Pretty much anything over 25-30 calories is considered a snack from memory but I'll let Atomic clarify that.Quote:

I had given up ttc and fell pregnant from a random (after many wines) bd. Ended up with a girl [emoji4]
All I can suggest is you stick to what has worked best result wise, which is LE diet for 12+ weeks, exercise if possible (cardio 5-7 days a week for an hour), one attempt at pos opk to start with then e4d if you don't conceive in a few cycles and clomid if you can get it. Coffee 2-3 daily (remember though to have with meals if you have alot of milk with it otverwise stick to just a dash or black), alcohol 1-2 drinks daily or as often as you are comfortable with if that is too much for you. Again have with meals. And most of all try to relax. Don't sweat the small stuff. Have a cheat day here and there. Try and get on with life while awaiting your pos opk (easier said than done I know [emoji17])
Wow congratulations on ur girl.... I’m trying early next year only... walking is the only cardio exercise I do nd I’m doing LE diet now but not very strictly though..... thnks for your tipsQuote:

I do not believe sodium does anything for swaying and thus I do not want you guys to cut back on it unless you absolutely feel like you MUST.
Yes only a handful of people are still counting sodium. Biologically it makes no sense and most people have given up the entire concept (both pink and blue!)Quote:

Hi everyone! We are planning on starting TTC a little sister for our 5 yo son in the next few months.
A while back in this thread there is talk of a secret fb group for Aussies swaying pink - does anyone know if this is still active? If so I'd love to be added! Thanks!
I know there are lots of Aussies swaying right now - let's keep this thread going!
Yes there are still some of us Aussies here :happy:
Some of us are currently pregnant and I am sure there are lots of Aussie ladies on here currently swaying and TTC. I have had so much support from the ladies on here both this sway (expecting My little girl in January after a successful sway my second time around - DS2 was a sway opposite but the joy of my life ). Any questions or help just ask and hopefully we can support/help you.
I’m not a pink swayer, but am in Oz and have three girls (two Clomid babes and a sway opposite) so feel free to hit me up with questions ;)
Thanks ladies!
Waiting on tenterhooks for our custom plan to get back so we can really start ‘getting down to business’. [emoji6]
From reading previous threads I think our current diet (vegan) already sways pink but exercise is going to be a bit of a problem as I have a knee injury which heavily limits the cardio I can do. I wish Clomid was available over the counter here as that seems to sway pink like crazy!
Hoping to start actively TTC at the end of next month.

Has anyone got suggested brands/items available in Aus as quick to go meals or snacks? My days are really hectic at work, so knowing a few items to keep in the fridge or cupboard would really help when I’m unable to plan it out.
I used to find some of the weight watchers frozen meals were not too bad to have on hand (a little high in sodium but if you are not counting that - most don't anymore) then they are not too high in fat or protein or cals.
Thanks! I didn’t even think of them - I thought they would have
lots of fortified vitamins in them, but makes sense that they suit due to low protein and fat.
Hi Kelbear what do you eat for breakfast/late breakfast? Any other meal ideas would be great!Quote:

I’m someone who can’t have a salad for lunch. I always want a comfy meal at lunch. A salad or something like works perfect for dinner, but not for lunch for me.
I don’t want to rely on warning up leftovers.
Any ideas would be so welcome!

I usually make a wrap if I don’t feel like a soup or a salad.Quote:

Aussie ladies!
I have some supplements leftover from my sway (girl yay!)
I have cranberry
Saw Palmetto
Vitex
Licorice root
Just let me know if you would like them
$20 for the lot and ill post to you :)
^^^ do be aware ladies that I am not using these supps much anymore (though we are glad they worked for Amy!)
Hi Atomic. I was just reading through this and noticed this post. While I wait for my personalised plan, I’ve looked at other materials and the pink shopping list has these supplements listed. So I’m confused. Do I get them as the shopping list suggests or not as the post below? Sorry if I’ve missed something. 😊
Follow what is in your plan. Your plan will have what is right for you.Quote:

Real Foods Sorghum Wholegrain corn thins. Just like corn thins (whole grain) but added whole grains. Nice and crunchy.
Beetroot tzatziki dip. Low protein and fat - great to dip in with carrots or crackers.
Laughing cow cheese triangles. Low protein and fat. Great spread on crackers.
Bills spelt sourdough. The only bread I could find that had whole grain that wasn’t full of fortified vitamins and other stuff.
Messy monkeys. All Wholegrain and so many flavours.
Be free wraps - so many whole grain and gluten free flavours and no added vitamins. Make a pizza with it under the grill.
Steamfresh vegetables, herbs and baby potatoes.
Frozen beetroot wedges (I think by Edgell). No crumbing added. Bake up as a side for dinner.
Birdseye frozen grilled veges. Bake and add feta, herbs and a bit of lime for a pre prepped lunch.
There’s also a basil sauce in Coles I want to try next. Like a more simple pesto - could be great on roast veges.

THANK YOU!!!! This is awesome!
Hi Ladies, I’m here in Aussie and have been tweaking my diet for the last few months and just want to check I’m on the right track as I will be attempting in the next couple of months.I checked in with atomic not long shovels and needed to up my macros’s slight but just want to check what I’m eating is ok.
Bfast at 10am- mini bites with cinnamon and unsweetened almond milk and flat white with full cream milk or multigrain bread(the bills) with jam and coffee.
Lunch- brown rice(1/2 cooked cup) 1/2 cup corn,cap,onion, zucchini, squash with either tofu or small amount of beans.1 x pear 🍐 another coffee on almond milk
Dinner- normally pasta with vegggies and sprinkle of seeds and sprinkle of cheese.
Dessert- small handful of no sugar chocolate(white) or ryevita with cream cheese and small amount of jam.
Hi Ladies!
What everyone eating on the PCOS version in AUS?
Is it fine to eat carbs with protein on this version? for example 1/2 cup brown rice with egg whites and veggies?
Oh gosh Jenna, I'm sorry I did not see this.
Definitely all the right sorts of foods but do be sure you're getting the right macros.
On the PCOS-type diet you may want to skip things like jam because it is rather sugary, but at the same time if you've done well otherwise and want to "spend" some cals on a smidge of jam, in small amounts it's ok for most people.
Yes please mix protein and carbs on all pink sway diets. Blue swayers HAVE TO mix protein and carbs, but pink swayers are fine to eat them together or not, no matter either way because your blood sugar will stay on the lower side regardless. It's next to impossible to stick to the diet separating protein and carbs because it takes too much juggling, so eat them freely at both meals.Quote:

I'm 5 foot 3, is 1800 calories ok on breastfeeding PCOS diet plan? I have 9 kg to lose after this bub.
Everyone's metabolism is different but 1800-2000 is a good place to START. Then see if weight flies off and if your milk supply diminishes at all, and then you can increase to 2000-2200.
