DH is still a bit traumatized about how quick and easy it was (took 8 months+ for DD1). :worry:

I wonder if muscle gain even counts as weight loss (read, the body picking it up as a signal of danger and bad times) seeing as you're just replacing pounds of fat with pounds of muscles. Too much may not be good, sure, and it can throw the cycle off but otherwise you're more healthy when you're more muscular than fat so...

Just echoing atomic, I have a long history in the fitness community, and I can tell you that retaining muscle or gaining muscle is not going to make your body think its in a famine. I think that sort of body "recomposition" is the biggest sign that the boy diet is working since you need calories and protein to keep muscle in favor of fat. And you'd never run the risk of gaining too much muscle :P It is VERY difficult to gain a lot of muscle, especially for women.

Hi Sora!
I was wondering if you already got your BfP...?

Hi, no. I'm not TTC as of now. Can't because DH is not there most of the next O-days and I'm still loosing weight. Put on too much lbs with my first few tries last summer. I can't afford to start a pregnancy with this much, it will ruin my health. So we are waiting for now. We may have to wait til next summer even.

Thanks for keeping us updated! Hope everything is well in your world!

You're welcome. Wish things were better. Feel a bit envious seeing the successfull sways lately, although I'm still happy for them. Still wondering why we didn't conceive last summer. Too hot ? Too much stress ? Trying to go with the flow.

Hi again atomic and everyone !

I will start TTC again soon (and getting worried as the day draws near). Starting to eat breakfast again and adding meat. Found some good dried chicken stuff to snack on, yum ! And picking up weights for good this time around !

I wanted to make sure of things concerning supps before DTD.

As of now I'm taking :

Women One a Day (daily)
Fish oil Omega 3 1000mg (every 2 days)
coq10 200mg (daily)
folic 400mg (daily)
vitD 1000ui, wich, combined with Women One a Day, makes it 2000ui/day

Need to buy back probiotics and thinking about taking more folics. But I'm worried about it delaying O ? I had another delay the past month, maybe because I caught the flu twice around and was very tired...

Also is the coq 10 really necessary ? It does wonder to my skin but since lots of girls had their boys without it idk...

Well, what do you think ?

Also DH is taking Men One a Day 50+ now !

Folic acid shouldn't delay ovulation, never had that reported to me.

The coq10 is not necessary but it may help you grow muscle with the weights.

Everything is looking great - have DH take the probiotics and Vit. D (I think they took Vit. D out of the men's One a Day over 50)

Thank you atomic !

Yeah, I don't think folic acid had anything to do with the delay, it was just coincidence that it happened when I started taking it again I guess but just to be sure. The two flus may have been the culprit since I had a high fever both times for 3-5 days.

Hm yes now that you mention it, it seems they took some vit D off Men One a Day over 50, I noticed the iu were lower than Women... Will see to that.

About carbs, what should I do ? I gain weight easily (and don't loose it that easily) and I'm afraid of swaying pink since I'm already on the heavy side. But fruits and fruit juices still look important so...

Is V8 still good for blue ? I haven't heard of it in a while in blue sways...

Fruit juice and dry fruit is NOT important and those are the two main things that make people gain weight on the blue diet. Skip em. Have lemon water and tomato juice or V8, which is great for blue. I'd have you focus on lean meats, fresh fruit, veg, and please keep both potatoes and bananas minimal. They aren't magic boy foods and they do cause weight gain.

We say protein+carbs for boys but you really don't have to go overboard on the carbs. A small amount like in a piece of fruit is plenty. You don't need meat + potato+juice+ whole grain roll+ dark choc at every meal. That will make you gain weight. Just a very small amount of pro+ carbs will keep your blood sugar in normal range.
