Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, Certified LEAP Therapist, Certified Pilates Instructor, and author Lily Nichols is our guest today in Episode 962 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Gestational diabetes has become more and more commonplace in modern society with the rise in insulin resistance that manifests itself once a woman becomes pregnant. This is something that doesn't surprise a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, Certified LEAP Therapist and Certified Pilates Instructor named Lily Nichols from The Pilates Nutritionist. Her nutrient-dense, whole foods low-carb approach has helped her patients dealing with this scary situation during pregnancy overcome the major issues at hand. Lily has written a new book about this subject entitled Real Food for Gestational Diabetes: An Effective Alternative to the Conventional Nutrition Approach and it's the very first time a whole food-based, lower carb diet has been recommended for managing gestational diabetes. Listen in as Jimmy and Lily get into the nitty of why blood sugar control is the key to managing and beating gestational diabetes.
