Not on this one you stick at 700 cals till you are ready to maintain then add food slowly.
My BMi is now 27 and I weigh 11.9 from 14.0
People do vlcd and manage fine for months it's medically oked. What I need to know is am I gonna sway blue by staying on this or coming off.
Emily maybe the refeed plan could work then as I'm coming off do refeed so I'm ready to maintain then if not pg first month which is unlikely go onto girl diet. I think refeed takes you up to 1000 cals or more and it helps you not put it back on.
you have put your body in starvation mode so that it processes your fat stores ...so in that way it would sway pink
but you have lots of fortified vitamins and nutrients wich would sway blue
so 50/50 on your actuel diet .
now if you come off that diet now up your calories , you will be improving maternal condition and sway blue .
the only way to do it would be start LE diet but do lots of cardio .
weight loss sways pink / weight gain or sustained sways blue
That's a tough one I think I'm setting myself up to fail either way maybe I need to come of this refeed while delaying ttc then start le diet. Did research on site of my diet and its pretty even on gender slightly more girls but not enough for me to think it would work. Looks like my only option is to delay ttc or not sway.
Thanks for all your advice
I think you should increase your condition a bit because in your present situation you're unlikely to get pregnant. I don't think it would sway blue if you've been on your current diet again because your body will most likely think pink is the best bet. :)
Do they know you are planning on TTC on it? There is a huge difference between just losing weight quickly and being safe to sustain a pregnancy. There are chemicals that can be released by rapid weight loss that are harmful to a developing fetus (stored toxins and ketones).Quote:

No one can really answer that question. We just don't know and it may be different for each individual anyway.Quote:
