I had very little protein and always skipped breakfast
AM-coffee, maybe a piece of granola or cookie a couple hours later, then an apple
2pm lunch-lettuce and veggies with 2 pieces of cheese and chips or crackers
8pm dinner-ice cream with peanut butter
That's it! So very little protein and my blood sugar must have been all over the place! I would be starving by the time I got the kids down for nap and had lunch.
There is a really thorough thread stickied on the top of this page that has several pages of what the girl moms ate.
Chocolate, dairy, sugar...all the things I can't have on the boy diet...but I have 3 girls so....
You CAN have chocolate and dairy and sugar on the HE Diet! :) Just be sure to use full fat dairy and not skim, and have choc and sugar WITH protein (altho for YOU Adia, in regards to your testosterone question, you're prob. better off avoiding sugar to keep your T levels from impeding your fertility.)
Chocolate and sugar are synonymous for me so I have avoided them all together. Its better for me since I really pack on the pounds if I eat them as much as I want to. My sugar and chocolate cravings have dropped off a lot since I have been on the diet so I'm ok.Quote:

Update: Whipping Cream! That is full fat and I have no trouble eating that! I'll add some to our pumpkin pie and other things over the next few weeks. Have to watch it though, lots of fat calories!!
Thanks for the info Atomic, anything helps at this point!!
There's also full fat yogurt like Brown Cow and full fat cheese! Don't forget ice cream!!
Very helpful info!! Thanks girl moms. :)
