Anyone else enjoying the sweet stuff!!

[keepthefaith]

Ok so main thing getting me through sway and daily exercise is my third meal of day where I am having sweets, cakes or chocolate! Keeping within my protein, fat and calorie limits and enjoying supper time immensely! Anyone else the same? 😉

Oh yes! I eat junky things and sweetened drinks which I normally avoid completely. I think sugar is a great pink sway tactic provided you don't have insulin issues. After my last pregnancy, I completely lost my taste for dark chocolate (and it has never come back, so sad, but good for my sway) so I just have white chocolate, in small amounts.

As long as you are losing some weight (or at the least not gaining it) and do not have PCOS/IR that is fine! :) Enjoy.

:agree: I also like white chocolate now which I never did before! Weird!

I'm not eating much sugar most days.. Should I have more?

I have sweet stuff everyday makes up my calories!

I'm loving the empty calories of lollies! Jelly beans etc are def getting me through. I was drinking wine as my empty calories but now that I've stopped I'm losing weight. Before I wasn't! I've never liked sweets much but am enjoying them on this diet.

THere is no hard or fast rule. It is about what works best FOR YOU as an individual and not others.

I ate alot of sweets on le diet I think because I was missing my muffins, cakes etc which I would eat more frequently before! I often had my hand in my boys lolly jar!! All good as long as you are not going over your totals X

Until my last pregnancy, I enjoyed dark choc and liked white choc, and have always hated milk choc. Now, I can barely tolerate small amounts of dark choc (but still love brownies!) and definitely enjoy white more than I did before. Was your change in taste associated with your last pregnancy?

I had cravings and avoidances in my earlier pregnancies that went past 5-6 weeks, but they never extended past pregnancy.

For me, eating more sweet stuff and refined/°processed foods is a big part of what enables me to stick to the diet and avoid animal protein and fatty foods, especially since I usually don't eat much sweets/junk and DO eat high fat. So it's like a consolation prize - if I can't have the super healthy fatty/protein foods I crave, at least I can have the mostly empty cals sweet junk that used to be a rare treat.

What kind of sweets are allowed? Does it need to be low fat lollies or is cakes and chocolates and ice cream ok too? Do they need to be some sort of low fat muffins lol.

I am hopeless at counting calories so I have just eaten 2-3 times a day finishing one of these meals with dessert just to get enough calories. I need about 1800 cal a day.

Chocolate difficult to fit in I find as high fat but if you work it out can fit it in. I eat cakes and biscuits to make up numbers. Mini battenburgs, cherry bake wells and fondant fancies (Uk) are my usual ones! Also foxes glacier fruits have calories but no protein or fat so are good! X

Now it's getting colder, low cal instant hot chocolate is good for a warming chocolate hit!

They are all allowed provided they fit in totals for the day.

Remember, you need a minimum of 25 g of fat and some go up as high as 60 g fat - and really that is plenty of fat to enable you to enjoy some treats now and then.

LE Diet is not about cutting out fat all together, you need some fat or you will stop ovulating

I eat either moderate servings of low fat/fat free treats OR very small servings (a few bites) of full fat treats like white chocolate OR I sometimes (max once a week) have a small-normal serving of full fat ice cream or cake/pastry. So most days my treats are filling but low fat OR high fat but just a nibble, with occasional larger fatty cheat treats no more than once a week

I personally don't have more than one or two small squares of dark choc per week since I feel it's a strong blue sway food. If I want something with chocolate I eat 1 oreo cookie or a few bites of brownie.
