I was pregnant and could only eat lemons, nothing else.I told my doctor I was so scared that my baby wasnt getting valuable nutrients during pregnancy.He quickly started me on IV drips twice a week to deliver those vital nutrients to my baby. i actually lost 40 lbs while pregnant. Long story short, God Blessed me with a healthy, happy baby girl, so I know this works to a certain safe extent.Good luck ladies🤰🙏
You have a great OB. I couldn’t eat anything at all, no water either; I had hyperemesis. They would give me IVs for hydration when I would go to the hospital but they never gave me nutrients. I also lost 50 lbs, thankfully I was overweight when I got pregnant.
Ofc idk how big you were pre pregnancy, but with regards to the health of baby, baby will get the nutrients it needs regardless of what you eat. They will take it from your tissue/bones/reserves if you're not eating/supplementing it. This is why many women experience tooth problems or other physical issues during, or shortly after pregnancy. Make sure to restore your reserves post pregnancy and not get pregnant too quickly again.
Even fasting in Ramadan suited me so nicely. During my 1st baby I did my Ramadan fasting at 6 months pregnancy.and at the time of 2nd I kept first 8 fasts of Ramadan and gave birth at 10th. I'm a dentist and I find doctor Berg as a super power of true knowledges of medicine. Keep spreading your power .
Hi! Have you seen these Dr. Berg's videos yet? th-cam.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=pregnancy Hope you'll find them helpful! Dr. Berg's Support Team.
I ate OMAD for months before getting pregnant. During my first trimester I could not fast. But during my second trimester I was able to do OMAD again and felt amazing! My body didn’t respond to it well in the third trimester though so I stopped yet again:)
I think that makes a lot of sense - you listened to your body. I have never done intermittent fasting before, and I just started researching keto this past year, but I've been pregnant and nursing for the past year and a half (now I'm pregnant again, and still breastfeeding lol), so I was afraid to try it, especially since I am really nauseated in the mornings with my pregnancies, even sometimes during the second and third trimesters. I have to eat multiple times a day, but the more I'm learning, the more I think I need to up my fat intake and see if that helps.
And YES it drove me crazy that I ate a huge, incredibly nutrient dense meal and supplemented with wonderful supplements and I was “not taking care of myself and baby” according to others. But if a woman ate fast food and processed food 10x a day while pregnant, and no nutrients, then no one says anything
@@TheChickP83 I did OMAD for my entire second trimester. In the first trimester I was too sick and needed to eat smaller meals. My third trimester hunger was high and I didn’t feel I could eat a big nutrient dense meal so I moved to 16 hour fasting. But OMAD for my second trimester felt amazing and my baby is very healthy! No complications ever and we even had a lovely homebirth :)
Well my mum unintentionally fasted when she was pregnant with me because she could not stand the smell of food. At the end, I was healthy baby, barely got sick growing up, I have a great immune system and I am way muscular and taller than average women : 48kg/106lbs of pure muscles, 1m76/5"9.
Not to be contentious, but that math is tripping me up here. If you are 106 lb and 5'9", I really don't see how you could possibly have very much muscle mass. That sounds quite slender even for a non-muscular woman, but if you have really high muscle mass at that height, you would weigh a lot more since muscle is so dense and compact.
Pregnancy and Lactation has thrown me off my keto diet. My baby is 1 now, before conceiving her I was reaping all the amazing benefits of healthy keto. I searched and searched for reliable guides to if keto was safe during pregnancy/lactation but couldn't find the answers I needed. Waiting for baby to stop feeding to go back on keto.
@@healthyketoexperiment7964 yes I have seen them, but because my GYN/Obs had conflicting advice I was confused on what to do. There were more people saying I would put my baby in danger than giving the green light on carb free pregnancy (I wasn't aiming to lose weight).
@@scissorspaper2754 Most OBGYNs are not really that great if you want a natural and healthy pregnancy and delivery without unnecessary medical intervention. Quality, experienced midwives are a much better option. Speaking from experience as a nurse and pregnant mom of two lol.
I didn’t fast for two years in Ramadan , one when I was pregnant and second year cuz I was breastfeeding, my health was deteriorating. But I fasted this year and I’ve never felt this good. Now I know the importance of fasting. It changed my life
I think it's worth noting a lot of women come up insulin resistant after pregnancy, so it would probably be a good idea to be conservative about the number of meals. Eat plenty, but avoid the carbage, and don't snack all day.
During my pregnancy I couldn't really eat because I was always throwing up and wasn't taking in many vital nutrients but my baby came out strong and healthy.
I'm at 16 weeks and haven't changed my usual IF schedule, but would gladly if my bloodwork or ultrasound indicated any concerns. I've gained the normal weight, but lost some fat (bonus). So far I feel great! Thank you for covering this.
Fasting during pregnancy & breast feeding is optional in Ramadan, not an obligation, and if the woman concerned has health issues or on regular medication, she doesn't have to fast.
Plus Ramadan is an intermittent fasting, you break the fast at sunset and start at sunrise, this is approximately a 16 hour fast. The only difference is that it is a dry fast, so I do not quite agree with Dr Eric Berg
I fasted from 10pm to 5pm before my pregnancy and during the first part. About 4 months in i started to get hungry and wanted to chew my arm off before i got off work. I had to start eating a few hours earlier.. one day I actually hit a drive thru because I didnt think i could make the 20 minute drive home. I hate fast food. Then i had to start eating lunch.. then i gained a bunch of weight. Still struggling to get a few extra pounds off. Happy healthy toddler now. 😊
Hi Dr Berg thanks to you for all the valuable information. By the way am Muslim and I want to tell you that It's a misconception that when someone's pregnant she shouldn't fast. as you know Ramadan fasting is obligatory but in certain cases like being sick or travelling or in pregnancy you are allowed to not fast if you like to , its your choice...so in pregnancy fasting is NOT contraindicated but if the mother is worried and fears for her health and/ or her baby she is allowed to not fast . I was pregnant 6 times each one of it was in Ramadan month at some point and I fasted for the whole month it was perfectly fine and now I have 6 beautiful bright healthy kids Alhamdolilah.
Intermittent fasting and low card diet helped me to get pregnant for both my pregnancies but with strong food cravings and strong food aversions in the 1st trimester, there was no way I was gonna do either. Looking forward to getting back to it to help me lose my pregnancy weight from my second pregnancy.
This is going to be an odd comment, but during my first pregnancy, I didn't know I was pregnant, for about 18 weeks (yes), so I was fasting EVERY DAY (averaging 20-48 hour fasts), exercising 2-3 times per day, and wine was involved. I had a very healthy baby. He was 2.5 weeks early, which docs considered within normal. I did eat a lot of carbs (but they were almost exclusively fruits, which is the only thing I wanted especially in 3rd trimester because I felt full and low energy all the time), with cookies, at a ton of meat and seafood. Now i'm on my second pregnancy, and i'm wondering if I should just continue fasting (i've been fasting for almost a decade, with very very few breaks).. Now i'm not always Keto (i hop in and out every 2-3 weeks with a few days break), but i'm essentially almost as active... (down a few weeks due to ACL reconstruction)... I just really don't know what the answer is.
If we are in the second trimester and third trimester of pregnancy we do Ramadan fasting it's healthy and we never feel tired or out of strength in some women helps to go in labour on time
I think the goal during pregnancy should be healthy nutrition and lifestyle, not weight loss. Your body wants you to gain weight and grow the baby. This is not the time to think about losing weight.
It's the time to get healthy, an d for that you need to give a break to your organs of eliminations so it can purify the blood. Something it will ot do properly if you take drugs or consume more food than is necessary (which almost everybody does).
Other channels have been quite vocal on their positions (whether for or against) but considering yt could categorise dr berg along with other health practitioners as people of specific influence, that could be risky. Many channels are for , but also for transparency and individual choices
Just know that 2 FDA doctors are being forced to resign this week due to not approving the boosters. Herd immunity has been disproven due to Israel being over 90% vaccinated and having the highest new case rate. Additionally studies that are not shown on the news, shows lowered t cell counts after vaccination. I would rather randomly get covid and have a 99% survival rate than intentionally lowering my t cells which are much needed for tumors and cancer growth. Just my 2 cents.
@@vchafab exactly good arguments with facts i already had the virus am better than ever not even flu any more and I didn't take any medication just stay home 7 day and I was good
Seeing most woman in the first trimester get sick and often vomit due to having an empty stomach, I'd say no way 😂 I needed a sandwich on my nightstand to eat 20min before getting up, and keep eating every 3hours or I'd vomit. Both of my pregnancies. Edit: Also: you're not going to be eating 2 large meals in your 3rd trimester when the stomach sac is pushed all the way up by the baby.
Every pregnancy is different what works for you may not work for the next. I could eat all day and still be nauseous and throwing up. Empty or not I was sick all day.
I’ve never vomited my entire pregnancy. Only been nauseous like 5x. Every pregnancy is different. Doing daily 12-13 hour fasts reduced my cravings for sugar. If I eat all day my cravings for sugar are out of control. Just because it didn’t work for you doesn’t mean it’s a one size fits all.
@@SquidProQuo1 Exactly why i responded with MY story (and that of many other women) to this video. He said it himself. Most important is to get your nutrients (pregnant or not). I got pregnant while i did keto/fasts with my first, and had to stop doing it, that's fine. I also picked keto back up while breastfeeding (i was 1 year into breastfeeding at that point) without fasting, yet my supply tanked hard. Thus i've never gone back to keto. I do wonder how you managed to eat 2 big/heavy meals in your 3rd trimester without getting any discomfort from a full stomach or raging heartburn though.
Im in my second trimester with my first baby, and i have to eat 3 meals a day, it would be too hard to eat 2 big meals. First trimester, i would only eat crackers, soups, and sandwiches because that’s the only things i could eat without making me feel nauseous. The main thing is take advise with a grain of salt, and trust your body! Do what makes you feel healthy
Dr berg , I’m at the end of my first trimester very nauseous and I throw up sometimes, I seem to reject healthy food and tolerate carbs better , I went keto before I got pregnant but now it’s hard to eat healthy foods when all you want is to throw up. Any videos I can watch on that ? I’m scared I’m raising my insulin too much 😢
Hi Dr Berg, I love your channel it’s so informative and helpful! I’m 41 and currently doing IF + Keto (since Feb) and I’ve lost a total of 24lbs. My partner and I are now trying to conceive - wold you kindly make a video on how to combine all three (if at all possible). And what I need to do to conceive whilst following these protocols? 🙏🏼🙏🏼✨
I talked to a nutriotionist about the oestrogen in some foods and he immediately started downtalking on me, like in a super arrogant way. That felt weird.
@@ella17734 In fact I also have another nutriotionist at hand. She is a vegetarian female. Didn`t meet her yet, but she seems to be a nicer person than the other guy.However, thanks for that tip.
Love you Dr Berg, but for some reason every time you do your presentations in this dark hallway your voice sounds slightly deeper and nasally, like your congested, weird huh? My favorite is the white board! 🙂
I am unintentionally fasting. My job is wfh but the time is from 10pm-6:30am. Once clocked out, i soeep until 4pm, skipping breakfast and lunch. I eat a lot during dinner time.
I find it so hard to not eat a lot of carbs even though I do intermittent fasting and am currently pregnant I just need to feel full and feel like I'm starving if I just eat protein, vegetables, and nuts That's me
Hey Dr eric.. i have been doing IF for over 70 days now.. it was going great.. i lost over 10kgs and never felt hungry at all.. but now after 70 days.. my hunger is back.. why is it? What should i do?
See this is where I’m confused I’m currently pregnant plus I have type 2 diabetes I do intermittent fasting and keto but my blood sugar is always a little elevated in the morning. My doctor suggests I eat more carbs cause the “baby” needs them but in my head I’m like more carbs equals higher sugar spike! Ugghhh so frustrating
I actually feel more stress fasting during Ramadan and I feel so sick when I can eat, that I'm losing weight and have no energy. I almost feel like I could pass out after I eat a bowl of soup.

Hello doctor, my cumulative sugar is 8 and I panicked, your advice regarding the consumption of bread because I cannot eat without it. Thank you for your efforts.
I eat almond about year i think amount was excessive few weeks & month ago ultrasound show 7.4mm stone what you people suggest how to counter kidney stone
I have a had a thyroidectomy and weight gain has been a challenge. I am breastfeeding an infant can I do intermittent fasting and keto with just one meal? I already do keto and IF but with 2 meals but the weight loss has stopped.
Eat. And, drinking water and eating fresh fruit and raw veggies, will keep you hydrated on the inside. The water from the fruit & veggies helps with that. This helps produce milk. If you eat so much that you give the baby diarrhea, just cut back a little.
i am curious how dr berg treats sick and pregnant people both need a higher nutrition. besides there is always a danger of not eating right. for example my endocrinologist told me there is a danger in not eating a well balanced diet. do not do fasting if possible resume later after recovery. is he right
The pregnancies I did nutrient dense foods and was completely sugar and process food free while avoiding synthetic nutrients was the best. I emphasized well sourced raw egg yolks, salmon roe, organs, healthy animal fats, etc,... GAPS Baby book by Becky Plotner has been invaluable. The Root Cause Protocol Handbook is invaluable because it helps me avoid all the mistakes I made in previous pregnancies.
I heard that up to a certain point all fetuses are female then a wave of testosteron turns it into male. What if I have low estrogen will that increase the chance of the baby being a boy?
Please doctor I want to know how to build muscles while doing intermittent fasting because it increases growth hormone how can I use this hormone to grow my muscles
Hi Dr Berg. What would you advise for IF while on period? I feel more hungry than normal esp for carbs (you'd probably say sugar)... Not sure how to approach without starving to death but also not mess up my IF schedule. TIA
Try extended fasts after period starts and stop long fasts (longer than 15h) around ovulation and until next period. Shaking up routine week to week is also a healthy eating pattern in itself. It's natural to want carbs & stuff so listen to your body, as long as your body's signals aren't confused for bad gut bacteria signals.
I don't think anyone fasts for a month continuously during Ramadan... They only fast between sunrise and sunset during that time. They do eat a meal after sunset and probably also before sunrise
Many pregnant women get way too high insulin. This is very dangerous for the pregnant woman and her growing fetus. With enough nutrients, healthy keto and intermittent fasting are very healthy for the baby and the pregnant woman.
Wow. Fasting of any kind during pregnancy is absolutely NOT recommend! Unless you have other health issues and it's something that your healthcare provider suggests and only with the help of a nutritionist. Even suggesting IF during pregnancy, that is poor judgement.
Could be a lack of potassium. A healthy person usually needs at least 4700mg of potassium a day. Best is blended with other minerals & trace minerals, including salt. Dr Berg has awesome videos on these subjects.
Since Dr. Berg has NEVER been pregnant and I have, I'll answer... EAT! You can have all of these lofty ideas if you want to, but I'm here to tell you, you are not the only one hungry when you are pregnant. Trust me - a total, stranger on social media. If you think starving that baby will help you, you'll be sorry. You'll create deficiencies that may make your child mentally/physically handicapped and that will be harder than fully eating for nine months. Now... Don't you *dare* go off and eat a *whole* box of Twinkies, either! 😂 But honestly, if you eat all of the healthy foods, in the suggested servings, you'll find out that it's a *lot* of food. But, please... Eat! Please! Oh! And, walk. 😊
Babies are the first victims of their mother's gluttony. The consumption of excess food prevents the body from eliminating toxins and produces an impure environment for the baby.
People whose bodies are not fully adapted to keto must not do certain things. For example, the pilot of Pakistan International Airlines that crashed near Karachi was found to have been fasting due to Ramadan, and his low blood sugar levels were known to have been the reason behind some incoherent decisions he took minutes before the fatal crash.

Im in my second trimester with my first baby, and i have to eat 3 meals a day, it would be too hard to eat 2 big meals. First trimester, i would only eat crackers, soups, and sandwiches because that’s the only things i could eat without making me feel nauseous. The main thing is take advise with a grain of salt, and trust your body! Do what makes you feel healthy
Dr berg , I’m at the end of my first trimester very nauseous and I throw up sometimes, I seem to reject healthy food and tolerate carbs better , I went keto before I got pregnant but now it’s hard to eat healthy foods when all you want is to throw up. Any videos I can watch on that ? I’m scared I’m raising my insulin too much 😢

Yes! I was wondering about this. Thank you
Hi Dr Berg, I love your channel it’s so informative and helpful!
I’m 41 and currently doing IF + Keto (since Feb) and I’ve lost a total of 24lbs. My partner and I are now trying to conceive - wold you kindly make a video on how to combine all three (if at all possible). And what I need to do to conceive whilst following these protocols? 🙏🏼🙏🏼✨
Did u conceive
I talked to a nutriotionist about the oestrogen in some foods and he immediately started downtalking on me,
like in a super arrogant way. That felt weird.
I'm sorry. Not all doctors are like Dr. Berg ⭐
Try asking for a female nutritionist and report him for mansplaining. I've had to do that. 🤷
@@ella17734 In fact I also have another nutriotionist at hand. She is a vegetarian female. Didn`t meet her yet, but she seems to be a nicer person than the other guy.However, thanks for that tip.
@@ella17734 you have any consultant
Love you Dr Berg, but for some reason every time you do your presentations in this dark hallway your voice sounds slightly deeper and nasally, like your congested, weird huh? My favorite is the white board! 🙂
I am unintentionally fasting. My job is wfh but the time is from 10pm-6:30am. Once clocked out, i soeep until 4pm, skipping breakfast and lunch. I eat a lot during dinner time.
Do a video on perilla oil, its extremely high in omega 3's. Positives and potentially negatives.
Hi! I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this subject.

Hi Dr Berg. I have a question? Is it okay to take Nature Made Super B-Complex vitamins to get my daily Thiamine Mononitrate (B1)? Thanks
Good morning Dr. Berg .

Yes sir please make more and more pregnancy videos.
How will the ketones affect the fetus?
dr berg describe papaya fruit ?
is there any glycemic index of papya fruit
Sure. Papaya scores 60 on the glycemic index.
Glad it was helpful!
I find it so hard to not eat a lot of carbs even though I do intermittent fasting and am currently pregnant
I just need to feel full and feel like I'm starving if I just eat protein, vegetables, and nuts
That's me
Thank you Dr.Berg 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏💝
You're most welcome!
Hey Dr eric.. i have been doing IF for over 70 days now.. it was going great.. i lost over 10kgs and never felt hungry at all.. but now after 70 days.. my hunger is back.. why is it? What should i do?
It could be your meals were lacking nutrients and the deficiencies accumulated and now you are starving for it?
Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on how to stop cravings? Or his videos on how to do fasting correctly?
See this is where I’m confused I’m currently pregnant plus I have type 2 diabetes I do intermittent fasting and keto but my blood sugar is always a little elevated in the morning. My doctor suggests I eat more carbs cause the “baby” needs them but in my head I’m like more carbs equals higher sugar spike! Ugghhh so frustrating
I actually feel more stress fasting during Ramadan and I feel so sick when I can eat, that I'm losing weight and have no energy. I almost feel like I could pass out after I eat a bowl of soup.
Most world religions exempt pregnant/nursing mothers and sick/elderly from fasting requirements.
What diet is recommended for overweight pre-teens?

I eat almond about year i think amount was excessive few weeks & month ago ultrasound show 7.4mm stone
what you people suggest how to counter kidney stone
Dr Berg’s videos on the subject show a few solutions to kidneys stones.
Almond is high in oxalate…stay away from foods with medium to high oxalates. It causes stones
you can fast while pregnant but it is up to every woman's condition. just rest more during the day if fasting and eat good meals is sahuur and iftar
Can you talk about lower back pain during longer fasts? 3-5 day or more.
Is it your kidneys?
Get the kidneys filtering.
Thanks
I have a had a thyroidectomy and weight gain has been a challenge. I am breastfeeding an infant can I do intermittent fasting and keto with just one meal? I already do keto and IF but with 2 meals but the weight loss has stopped.

Agreed!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

What about during breastfeeding ?
Any tips?
Eat. And, drinking water and eating fresh fruit and raw veggies, will keep you hydrated on the inside. The water from the fruit & veggies helps with that. This helps produce milk. If you eat so much that you give the baby diarrhea, just cut back a little.
Yes two meals a day for you, three for the baby, and put it to sleep on its tummy, not on its back.

He made great videos about breastfeeding.
i am curious how dr berg treats sick and pregnant people both need a higher nutrition. besides there is always a danger of not eating right.
for example my endocrinologist told me there is a danger in not eating a well balanced diet. do not do fasting if possible resume later after recovery. is he right
That’s what Dr Berg explained in this video.
The pregnancies I did nutrient dense foods and was completely sugar and process food free while avoiding synthetic nutrients was the best. I emphasized well sourced raw egg yolks, salmon roe, organs, healthy animal fats, etc,... GAPS Baby book by Becky Plotner has been invaluable. The Root Cause Protocol Handbook is invaluable because it helps me avoid all the mistakes I made in previous pregnancies.
What time Window should a pregnant woman follow?
It depends on hunger and nutrients intake. One may want to use a nutrients app to locate deficiencies and be sure to have all the nutrients needed.
Hi dr Eric
Seems like you haven’t answered the question on ramadhaan fasting
I heard that up to a certain point all fetuses are female then a wave of testosteron turns it into male.
What if I have low estrogen will that increase the chance of the baby being a boy?
I can no longer get pregnant with intermittent fasting 😥 i donnie why!
Please doctor I want to know how to build muscles while doing intermittent fasting because it increases growth hormone how can I use this hormone to grow my muscles
Have you checked all Dr Berg's videos on muscles and fasting?
Hi Dr Berg. What would you advise for IF while on period?
I feel more hungry than normal esp for carbs (you'd probably say sugar)...
Not sure how to approach without starving to death but also not mess up my IF schedule. TIA
Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on how to stop sugar cravings?
He also has videos on periods which may help you too.
Try extended fasts after period starts and stop long fasts (longer than 15h) around ovulation and until next period. Shaking up routine week to week is also a healthy eating pattern in itself. It's natural to want carbs & stuff so listen to your body, as long as your body's signals aren't confused for bad gut bacteria signals.
I don't think anyone fasts for a month continuously during Ramadan... They only fast between sunrise and sunset during that time. They do eat a meal after sunset and probably also before sunrise
🙏🙋♀️🤗😊
No lie. I knew of a woman who only gained weight equal to the weight of the baby once it was born. She herself didn’t put on even an ounce.
Interesting. Do you know her diet and how was the baby’s health afterwards?
Plz discuss abt primary amenorrhea
Hi! I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this subject.
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Ok
Please do NOT fast while pregnant. Eat healthy. For all of us women with eating disorders who get pregnant- take good care 💜
Many pregnant women get way too high insulin. This is very dangerous for the pregnant woman and her growing fetus. With enough nutrients, healthy keto and intermittent fasting are very healthy for the baby and the pregnant woman.
Wow. Fasting of any kind during pregnancy is absolutely NOT recommend! Unless you have other health issues and it's something that your healthcare provider suggests and only with the help of a nutritionist. Even suggesting IF during pregnancy, that is poor judgement.
Did you watch the damn video at all? Why are you here then?
Hello Clea. Could you plz Tel me your train off thought . Too this comment please.
You may want to the video again.
When I fast my cortisol goes through the roof.
Could be a lack of potassium. A healthy person usually needs at least 4700mg of potassium a day. Best is blended with other minerals & trace minerals, including salt. Dr Berg has awesome videos on these subjects.
David Morgan cliff high going viral on silver... bit chute..you werent invited.
Since Dr. Berg has NEVER been pregnant and I have, I'll answer... EAT! You can have all of these lofty ideas if you want to, but I'm here to tell you, you are not the only one hungry when you are pregnant. Trust me - a total, stranger on social media. If you think starving that baby will help you, you'll be sorry. You'll create deficiencies that may make your child mentally/physically handicapped and that will be harder than fully eating for nine months. Now... Don't you *dare* go off and eat a *whole* box of Twinkies, either! 😂 But honestly, if you eat all of the healthy foods, in the suggested servings, you'll find out that it's a *lot* of food. But, please... Eat! Please! Oh! And, walk. 😊
Babies are the first victims of their mother's gluttony. The consumption of excess food prevents the body from eliminating toxins and produces an impure environment for the baby.
He explained just that in this video 😁 may want to listen to it again…after eating an avocado or two 🥑🍳🥑🥑🥑
Why is this even a discussion?!!!!! Seriously
Fasting sounds like a deadly idea for a developing fetus needing all its nutrients
@@mo1240 I just can’t believe someone would even consider doing this while pregnant. It’s very disturbing.
Somebody help me. plz. they threatening me. plz help
👍🏻💙💛
The more you dig islam the more you learn life and health.
People whose bodies are not fully adapted to keto must not do certain things. For example, the pilot of Pakistan International Airlines that crashed near Karachi was found to have been fasting due to Ramadan, and his low blood sugar levels were known to have been the reason behind some incoherent decisions he took minutes before the fatal crash.
Like the Ramadan input and inclusivity
Probably woman have emailed him asking the question which is a good question.
Excellent point
Is it safe? The answer is simple no
Aly and Pearl say that women find an excuse to turn into fat whales while pregnant.
