Well,
I'm not doing the diet really just low cal, low salt, low protein, low-no sugar but I am eating more fruit and veg so I could post but I don't know if there is much point? I would like to though but might start tomorrow as haven't been so good today (not trying yet though).

Hi,
Im glad im not the only one! I had my corn flakes with rice milk late. Then ate out for lunch which was really hard so I had a greek salad! In hind sight I should have asked for no olives and of course i ate them! Then I ate lots of pastry off my sons pie! Then i had a salt free cereal bar and apple at tea time. Later Im having some sugar free rice pudding made with rice milk.
I know this is a bad day but its still not as boyish as I used to eat.

By the way Atomic, Thanks so much for helping us I love reading your replies and you are really supportive Thanks so much x

Oh, thanks! I LOVE it when people get their DG so it's great fun to me to be a very small part of it.

I thought about this last night and came up with a little different way to think of it.

Any time you change your diet your body is going to sit up and take note. Your body doesn't know that you're "supposed" to be eating this or that, and it's not waiting around for a magic threshold to be crossed to conceive a baby of a particular gender, and it doesn't hold a grudge against you if you eat something different than what is on some random diet plan. It just notices that your diet is all of a sudden different than it used to be and at the end of the day, THAT is what sways. Not what you ate on any one day or another. Your body sees a change has been made and responds to it. So if you're eating breakfast less often (even if you eat it more than you wanted to) and you're eating a salad at lunch instead of a roast beef sandwich (even if you ate some olives with it) your body won't know any different at all. Your body will just think, "Hmm, things have seemed to have taken a turn for the worse around here. I wonder if food has gotten less plentiful" and it will respond accordingly.

It's good to set your sights very high on this diet and be strict with yourself, because then if you slip up you're worrying over some olives or ranch dressing rather than a Big Mac. But you shouldn't beat yourself up over small cheats here and there as long as they are not big cheats at every meal!
