Diet

[Lynn0382]

What is the difference with the diet, IGD,LE, FD? I know what they are but can't find a list concerning their differences.

Also, I see the success rates for 13-17wk is best. So that means everyday for that amount of time or do you take a break. Seems like a long time for "diet". Anyone do it just Af-O?

French Gender Diet is the original swaying diet and it focuses on mineral content of foods alone (namely calcium, magnesium and Vit. D for pink, sodium and potassium for blue) It's not a bad diet when done as written and in fact is not too dissimilar to LE Diet (just as a coincidence, I didn't do that at all intentionally and hadn't even read the FGD when I made the LE Diet) but only when you actually do it AS WRITTEN

IGD is InGender Diet. Some Internet ladies mixed together the FGD with some other theories like hormones and pH and came up with the IGD. IVHMO it is TOOOOO strict, very hard to stick to and for some women with PCOS and those who eat too much dairy, eggs, and other nutrient dense foods it can actually sway blue.

LE Diet is my diet that I came up with based not on minerals but on newer research that indicates nutrients overall, the amount and type of fat/protein you get, blood sugar levels, sway and that all the mineral stuff was only because it accidentally tapped into that (foods that are different in mineral content are different in everything content!) Plus it is designed above all else to be a healthy prepregnancy diet based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization and reproductive endocrinologists.

For a while a few people tried to combine IG + LE and it was a starvation diet that was impossible to stick with. I had to put a stop to that within only a few months because people were fainting and getting eating disorders and stuff. But you can mix LE + FGD - it is hard to stick to, but it is doable and safe if you take care not to get too restrictive.

Anything longer than 12 weeks has gotten good results. The stats for number of weeks varies but anything more than 12 works. You can see why it's pretty important to follow a diet that you can actually stick to and be happy on for that length of time!

No, you cannot go off and on diet. Our data shows clearly that 2-4 weeks got very poor results on diet, and 12 weeks or more got good results. furthermore, the people who dieted for 2-3 weeks were very strict while those who dieted 12 weeks or more are much more relaxed (you have to be to stick to the diet that long) So you're shooting yourself in the foot going off and on diet - it's not helping your sway at all and you'd probably be better off not dieting at all in that case.
