    Diet after LE diet

    Hiya just wondering how soon after your BfP did you start breakfast: snacking/ and eating more?
    Im only a lil over 4 weeks, no sickness etc but i do wake up in middle night with tummy rumbling,
    In the morning when i get up I have a cup if milk and then eat lunch at 11/12 and dinner 6/7.

    You should start eating normally immediately upon getting BFP.

    Breakfast and snacking are fine right away. The only thing I ever worry about is people going from limiting sodium to eating a lot very fast but hardly anyone is limiting sodium any more. You can also sometimes get upset tummy eating a lot of protein but overall that's rare and isn't harmful anyway.

    It will not, and in fact it's much riskier to continue going hungry because if your body "thinks" not enough food is coming in it may decide to pull the plug on a pregnancy (this takes much more than LE Diet, but of course some people DO cut back too far) and also because your blood sugar will be low which can make you more likely to faint - which you're already more likely to do in early pregnancy.

    I have done this for 8 years on this site and with probably 10,000 people by now and I would not tell you to do something that was harmful.

    no, I understand that, I am not taking offense, it is meant to be reassuring. I understand that anyone would not want to just take the word of some Internet wackadoo but I have given that same advice to lots and lots of people and their pregnancies proceeded normally, so it is fine for you to normalize your eating now.

    Thanks for this thread. I'm finding it very hard to eat breakfast because I am so used to not eating until 11/12. And I feel nauseas immediately after eating and then for the rest of the day. I'm worried I'm not eating enough as a result.

    As long as you're eating a relatively reasonable diet it's ok to keep skipping breakfast if you really can't eat it. I know for a fact I never ate breakfast with my first pregnancy because I was sick as a dog the entire time, and he was normal, healthy, and in fact my biggest baby of all! The baby really needs very little from you at the beginning, it's just that we want to be eating enough so our bodies don't get "nervous" and think that it's a famine and time to look out for number one (mama). You know the people I"m thinking of, they eat nothing but crystal light and 2 rice cakes a day. Don't overthink this, if you're eating a reasonable diet otherwise you are fine.
