It's probably best if she waits. I've read alot of stuff on this recently - she can cut down her carbs - but she doesn't want to get into ketosis while she's nursing. Usual advice is that they can do the maintenance version while nursing - and go from there.

I used the search function of this site and found quite a few threads regarding nursing and low carb:

Here
and
Here

And, of course, there's the Women's Forum which has the pregnancy and low carb lifestyle sticky.

MY advice is to tell your sister to do whatever her doctor says. And you really need to buy another book if you can't find yours.

I tell her to ask her doctor what he/she thinks about that, everyone is different and I have read several different things about it. Or simply just low carbs or limit junk food and eat healthier foods.
