But now, fans are concerned that there may be more about this diet that sucks.
“Does anyone know if Chelsea was doing the keto diet during her latest pregnancy?” pondered user bellalett on reddit. “I was curious because I’ve read that pregnant women shouldn’t be on that diet.”
“When they’ve tested the keto diet on pregnant mice they were born with enlarged hearts and smaller than normal heads,” pointed out awolfsvalentine, even linking to the study itself. They added, “Organ growth and development was affected enough to cause organ dysfunction which can lead to potential failure.” User Thekodamama agreed, “Unless you know what you’re doing and you’ve had a conversation with your doctor about it, it’s not something someone should just do to keep the baby fat down. I don’t doubt she’s being cautious though, she doesn’t seem to be the type to do it without being sure.”
But Chelsea hasn’t even confirmed that she’s doing keto, just that she’s not eating many carbs. And many argued that her diet was perfectly safe.
“A ketogenic diet is also very similar to the gestational diabetes diet. It’s perfectly safe and even optimal to cut out refined carbs,” pointed out teainjuly. User Apocalypticpplparty chimed in, “Some people consider keto diet has only meat fruits and veggies… She could very well be getting enough nutritional value.”
This isn’t the first time that Chelsea’s diet has come under scrutiny. Many fans have even expressed concern that she may have developed an eating disorder!
