What you DO need to do is to be 100% certain to stick to the recommendations for keeping blood sugar low for a couple days before O and for 7-10 days after O (because XX fertilized eggs seem to develop best in a lower glucose environment,and the glucose from your body goes into your CM. People tend to overthink this but it's really quite easy:
1)Skip breakfast
2)Don't snack
3)Don't eat big huge meals that take forever to digest
4)Wait until you're actually hungry before eating again.
That is ALL you need to do in the 7-10 days after ovulation. No need to cut back or eat any differently.
If you were hoping to cheat during th 2WW, don't. Wait until AF comes or you get a BFP, and you can cheat then.
When you do get a BFP, it's ok to start eating normally again, but I would ease into it slowly for your own comfort and safety's sake. Esp. with the sodium - don't just start eating a ton of sodium all of a sudden, gradually increase it over a couple of days.
Misschien heb je daar wat aan?
