Hi everyone,

I started the LE diet a week and a half ago and I’m just about getting used to it, although sometimes still starving. I was planning on being on the diet for 12 weeks before our first attempt to conceive but my husband has been sent to a country where Zika is present, and the advice is to postpone trying to get pregnant for 3 months. So by the time he comes back the 3 months will start, meaning that I will have been on the diet for 15 weeks by that point (probably 15-17 weeks before that cycle’s ovulation). I’m just wondering if it’s best to come off the diet now and wait to re-start so I don’t lose too much weight or get too disheartened, or if it’s better to keep going now I’ve started so I don’t have to go through the difficult adjustment period at the beginning of the diet again?

what I'd have you do is just go vegetarian for now. Stop worrying about the calories and protein and fat limits, just be a happy vegetarian and eat what you want, then closer to when you're ready to start trying, then go on the full LE Diet at that time.
