Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I went mostly vegetarian with only white meat occasionally (once a week or every two weeks). I am breastfeeding so I stayed in the upper limits for calories, was usually around 40g for protein but almost always at 60g or slightly over for fat. I had a really hard time staying low on fat without losing too much weight. I always delayed breakfast and had three meals a day with no snacking. I often worked dessert into my totals for the day. I didn't worry too much about avoiding certain foods except olive oil and avocados (rarely had either when I used to eat them a lot)
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
12 weeks
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Yes
Did DH change his diet with you?
Yes
Comments regarding DH's diet-
He ate a lot less meat and only had red meat a few times for the last 10 weeks. Drank coffee with soy milk most days, drank almost every night, and partook in "special cigarettes" most nights.
DId you consume alcohol? Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?
No, I drink caffeine regularly
Any Diet Details?
Coffee every day- at least one cup but usually two or three
Alcohol almost every night with dinner
Stopped drinking tea and almost never had milk or cereal which I used to have every day

Not really, I don't believe in them but I did coincidentally have my nails painted pink
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I was on the diet 12 weeks, included fiber, alcohol, and coffee, I am breastfeeding, low bmi, and I was very relaxed and didn't obsess over small details
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I was pretty high in fat, at the upper limits and sometimes over. We accidentally had two attempts. I didn't include exercise which I know can really help a sway.
Things worth mentioning:
I was breastfeeding and just had cycles return at 27 months pp.
