Thoughts on Carbs

[Guest guest]

I thought it would be nice to have a thread devoted to carbohydrates and,

specifically, recommendations by Taubes and others regarding daily intake, etc.

I, for one, am trying to limit my intake right now and increase my fat intake to

lose some postpartum weight, but I'm not quite sure where that line is-- I'm 5'4

and weigh about 175lbs, and I'm nursing my 17 month, 28lb daughter to the tune

of about 20 times in a 24 hour period, so I definitely eat plenty of food.

Should nursing mothers be concerned about ketones? Any thoughts on carb intake

for the nursing mom and for folks in general?
