3 reasons not to follow a low carbohydrate diet while breastfeeding?
After a mother has given birth, it is natural to be concerned about losing weight is gained during pregnancy as soon as possible. Most popular diets are rich in protein and low carbohydrate diet like Atkins and South Beach. Most of us we are more aware that breastfeeding, all other things, all things being equal, is the best way to feed your baby, but breastfeeding is compatible with one of these low-carb diets people?
1. The first thing to consider here is the anxiety of the mother to lose weight after childbirth. As the weight was gradually acquired, it is generally preferable to losing over a period of time. Low-carbohydrate diets may promise a '14lbs weight loss in "14 days and the like, but this is never an option in otherwise healthy, no matter who you are, if you are breastfeeding or not. The breast feeding actually helps mothers lose weight anyway and medical research suggests that it is suitable for new mothers who do not actively start trying to lose weight by dieting for 2 months, preferably should be stretched when your child starts solids at 6 months.
2. The second thing to consider is the health of the mother. Low-Carb Diets have a high potential of patients because they are not balanced. These systems are generally low in fiber, minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium, and antioxidants and Folic acid and other parts of a balanced diet. It can also be rich in protein fat. Along with this much weight loss as a result obtained of these projects may be the loss of water and therefore dehydration can be a risk if a lot of drinking water. It is quite stressful after birth caring for your newborn can be exhausting until you have established routines with your baby. Why do you want to add the possibility of dehydration and not to dose balanced body of vitamins and minerals needed to help recover from pregnancy and childbirth?
3. The third thing to consider is the health of your baby. There are some reasons why the health of your baby may be affected by a diet low in carbohydrates. First, some mothers have found that by following a diet low in carbohydrates Milk production has fallen. Turn off the power supply usually provides milk to the required standards. By limiting your intake of certain foods, there possibility that the milk is not the necessary level of vitamins your baby needs. Diets low in carbohydrates usually put the body in a state called ketosis. It is unknown whether ketones can be transmitted through breast milk for the child and the impact on health. The Atkins website advises mothers to start their maintenance by consumption plan is much higher food carbohydrate that its point of departure.
In summary, we recommend that nursing mothers to eat a diet healthy and balanced at all and a diet low in carbohydrates really should be avoided. Like all things medical, there are always exceptions in certain circumstances and if not sure, because of special circumstances, a physician should be consulted.
