Hello,
I'm an "Old Member" but I am currently working very hard on my WL. I've lost 68 lbs so far! Which is awesome, it's great, but I still need to lose another 30 lbs to reach my 1st goal. Then another 50 after that. But I hit a wall after losing 64 lbs so I did the Bariactric Diet with my DH, who just had WLS. That broke through the "Plateau" wall, so if anything I know I can return to that. But I wanted to ask my fellow "Cysters" and see what they thought.
But getting back to the Paleo Diet. It basically puts your body into Ketosis, which for WL is great, but it says for Fertility it is not, which is a BIG reason why I was going to try it. Here is what I read and at the end is the link.
Here is a copy of what I read: If you’re trying to increase your fertility or if you’re currently pregnant, ketosis can actually be counterproductive. Fertility is greatest when the body feels well-nourished (which makes perfect sense: evolutionary, conceiving a child during a time of food scarcity could be very dangerous), so a very low carbohydrate diet that imitates starvation is not ideal for conception. Similarly, the healthiest nutritional state during pregnancy is being consistently well-nourished; ketosis can be dangerous for both mother and baby.
