Good Morning!
I'd like some clarity in regards to food intake while swaying blue. From my understanding, what we are looking for is nutrient density in the foods we eat, basically, abundance of nutrients and ease (less stress) sways blue and lack of nutrients and a more harsh environment sways pink. Correct?
Does the type of calorie make a difference here? My diet is and has been for a long time, low carb. I don't eat starches or fruit and I have no desire to. I eat lots of fat and moderate protein in the form of fatty fish, dark cuts of meat,eggs, nuts and tons of leafy greens and other veggies. How would this affect my boy sway? I can easily eat 2000 calories, no problem. I take calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and my multi as well as b-12 injections. Dairy consumption is low. I eat some hard cheese, cream and recently added greek yogurt.
As far as keeping "blood sugar" up, it's the frequency of meals that does this. In fact, when coaching my clients for weight loss, I strongly advise against snacking and stick to 3 meals per day. So, it isn't necessarily the types of food that will keep blood sugar elevated, its just getting food in period. I've added two snacks in between my 3 meals which means I'm now eating every 3 hours pretty much. Is this what we are aiming for in the HE diet?
During my first pregnancy, I was obese (started TTC at 233Lbs) and after DD's birth, I continued to gain weight and reached an all time high of 300Lbs. I had PCOS and obviously insulin resistance, so understandably, I don't want a repeat. I'm at a good weight, my lifestyle is totally opposite of what it was then and I've had a long 9 year journey to get to where I am today:)
I'm moderately active and walk alot (10k+ steps per day), but I don't jog or run. I plan to start lifting weights in the next week or so and I'd like to catch my December egg. Is my lifestyle in accordance to a blue sway? Can I go for it without starches and fruit?
Also, just to be very clear, PH is irrelevant right? I've read the info on here in regards to that, but I also know that animal products and dairy can make an acidic environment.
Thank you for all of your efforts and the wonderful information you provide here :)
