Help please with LE, snacking, skipping breakfast
Hi ladies. Needing support here. Last year I did LE strictly for six months. I gave up when my cycles still hadn't started postpartum. After a month of eating normally (I'm pretty greedy normally) my cycles returned. I gave myself December off too just for my sanity then started LE again in January. So theoretically I've been on it for nine weeks but unfortunately my mum has been ill in hospital and subsequently passed away during this time. Because of this I've had days where I've travelled on a train to London over a meal time, so grabbed something on the go. Mostly veggie but hard to track the calories. Plus a couple of McDonald's meals etc. I've also had quite a few egg mayo sandwiches or scrambled eggs on toast for breakfasts due to feeling nervous and faint with the stress and fear etc. Plus comforting Gin and Tonics and nuts at the boys' tea time to get me through to dinner.
So having done about nine weeks of let's call it a loose LE diet, I'm determined to get back on the wagon fully. I can't keep using Mum as an excuse or we'll never get to TTC. The question is how long should I be on the strict LE before attempting? Should I give it the recommended 10-12 weeks (if that is still the recommended time) or would you suggest just another 4-6 weeks but strict?
Thank you in advance x
