TTC and doing atkins diet!

[Nikki1979]

Hi,
I am ttc and at the same time want to lose weight following the atkins diet ( Low carb). Has anyone tried this? I have tried all sorts of diets in the past - low fat, reduced calories etc and found that low carb works best for me.
Normally I wouldnt try to lose weight while ttc but after trying for almost 3 years, I dont wanna hold off anymore.

In 2010 i lost nearly 4 stone doing atkins diet. I then ttc once i had lost the weight. I became pregnant first cycle and starting to eat a normal diet. I put the 4 stone back on whilst carrying my dd.

I am doing doing portion control and healthy eating and the weight is coming off slowly, but healthily. I want to ttc number 2 once i lose the weight and i know because my diet is healthy i shouldnt put as much back on if i stick to it during pregnancy.

Speak to your doctor though.
