Thank you Mama Bern!

Mahahappy na naman si Mia kasi madami na naman siya food sa mga susunod na araw dahil hirap pa daw magluto si mama at papa dahil wala pa po silang kusina. 🤣😘😘😘

At dahil kailangan ng buntis at ng baby Mia namin ng real and nutrient-dense food, ito na Doc Fi ang liempo, ham, inantala and cooking tallow para sa quality protein and fats ninyo ♥️♥️♥️

Sorry baby Mia, di pa nagagawa ni Papa Lew itry magpadala ng smoked chicken at sausages dyan at ang ibang requests mong meat hehehe

I used to say that I am a Low Carb advocate but now I introduce myself as a Low Carb Prescribing Physician because it is also my obligation to teach people on how to optimize nutrition in management of chronic metabolic diseases.

Yes, I prescribe. I give diet prescription kahit na hirap ang pasyente maghanap ng RND that will convert my macros into serving sizes of foods.

The only reason why I also refer most of my patients to my sister-in-law, na isang Registered Nutritionist Dietitian, ay dahil sa kanya lang ako nakakasiguro na nauunawaan niya ang Low Carb Nutrition including the adjustments, transitions, and experiences.

I prescribe it the way I used to prescribe medication. So again, I am not just a Low Carb advocating physician, I am a L0W CARB PRESCRIBING PHYSICIAN.

Low carb must be part of the dietary guideline and options ESPECIALLY BUT NOT LIMITED to people suffering from metabolic diseases. However, many healthcare professionals lalo na sa Pinas, would not only discourage patients to try Low Carb but even scare them in doing so, kahit na sila mismo ay di pa nagsasagawa ng in-depth study at sila din mismo ay kulang ang pagkakaunawa sa Low Carb Nutrition. If you want to scare people, at least have the diligence first to know what Low carb is all about and the physiologic basis that supports it.

Low Carb is NOT a FAD diet
Ketosis is NOT ketoacidosis
Fat is NOT an enemy
Sugar is NOT the only fuel for the body
Carbohydrate is NOT essential
Obesity is NOT mainly due to fat consumption
Calorie counting is NOT as efficient as carb counting
Physically fit is NOT synonymous to metabolicaly healthy
Exercise is NOT an alternative to good nutrition in treating metabolic health
Medicine does NOT cure metabolic disease

I can go on and on with all the myths but I hope the list would rather spark your curiosity to investigate and study further.

❤️,
Doc Fi

Why Doc Fi went MIA. There is actualy more to life than just food and exercise. Listen to the rest of the video and I hope that moving forward, I could share better health and wellness practices with you all.

This is how I survived as a pregnant woman with diabetes on her first trimester while experiencing nausea ang food aversion. During the first trimester, many pregnant women would experience nausea, dizziness, morning sickness and food aversion due to the rise of human chorionic gonadotropin (which is protective of maintaining the pregnancy) and other hormonal changes. Food aversion is also a protective mechanism making a pregnant woman stay away from possible toxic foods. However, due to the availability of modern day ultra processed foods, pregnant woman may also lean to eating this nonnutrient food as they are more palatable especially during the time when they experience food aversion.

Whenever I can't tolerate pure meat and eggs, I would incorporate salad. I also got help from my low carb product seller friends for keto and low carb condiments and sauce. I am glad that I was able to grab a copy of Lily Nichol's book "Real Food for Pregnancy" coz it really helps me a lot in choosing what to incorporate during the first trimester.

I talked to Mama Jedd (Owner of Jedders Greendahan) when I first experienced food aversion during pregnancy, kaya isa siya sa mga unang nakaalam. I asked her to send me their vinaigrette, caesar dressing, tomato italian ketchup and even requested na gawa niya ako ng mayonnaise (coz wala ako skill at tiyaga talaga to create these my own). I also ordered their pork skin chicharon and other chicharon for my snack coz I eat like every 3-4 hours hours during the first trimester kasi unti unti lang ang kaya ko kainin pero madalas ako magutom. And I also asked her to formulate a low carb pancake mix for me na walang almond flour. Haha! I am so blessed to have a trusted friends na I can rely on na alam ko din kung ano ang ingredients. (Reminder: Wag lang kayo magrely sa label na "keto" or "low carb approved". Test your blood sugar an hour after consumption to see if it will spike your blood sugar or not coz I am telling you, I bought a "keto dessert" from a certain store but my bood sugar after an hour spiked up to 126 to think na all products they sell are keto products tapos nakahanap ako dito ng seller which mostly offers high carb pastry but the owner is knowledgeable sa keto and she customized a keto cheesecake for me and my one hour blood sugar only ranges sa 86 to 92)

To all keto mamas, how is your keto/lowcarb pregnancy experience? Tell me about it in the comment section. Follow my page as I walk you through my pregnancy nutrition 😊.

Kung hindi padin nag-iimprove ang kalusugan mo despite doing low carb and fasting for a very long time, maaaring dahil nakafocus ka lang sa low carb at fasting without fixing thr other factors that also contribute to a healthy body.

All of these are important at hindi dapat pabayaan:
