Could it be the carbs?

My husband and I are trying to have a baby, so I figured I would switch up my diet to get in shape before getting pregnant. I started doing low carb but it's only making me gain weight! It's weird, the only place I am gaining though is my belly area and my boobs seem to be getting bigger. I'm always hungry for the weirdest foods now! Am I just having weird cravings since I have cut out carbs? If I start eating carbs again, will my stomach and boobs go back down?

Yes, please eat ALL.THE.CARBS. And make sure to smoke two packs a day and drink a gallon of wine a day. You will be tiny again in no time!0

Yes, eliminate them completely and replace with HCG \m/0

Haven't you heard of those IT WRAPZ things? I hear they work. If you wrap it around your belly, you can lose like 5 inches instantly!0

Oh I thought that was some kind of food you were talking about. I like wraps but they have carbs.0 -
It sounds like you are already pregnant.0

Well by eating carbs, you will never lose that weight!0 -
Congratulations on trying to start a family, that's wonderful!
Have you checked with your Dr first? You know they always say you should ask a Dr when trying to get pregnant or lose weight.
What have you replaced all the carbs with? Have you been eating a lot of meat? I hear eating a lot of meat helps.0 -

That's what I was thinking as well.0 -

When I was pregnant, I gained weight in my butt too. If she didn't gain weight in her butt, maybe she is just getting fat?0 -

Meat helps which part? Getting pregnant or losing weight?0 -

I don't think so. We have only been trying for about a month now.0 -

Yes it is most definitely the carbs... Make sure you eat a lot of Tuna, hot dogs and sushi as well. That will counteract the effect of the carbs.

I did not gain weight in my butt, but in my belly (obviously ) and boobs. 0 -
I think you're pregnant...0

Yea, I think she's just getting fat. She's probably eating too much sugar. Sugar is evil and makes you gain weight.0 -

Well I like all of those but I heard if you eat too much tuna you can get mercury poisioning. Could that cause trouble for me since I am trying to have a baby?0 -
You're on a roll today!! From 90 year old grand parents sleeping in a tent in your yard to trying to get pregnant. That playroom should come in handy for that.0

You are getting bloated from your body adjusting to the low carbs. It will go away but in the meantime, you should buy a corset two sizes two small and then tighten it as tight as it will go. This will allow your stomach muscles to maintain their shape so they don't get stretched out during the adjustment period.0

It only takes one time. Take an EPT.0 -
You haven't been lifting heavy, have you? Because chicks get bulky if they lift heavy. Sounds like you are getting bulky to me. Maybe less core exercises. That should help you get rid of that fat, disgusting tummy!0

Low carb (under 100g or so) can be an impediment to getting pregnant / optimal fertility from what I've read.
I haven't looked into it myself so I can't vouch for the veracity of the idea but I will see if I can find the sources.0 -

Nah! I ate Tuna sandwiches from Subway every week while pregnant and she's fine.... except for the extra toes and fingers.0 -
I say put the damn carbs back in....stock up on Smokes....coffee....and of course Vodka and have yourself a little party!
Oh and when your boobs get bigger...you are most definitely getting fat!0 -

I HAVE been lifting. That explains it!0 -
How sweet!
You built a sex play room and now you want to get knocked up! Well, your husband's gym is just a few steps outside in your "guest house" Spend more time in your "adult play room" and I'm sure you'll both lose weight and get knocked up!.
But...where will you put your 3rd kid when the other two are already bunking? well, I'm sure it'll be awhile before #2 realizes there are weird things in the nursery.0 -

I believe people are picking on you because those are all the symptoms of pregnancy. Better check. If not- could be PMS. Cutting carbs will not cause those problems.0
