New....question

NickiChick · January 2012

This is my first cycle ttc. I've been on a low calorie diet (1650 cal a day) to loose 1lb a week. I've lost 7lb so far and I'm eating 3 healthy meals a day. My question is....now that DH and I had decided to ttc should I discontinue the diet now? When I get a BFP or after the first trimester? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I was on a low carb diet before TTC, I lost 40 lbs, I stopped it before TTC because I heard it can be bad for early pregnancy and a growing fetus.

As long as you aren't doing anything drastic, such as Atkins or south beach that cuts out certain foods, this is a perfectly fine diet. I am also just eating healthier and smaller portions to try to lose weight. Just make sure the calories per day are recommend for someone with your height and weight.When you do get that BFP, you actually only need 300 more calories a day. So what you are doing seems fine, especially because you are only trying to lose a pound at a time. A healthy diet is never a bad thing, but I would suggest taking a PNV if you aren't already. Vitamins should always be taken while dieting.

As long as you are choosing to spend your calories on healthy food, your diet should not affect TTC. Once you get your BFP, you should stop cutting calories.
