Any Diet Details?
I tried to stick to the LE diet with a few elements from the IG diet (e.g. excluding foods like potatoes, bananas and tomatoes). I incorporated 3 serves/day of low fat dairy into my diet as I was vegan when I fell pregnant with my DS. I tried to keep salt down, calories low, protein low and nutrients low where possible. I was eating twice a day with no snacking but as time went on it became harder to stick to so the last few months of my sway were considerably more relaxed because I was getting incredibly skinny. I skipped breakfast every day and dropped 10 kgs. I added a lot of aspartame to food and in the last few months drank a diet coke every day.
