Today while on the way to a lunch appointment, Daniel asked me in the car,

“So are you going to continue drinking pruvit?”

Without missing a beat, my reply was,

“Why not? I think got pregnant thanks to pruvit ah why should I stop? Ive never been in better health and I want what is best for my body”

Daniel then laughed.

The rational to continue drinking

Now thinking back while typing this, I think I see the change in my life. The last time I’ve fallen sick was almost 2 years ago while I used to go get an MC every 2 to 3 weeks. I got my health back, became the hottest I’ve ever been, and went back to the gym. But that is my own story.

But won’t I be worried?

Of cos, I would worry! I googled an article that day looking at what causes kids to have autism and they linked it to vitamin b, and when I saw the amount of vitamin B in our ketones, of cos I freaked out. But further research actually enlightened me that our body can only take in this amount of water-soluble vitamins and the rest is just passed out.

Research research research

So I think it is important to know yourself, do your research, and communicate with your doctor. I have yet to see my doctor from KKH yet but I will be sure to ask if I can still be on ketones!

I do find it funny that we get so freaked out with taking things that we know are good for our body but don’t even bat an eyelash when we drink bubble tea or sweet coffee.

Also, fun fact!! Babies get into a mild state of ketosis soon after birth and they stay in that state as long as they are kept solely on breastmilk. And mama’s breastmilk does contain a lot of fats! And if the mama is ketogenic, ketone bodies do get passed through the placenta into the fetus. Super baby anyone?? You can read more here!

So do what you are comfortable with!

Im not advocating pregnant mums to go on a keto diet nor am I advising them to be on ketones. I feel it is the responsibility of each individual to be responsible adults and do their due diligence. I have been researching and learning as well as went for nutritional courses for me to draw my own conclusion and I think everyone should too!

So at the end of the day, it is not blind faith for me, it is science and research. So for now, I will just stick to the non-caffeinated ones (For the sake of my long-suffering hubby before I turn into a monster).

Thats all for now and I’m looking forward to go for my first doctor appointment at KKH in a few day! So stay happy and positive! Love ya!
