycle 9 years after menopause is no easy feat! Good on you!
You’re glowing! Congrats!🍼
I struggled against the establishment in my first Keto pregnancy in 2018 because there was not a lot of information out there at the time. I had to do a lot of research to be able to counter the garbage I encountered from Endocrinologist and diabetes educators both who while telling me I needed to keep my blood sugars low because I am type 2 diabetic (my hba1c at the time was 4.8) were then telling me to add more carbs in and take insulin to bring the sugars down. I said umm I'd rather not eat the things that will make my blood sugars high in the first place.
2nd time around and a little more meat based. It was much easier to deal with because I knew they all had no idea how to control blood sugar. Stayed off insulin both times.
This is exactly what I’m dealing with. Got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Told to cut carb so my sugars can stay in line which I did. And I feel amazing. But now they want me to increase carbs because I’m in ketosis (per my urine test). I’m just confused
This is such a relief for me to read as I’m type 2 diabetic and just found out I’m pregnant. Going to stick to strict keto as much as I can.
@@songindarkness Lily Nicols has a great book on low carb pregnancy and the science behind it.
Beautiful glowing Mama !! Keep up the good work !! Get the word out !!
I love sharing your videos with friend that need them.
You have the pregnancy glow!
Oh my gosh Neisha! you look bloody fantastic. You're glowing and look super healthy, keep spreading the keto word. Cheers, and thanks for sharing informative information xx Yes!
I can’t thank you enough for this video!! I’m trying to heal my body in order to get pregnant and so far no luck. I suffer with uterine fibroids and been eating ketovore for few months. I lost 24 pounds and still have the last 13 pounds to lose, and was wondering how safe is the ketogenic diet if we’re blessed with a pregnancy. Thank you so much for this video and for all your What I Eat in a Day videos!! God bless you and your family!❤❤❤
Maca powder🙌
Amazing video Neisha! 💕💕 Such important information to get out!!
My second pregnancy I was keto/ketovore/carnivore. My second pregnancy was considerably more comfortable and easier on me than my 1st, I only gained 20 pounds total (I wasn’t underweight to begin with) and lost it all without trying and swelled considerably less postpartum than with my 1st birth. And I also had an easier time having a healthy breast milk supply than the 1st time I breastfed. I recommend it to every woman I know and love!!
If I ate carbs when I was pregnant with my son, I felt so sick. It definitely caused me to get curious of how carbs effect my body.
Being keto, is eating optimaly and I have switched to mostly better eating. Was already gluten free. Now I don’t do sugar, it’s always hard when around other ppl and celebrations eating out.
I have not lost tons of weight but I am polishing my hi older body!
This is so reassuring to hear! I have hashimoto's allow and have been playing around with a mostly carnivore diet. Wish you a easy and healthy pregnancy
My son's are 25 and 27 now. I sure wish I had known all of this way of eating a long time ago !!
Tell it sister!!! Great video! 👍
Neisha, I live in omaha and there's a very long waiting list to see Dr. Seeman... makes me sad cuz there are no other doctors around here like her. 😕
Hopefully she can educate more providers in her area. I know she’s trying !
Had a keto pregnancy last year and it was my best pregnancy by far! If you have gestational diabetes, don’t use the word keto!😂 If your OBGYN and nutritionist ask what you’re doing, give them a list of foods you eat and foods you avoid. Mine thought they were against keto, but totally approved my lists. My bloodwork and blood sugars were always so good they called me their star patient! 😆 I wish there wasn’t such a disconnect because of one word.
Mind trick lol! The word keto is evil but low carbs and high fats are approved lol!
@@EastElbow 💯 😂
Thanks for the tips. I was going to go in next week guns blazing saying I'm full carnivore. Think I'll keep that to myslef now 😉
@@taz12184 Haha!🤣 You gotta know how to play the game!😆 If they tell you that you’re supposed to get in plenty of fruits and vegetables, just say “Yes, I know!”😂
@@KiKi-tf8rv luv it thanks so much. Was trying for 4 years went carnivore and started taking iodine and boom that month got a positive. So have it all in front of me now please god. Xx
Great info Neisha. Wish I had this info before my pregnancy. (29 years ago)
Fabulous diet for pregnancy , what no junk food ! How fabulous 🤩
I would LOVE to know what makeup you’re wearing and is it organic/good for ya kind
You are stunningly beautiful🦋
I felt better with my third pregnancy…I turned to my husband at the end and said,
“I wish I could stay pregnant forever!”
That is how good I felt though🤗
So thankful for you sharing your journey from first pregnancy and this one beginning to end🦋
Thank you for talking about this topic!
Hi Neisha! I do follow Dr. Berry. Now I thought I was subscribed to you. I just started Keto 8 days ago so new to this thank you so much for this information! Have a wonderful day!
Love all the content you’ve been putting out!! Keep up the good work 👏👏👏
Awesome. Love your videos and I think you are soo on the money. Keto is great
I love keto I’m so happy to find this because I’ve only come across little info and although I’m still TTC via IUIs, I plan to maintain keto during pregnancy.
Love ya mean it great information Neisha. 😍
What a great video! Thank you for sharing.
Checked out Jaime Seeman,good roll model for women. We need more women doctors like her. I think once people get past the keto BS infighting and Big Pham gets knocked off their money grab,we will all benefit health wise.
I watched TH-cam "Cooking Goat Laba in a Friend's Yard in Turkey Village" Wow, might have to leave out the rice and some ingredients (look like almonds) Goat ribs with stuffed Goat liver and other stuff. The salad was lettuce, bay leaves, parsley, tomatoes, cabbage and some other greens don't remember. The dressing was a sour creme or yogurt dressing. They don't screw around in these farm villages. Everything is grass fed and organic. Cooking out doors. One could do this meal keto leaving out some of the ingredients they use like rice.
I absolutely adore you. You are gorgeous, sweet, funny, and a plethora of knowledge....also i just love your sweet, laugh ❤️
Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
you look radiant! Great video....can't wait to see more of farm and new build and all the babies (chickens, sheep?) How is dogga? We want to move so bad to TN...beautiful state, beautiful people
A million thanks for this video!💕💕
I just found out im pregnant after a year of fertilty clinique tests and meds etc. It wasn't until i went carnivore my periods came back and 6 months into the diet BAM! PREGNANT!
Neisha honey I made that decision that I was going to take care of my health.. Every person just keep saying! O no keto way of eating is so BAD!! I've done it for 2 years now, and it has change my life!! I've never felt better , and over come health issues. love it!!! 🥑🥓🍖👍
That’s fantastic!!!
Currently pregnant and have been doing keto since 2018. Thanks for all the helpful and great information. I do believe this way of eating definitely helped me. I am just curious if anyone has been on keto and has had a physician tell them that they see traces of protein in their urine and not to worry but that they will keep monitoring it. I had this happen to me and now it's got me questioning what am I doing wrong? Is this a major concern ? Is there any adjustments that need to be made? Or is this something else? I am NO expert and just looking for any advice from anyone who has experienced this.
Me and Ken are gonna do a LIVE focusing on pregnancy! I’ll write this down and we can address it!
That would be wonderful thank you so very much for your reply ! Wishing all the expecting moms out there a healthy and happy pregnancy and delivery ❤
This happened to me in my keto pregnancy! It’s nothing to worry about! I was healthy and so was my baby. I have a super smart 4 yr old and she is way healthier than other kids her age.
@@bellachet1392 Thank you for sharing your experience. Happy to hear your pregnancy went well and precious baby girl are doing well and thriving ! This is encouraging to keep in my keto lifestyle path.
Still too early for me but I'm definitely gonna show this to my future wife haha. You're amazing
I am curious can you eat more than 20-30 carbs and still be in ketosis while pregnant?
I have epilepsy and I'm doing keto, when i eat carbs I'm having seizures. I would like to have a baby ,but i was afraid to do keto on my pregnancy. Thanks for your video!
Thank you for sharing! I have MTHFR and fortified folic acid actually hurts me! And I need folate instead!! ❤
Love the Berrys
Hubby and Neisha should do vitamin and nutrient requirements for twins , multiples .. that would be awesome!
Thank you for the reassuring video, and all that you do! Is there a prenatal vitamin that you would recommend?
I was in keto my entire pregnancy. Not because I was on keto, but because I had a hyperemesis pregnancy and couldn't eat at all. I always had ketones in my urine. My daughter came out perfectly healthy.
Hey Nurse Berry 🙋🏾♀️
You look amazing … so healthy!
It’s a lot healthier than the way I ate. I wish I knew about Keto when I was having babies.
That is an amazing book!!! 📖
This also makes me sad, I have a friend who has hashimotos and she has so many health issues but refuses to eat meat …
I swear, often she looks like she’s in her mid to late 20’s, and not in her mid 30’s.
Neisha, can you recommend a good prenatal vitamin? My daughter (non keto) just found out she's pregnant. I told her to at least limit sugar (all forms), processed foods and concentrate on real whole foods.
You really look great.
I'm hoping that I will have less pain and inflammation on this 5th pregnancy than I did on the other 4 pregnancies on the SAD. I just watched one of your husband's videos about pregnancy on keto/carnivore. Interestingly I had lots of morning sickness with my other pregnancies but I haven't had any yet while on ketovore.
I am currently trying for baby #2 at 34 years old. I am trying to change over to this way of eating for fertility issues as well as just trying to take better care of myself. How did you start out? I just don’t know how and where to start. Love your videos btw!
I'm sure you've heard of Dr Eric Berg? he has some very basic help for starting to eat ketogenic. He's more on the meats, veggies and cruciferous veg. While I know Dr Berry & Neisha don't claim a title to how they eat necessarily but I know from watching they eat everything meat! She's got a lot of great videos on food ideas to put together. It's very simple:) just gotta have the determination! It will be hard the first few weeks but you just gotta take the plunge! Good luck to you ❤
In order to stick with it for the long run you have to do it slowly so you and your body can adjust. Don’t cut it all out overnight, the side effects might derail you completely (keto flu, possibly diarrhea..). Do it over a month or two time. Cut the amounts of bad stuff you it, eat each day less of grains, sugary stuff, introduce cooking in pork fat or tallow, cut out all oils and use only moderately amounts of olive oil/coconut oil. Up your meat amounts. You didn’t get to where and how you are now over night, don’t expect to do it over night either. Take small repetitive steps towards bettering your nutrition and way of cooking and eating and you already will see real progress! Use SALT..;)
Best regards, Dana (using my husband’s account 🤪😬)
good follow up to your last video LOL
Hi Neisha, What type of folate supplement would you recommend before/during pregnancy? I haven been eating a high meat diet but I was just wondering what type of folate I should have because it is super confusing as there are different forms.
I went keto/ low carb for a good while now lost 70lbs got pregnant After trying for a good while and was not expecting it. Wish I could stay on keto but my body is refusing to allow me to eat good food. Luckily still not really putting on extra lbs as it's early. Can't wait to switch back asap!
Great video!
Animal foods are the building blocks for the babies brain and body, so eating plenty of nutrient dense (high quality pastured raised preferred) animal foods only makes sense
Its amazing there is a book called super nutrition for babies and I love that it shows old adds from GERBER for solely meats helping your baby grow, the importance of vit D/sunlight etc. I'm thinking dang when did they get bought off with now solely the overmasked veg with sugary fruit pouches they sell. Lol I do think they still have some rather questionable looking baby hotdogs in glass jars though lol
You look fabulous.
I need guidance for this pregnancy and joined the keto babies group. It's been a week and I'm still waiting for an approval😭😭😭
Blood type O thyroid issues....I don't eat gluten. I need animal products and some vegetables...key words meat...and no sugar just fruits....
Neisha! Great video. If more people would wake up and see the poison, we would be a healthier country. I got a little tear when you were showing little Josie cause my babies are grown. Now they are just a pain in my neck. 😲 ...................... 😎👍👍
Wondering, did you have to do the glucose drink test?
