LE Diet Thread

Alright. I had a couple bad weeks and something they had in common was I had stopped posting on here! I think I need to post my meals to keep myself accountable. So, sorry ladies, but You will be hearing from me via this thread 1-2 times a day. It keeps me focused. And it makes me feel less alone in this. This is just a strategy that helps me stay on track. I am also recording my meals each day too. It helps me to remember what I ate when I need to go back to a time I was doing well! Oh shoot I hope recording everything I eat isn't too "control freakish". Oh well. It again, keeps me accountable.

So I will apologize now for over posting.

9 am coffee with splenda
11:30am 2 eggs, sautéed peppers and mushrooms, 1 TB feta
2:30pm Tortilla pizza with roasted pepper, mushroom, feta, falfel, guacamole with a campbells vegetable soup

Tonight for dinner:
around 7:30pm: rice, chickpeas, butter chicken sauce, veggies, WINE

Not sure about dessert yet.

Today i had....

Is turkey lunch meat a no no for the diet? What about nonfat Greek yogurt w/ some honey and blueberries? I'm struggling with what to eat that's fast and easy!

oh my god! I can't stop eating eggs! I am a vegetarian (normally) so, this is kind of my staple. I am finding it brutally hard to lay off the eggs. I'm 2 DPO now, I wonder if it would make a difference???

Eggs are know to sway blue, right?

I think you need some eggs. I have been told to eat 4-6 a week. How many do you eat daily?

Really? They're power houses of nutrition so I've always avoided them as much as possible when on the LE diet. That being said, my normal diet would be three eggs for breakfast every day so as long as it's less than that I guess I'd feel ok having a couple

I am addicted to cheese and I know it's not good for my sway so I tried dairy free last night and it helped take the edge off.Do you think it would be better to use than regular cheese? Daiya Foods. Dairy, gluten and soy free.

I use eggs for many, many people at a rate of 4-6 a week and they still get girls. Please just keep eating them.

There are no forbidden foods, as long as they fit in your limits for the day.

No foods in and of themselves sway. It's about the TOTAL nutrient content of your diet.

The only reason I have ever warned against eggs for pink is because among some theories they have a mystical rep for swaying pink (because they contain progesterone or some such nonsense, but you do NOT get your body's supply of progetsterone by eating progesterone) and some people thought that they should eat 6-12 eggs a day for pink. Eating 6-12 eggs a day (usually along with a gallon of milk and yogurt and cran juice and a cup of tahini) WILL sway blue. Eating 4-6 eggs a week as a part of an otherwise LE Diet wil not.

So, nutshell...eggs not forbidden, stick in limits and do not treat them as magic pink foods because they aren't.

Cheese in moderation is fine for a pink sway and actually is very good on PCOS type diet (which I think you're on Queen?? or am I thinking of someone else)

I am having a hard time finding the nutrient stuff on the Daiya site so while I think they look great for a pink sway, I cannot sign off on them totally for PCOS/alt diet yet because I can't figure out how many carbs they have.

Ladies, it's limits, limits, limits, and not magic foods. the magic foods idea does not work and makes no sense anyway because you can see people all around you getting boys and girls not even thinking about "good or bad" foods.

I can't always keep up with the support threads but just happened to read this, when you guys have these type of questions please ask them in the forums and I'll come along and answer!!
