Is that wrong?

NOthing is wrong with eating cheese. She means that she is already eating some full fat dairy and getting some nutrients from that.

My, remember you already asked me about cheese and I said it was ok!! :)

just during AF isn't going to do a whole lot, honestly. I'd do it all month or not at all. If concerned about sway you can do 2x per week instead of 1.

LIght AF doesn't mean anything for FUTURE cycles. It just says what happened in the previous cycle. I had super light AF the month before I conceived my daughte.

I know Atomic, I did asked you. I only have a few things I eat and if I would cut cheese or sweets, I would not make even 1200 kcal :))) I love cheese.

Thanks atomic - I will probably skip the zinc this month and if we change our minds and decide to go for month 8 I will add it back in.

Mybyc - yeah cheese is totally fine. Mine is always within limits but isn't always low fat (sometimes I eat take out pizza, etc) and I know regular fat cheese is chock full of nutrients. I'm trying to cut back this month but it's hard. :)

Hi. I've been on LE since the end of April (but veggie since April) and I'm not making any tweaks just yet. I'm sticking to LE for now until I get any evidence of a cycle! I feel like I've not really had a BFN yet per se, as I've not had AF yet since stopping BFin July. So I may have not actually ovulated yet anyway. Hopefully soon as I am bored of monitoring my consumption and missing meat!

What exactly does the zinc add to the sway? I'm taking it and just wondered what it's for?

YOur body is not good at storing zinc and over the course of time, on LE Diet you are probably not going to be getting enough.

For you Tara, I added it because you've been on a restrictive diet for quite a while and you very likely needed it.

Thanks atomic! Patiently awaiting O day, hopefully next Tuesday!!! Feeling all sorts of twinges and cramps down there, hopefully that's a good sign and not just my fiber pills working:) lol!
