Too much while grains is not good? I’m going to add hard boiled eggs this week something else I can get fat from. I ate a lot of natural peanut butter last week and can get a lot of fat from that. I really enjoy peanut butter and the natural stuff is really low in sugar.
Last night I had my weekly cheat meal and had fries and gravy and a warmed stuffed cookie with ice cream again. It’s my go to cheat meal if I need one. I had a light lunch to prepare for it and the awesome thing is I stayed within the limits even with the cheat meal [emoji846]

Babygirl what about adding some more cheese? You said “small portions of cheese” so I’m thinking maybe you’re having less than a serving size? Two of my dinner staples that I have on rotation are pasta/sauce/cheese and refried beans & cheese in a soft tortilla. I have a bunch of different kind of shredded cheese at home, a serving size of each is always 1/4 cup and they have a decent amount of fat. Depending on my fat total for the day sometimes I do 1.5 servings of cheese if I need more, or half a serving if I need less. Same thing with the protein too, cheese is another good source [emoji4]
Just a suggestion of course!

As long as you are eating enough protein and fat, you can't be too carb heavy (unless you had severe PCOS). When you eat more protein and fat you are cutting carbs by default since you're getting more cals from protein and fat and fewer carbs.Quote:

Most of the time you DO keep in the limits with cheat meals! Taht's one of the biggest reasons not to fear them!! You end up having what you're craving and have stayed in the limits too!
Hi ladies how is everyone doing? I just can’t bring myself to restart the diet, I’ve been eating normal which is already girl friendly, I think I want to keep taking my prenatals. I took them 3x week when I conceived my DD. I’m in a huge depression where I can’t even focus on my kids. I’m so upset I am trying to make myself happy but it isn’t working. I just want to be pregnant again. Only time I feel somewhat at peace is when my kids and I take a bike ride. I attach my daughter to her toddler seat and that’s when my mind is free. The nights are bad.
I’m so sorry, that much be so tough!i wish there was something I could do or say to make you feel better.
I’ve stuck to being vegetarian but I’m either way above or way Below limits. I’m debating whether or not to exercise since work when my cycles will return.
Pretty- exercise does have good results I’ve been doing veggie as much as possible
Thank you so much!Quote:
