Briana Culberson and her husband, Ryan, are counting down the days until they can welcome their third baby to their brood. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum has shared the secrets to maintaining her Keto-friendly diet while pregnant since announcing that she was expecting. And now, at 37 weeks pregnant, she’s opening up on Instagram about how she’s made this “by far [her] healthiest pregnancy yet.” 

On November 3, Briana snapped a quick mirror selfie to flaunt her adorable growing baby bump. Vicki Gunvalson’s daughter wore a classic, white tee and her go-to pair of black leggings with a pair of shearling slippers to show off her bump.

In her caption, Briana opened up about remaining on the Keto diet while pregnant. “I have a lot of health problems including lupus and a clotting disorder among other medical diagnoses,” Briana explains in her November 3 Instagram post. “My team of doctors have all told me that it is healthy for ME to continue the ketogenic diet throughout this pregnancy. This is my 6th pregnancy, we have had 3 miscarriages. This is by far my healthiest pregnancy yet.”

Briana shared that her struggles to shed pounds after her first two children are what led her to embrace a Keto lifestyle. “With my other 2 boys I gained way too much weight than I’m comfortable with sharing, it’s embarrassing…I’ve only gained 30 lbs this pregnancy and have only bought 1 pair of maternity pants and 1 pair of maternity shorts. Other than that I am still in my same clothing I was in prior to my pregnancy at my lowest weight.”

“Ryan and I have been keto for almost 3 years,” she said. “It’s become a lifestyle and we don’t stress over counting macros or calories. We aim to stay under 20g net carbs per day just by using mental math. For me personally I don’t want to obsess about what I’m eating or track too much because I will become consumed by it.”
