I'm finding the lemon water is making a huge difference to ewcm :) more than anything else I have tried :)
Is anyone doing gelatin drink?
If you do then how do you put it down? Do use the whole package in 8oz? Right?
I'm not using it :) I haven't seen it in store.
I also couldn't find iodised salt anywhere.

Almost at the 6 week out point :D
Will definitely be increasing vegetable/fruit numbers.
I feel like the only veggies I get are either green beans, spinach salad with tomatoes or potatoes. [emoji53] Do I need more of a variety? I'm good about fruit and fruit juice but I struggle with veggies

I don't feel I get a good variety either - personally as I go into the 6 week diet I will do my best to get a bit of variety. My problem has always been sticking with the same thing over and over :)
V8 or any other vegetable juice can be your servings of vegetables.
True, can you order iodized salt online, you still have time:)
Gelatin drink is a package of gelatin and 8oz of juice or club soda, yuk...At least it is the least important drink as I can't put it down, LOL.
Haha yes, True Blue, I feel like if it's something I like then I stick with it! I probably eat the same thing almost daily! Trying to mix it up a bit though. I will look into the V8 drinks! I may try some of those carrot/mango popsicles too just for a snack or something?
sc1411 I will order it online :) nothing to lose!!
Taytum I am exactly like that, my breakfasts, lunches and snacks rarely vary :oops: Lemon water, V8, coconut water etc all count towards our 9-11 servings which helps in a big way :)

Did very badly with drinks today - forgot to drink.
Girls I tried "Newman's Own Frozen Chinese dinners" for the first time and I think they would make a really good addition to any blue swayer's meal plans. Unlike most frozen meals which I find very low quality with barely any meat and horribly overdone veg, these were very meaty and the veg were really well done. :agree:

The two I had were beef and broccoli and orange chicken. The Orange Chicken had some edamame in it but not enough to affect anyone's sway negatively (I doubt edamame has the same possibly negative effects as highly processed soy protein, anyway)

Good Luck Fox :)
I am a little confused on the dairy. I was just reading in the 'girl sway' forums that dairy is pretty important to have. I have been increasing my dairy intake with my 'blue sway'. I've been eating lots of eggs and whole milk yogurt. Now I see in this thread that blue swayers are having lots of dairy which makes me feel better. Are there great results with lots of dairy?
I drank tons of milk and is a mother of two boys. I hardly eat any cheese or yogurt back then.
Hope my info helps and catch my blue dusts...
BF: Oatmeal w/peanut butter.
Banana.
Honey & lemon in hot water.
Snack: Greek style protein yogurt w/fresh blueberries.
Lunch: Egg mayonnaise sandwich w/turkey slices.
Raaw super veggie juice.
Dinner: Tuna Napolitana w/wholewheat pasta.
Snack: Live yogurt w/nuts & seeds granola.
Honey & lemon in hot water.
Regular tea throughout day.
Bluedreams the girl swayers used to add dairy to their sways with the idea that calcium sways pink, this was a couple of years back but it was showing that dairy was having better results for boy swayers. To the best of my knowledge pink swayers no lingers do this.
We are aiming for a higher nutrient diet including full fat dairy :) the blue swayers are getting great results with this.
Thanks ladies! I was just getting a little nervous thinking that I was doing the wrong sway. LOL The dairy does make sense though because I have 2 girls and never drank milk or had much dairy in my diet then. I have to start drinking a glass of whole milk in my diet. I used to have cottage cheese with my full fat yogurt but cut that out since cottage cheese is only made with skim milk. Cottage cheese is high in protein but it's non-fat. Is anyone eating cottage cheese?
My diet consists of:
2 cups of green tea with lemon and honey
2 boiled eggs & cup of oatmeal with blueberries
Lunch is either chicken sandwich or chicken salad with avocado, kidney beans & cheese. 2 days a week I have tuna sandwich
Every other day I have a protein smoothie
Snacks consist of fruit, full fat yogurt, or almonds
Dinner is usually steak or chicken and veggies with sometimes sweet potato.
I think a full fat cheese would be better? Diet is looking good, just remember for have protein and carbs everytime you eat (or drink, if not water!)
True -I'm now in the 2ww! How long until your attempt?
How exciting Fox, Good Luck :) I should ovulate in 6 days :) going to start my OPKs tomorrow!! I love getting to this stage :)
