Le diet question
Hello everyone. A question about the diet. I have 4 children and don't have time to make some of the amazing meals I've seen on here. Is anyone doing something simple, like eating a bagel with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a Yoplait yogurt for lunch? And what about dinner? Does anyone use the salad dressings they sell at the supermarket? I don't have time to make my own. And how many times a week can you have pasta and rice? Sorry I'm sure this has been asked before.

That is EXACTLY what I did. I didn't do anything elaborate whatsoever (I actually have some pics to download, I'll try to find time to do that today.) I did a lot of toast, baked potato, hummus wraps, bean burritos, bagels and CC, cheese sandwiches, and pasta. I never had time to cook anything elaborate (which annoyed me because I love to cook, but I didn't have time.)
I had to use coconut water and take supps (I have chronically low potassium and have to take supps if I don't get enough from diet.) to make sure I had enough potassium.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Oh and pasta and rice are only limited in terms of calories/protein. No limit on the number of times you eat them a week.

What about salad dressing? I can have iceburg lettuce but can't make my own dressing. Are there any that are ok to use?

And did you drink caffeine? I have tea every day with rice milk and 2 sugars...keeps me sane!! I can cut back a bit. I drink about 3 a day. Every day is going to be like ground hog day as far as food is concerned...lol!

I drank a TON of caffeine. I had the most caffeine by far when I TTC DD than with any of the boys. I think coffee ~may~ be better than tea so you might want to switch. I would also drop the sugar or use unsweetened, unless you're having it with a meal, so your blood sugar doesn't go up.

my fav dressing is honey mustard. I make my own but looked at the fat content of olive oil wowza 14g. a tablespoon. So I just made it w/ honey,mustard, and water. it's still awesome!! and sooo easy. Their are many fat free version at the store though or low fat you can find in your favorite flavor
