Did you follow a diet plan? Yes
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I was normally eating a very boy-friendly diet, although pescatarian. I am slim, so I ate lots of added protein and calorie rich foods. I snacked constantly, always had breakfast, and loved cereal at any hour of the day.
The LE diet was hard but I did the best I could. Skipped breakfast, ate around noon, stayed between 1500-1800 calories. I always went over on my sodium but tried to stay within the other limits. I ended up losing about 10lbs with a BMI of 18.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? 12 weeks
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Comments regarding DH's diet- -Husband didn't follow the diet but he is a very light eater. Usually has a piece of fruit for breakfast and survive on carrot juice and plantain chips all day until a vegan dinner. He was a vegetarian for our last son and now full vegan.
DId you consume alcohol?- A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine? Yes, I had 1 drink per day
Any Diet Details? I was taking a shot nightly but it started messing with my stomach so I decreased it to 3 times a week. I was never a coffee drinker before so I drank a 10oz cup every morning for the sway.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: The exercise. I was never very active due to always trying to put on weight not lose it, so that was a huge change. I refused to snack by any means. And hubby has never abstained a day before in his life since age 14, so 6 days was a huge difference for him.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Too much sodium on occasions. My last son was conceived with one attempt, while using the pull out method, not TTC, no big O, but not swaying. He really wanted to be here.
Things worth mentioning: I am so nervous as this is our last child and I'm almost positive this is another boy even though I still have hope. I have moderate nausea, no vomiting, carrying high. I know symptoms are not a tell but, so far the pregnancy has been a lot like my DS2.
So happy for you Treens, congratulations Sent from my SM-A225F using Tapatalk
