“Let’s talk breastfeeding and #keto,” shebegan the Instagram post. “This subject is quite taboo it seems. A lot of naysayers rattle off falsehoods like ‘you have to eat oats to produce sufficient milk’. Seriously ridiculous.”
While Jameson acknowledged that she “thought the same thing for a long time,” she went on to discover that she was “absolutely wrong,” as her milk supply actually increased from being in full ketosis. Ketosis is when your body is in a metabolic state where fat provides a majority of the body’s fuel, according toHealthline.
“When I started my #weightlossjourney I slowly subtracted carbohydrates over a week long period while monitoring my supply,” she explained. “I’m not quite sure why I thought processed foods contributed to my fabulous supply. I was absolutely wrong. The moment I got into full ketosis my milk increased.”
“I think a lot of people think Keto is all about bacon salami and copious amounts of cheese,” she continued. “It’s actually quite well rounded with lots of organic veggies, fish and eggs.”
In her final words, Jameson noted that not “all women are the same” and encouraged her followers to start slowly and research and monitor their progress. “Nursing and keto go hand in hand 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻” she proudly finished.
The recent post on Wednesday wasn’t the first time that Jameson has spoken about mothers practicing the keto diet while breastfeeding.
Over the summer, the star celebrated breastfeeding Batel for 16 months and clarified whether she thought the eating plan was safe to do in the midst of nursing a young one.
“From my experience it ABSOLUTELY is!” shewrote. “My supply is healthy and strong, I haven’t seen any dips in supply, letdowns, or in Batellis reaction to taste.”

The star also revealed earlier this month her daughter is anunlikely supporter of the eating plan.
The mother of three spoke to her followerswhile cooking keto-approvedcabbage and shaved steak for lunch. She said she usually adds jasmine rice or pasta for Batel, but that her toddler tends to take more to the keto parts of the meal.
“She does prefer keto foods,” Jameson said on her Instagram Stories. “I think it’sbecause she’s breastfed andmy breast milk probably tastes like keto. I have keto boobs, guys!”
