Does rum and diet coke count for lunch? :suprise:
I left lunch a little too late today and got a headache then ate a little too much vegetarian junk.....soup for dinner tonight!
Anyone want to keep this thread going with me? I am not doing great with the diet. Don't like rice or pasta (unless covered in cheese sauce with garlic bread ;-))

Ahh here it is thanks for bumping I wondered where it had gone xx
Hi i could do with some new meal ideas to. Im on weight watchers/le diet, i often have cheese salad/sandwich for lunch with kiwi, orange and pineapple on the side. Ive had the odd soft boiled egg with slices of toast dipped in. Dinner is mainly rice with broccoli little spinage covered in parmesan cheese or vegetable curry (courgettes peppers and onions) with rice sometimes little chicken i normally have strawberrys, blueberrys, rasberries and oranges for afters. I have had veggie burgers with low sodium rolls, mushroom and roasted pepper in it to then do butter nut squash chips on the side instead of having potato chips. I drink diet coke, coffee and evian water. Im not sure if this is all the right foods for a girl sway foods but i do stay within ranges and im trying to be healthier and loose weight. I skip breakfast no snacking only eat lunch and dinner. Would love to hear from others with there meal plans x
Butternut squash chips sound like a good idea! Your diet sounds great,my problem is that after I've sorted out the kids food and dinners, I then struggle to want to make myself something separate. I think I will mainly be having lots of carbs, no meat, strawberries as my fruit,yoghurt, diet coke and corn on the cob to add empty calories.

I love corn on the cob but need it coated in loads of melted butter ! feel the same i cook dinner for the boys at 5pm then do a seperate dinner for dh and then me at 7.30 as he wont eat what i eat. I havent had read meat since christmas but i do have the odd chicken breast here and there but need to cut it out all together. I think i could do with adding yogurts to my diet i just dont like them. I never ate fruit before my sway but now i cant stop eating it i love it.
I made a new thread if anyone wants to join in there too as this one now has lots of pages :)

I'm sick of LE diet well not eating meat part! I been on LE since day after Thanksgiving, I had a chemical earlier this month and for that week I was pregnant I ate meat. I just want to be pregnant again, it's so stressful
I keep imaging how I will eventually eat once pregnant, hopefully just add in protein and more fruit and veg. Makes you appreciate being free to choose what you eat normally.
Sorry about your chemical Princess Mom, hope you fall pregnant soon!

It's really useful, and helps you to really focus I find. I'm an emotional eater and life has been stressful at the moment so I'm going to use this thread to help me stay strong and focused.
I'll be joining you too in the new year weezie.
Are you ready Frilly?! I've got a tummy full of leftovers in preparation for starting LE with clear cupboards! Granted there's still loads of chocolate and sweets around but I'm not interested in them. I'm a savoury girl. I've also got my gym gear ready for my early morning dance session!Quote:

I've taken a few opks and they seem to be getting darker so I figured I should get back in the swing of dieting!
Not TTC until mid year, but getting educated early! And starting the process slowly!!!
With my first two boys I didn't start my cycles again till 1-2 months after completely stopping breastfeeding. Also, with DS3 I went on LE when he'd dropped down to one feed before bed. When he weaned I expected the same but it didn't. I assumed the diet was scaring my body so after waiting three months I came of the diet and boom, that cycle AF arrived. So just thought it might be useful to know.Quote:

Dinners were homemade three bean chili and rice with salad, or homemade vegetable curry with rice, and wine!
I've just had black coffee with sweetener in mornings
Lunch is low fat cheese sandwich or cheese spread
Dinner has been rice with veggie fingers / plain pasta
Your dinners sound lovely weezie!
I'm on the plain food due to gastritis - although I did have a pop tart the other night it was lovely!

Oooo u have to get the chocolate in there some days !
Yum that does sound nice I'm going to m&s tommorow il pick some up - our kitchen has been ripped out today so we are limited for the next week what we can eat so soup is nice and easy!
A good day all round ! X

Fab! It was nice :-)
I have been buying the m and s soups too, they're on offer at the mo. Warbutons bagel thins are my go to breakfast (well as it's 12 I suppose it's lunch!) only 99 cals and I don't feel as deprived as I do with their mini bagels! (Same Cal but it's psychological I'm sure!)

I love bagels so nice with Philly and cucumber !
I'll have a look in m&s today I didn't get there yesterday I went for a 2 hour talk with my mum and the buggy - then had some prosecco in thE evening with uncle bens sweet & sour sauce with egg noodles and green veg
The 3 pieces of Terry's choc orange about 9pm
Today so far just had a latte with real sugar as ran out of Splenda and a strawberry pop tart !
Later il have a sandwich about 3 then dinner tonight is veggie meatballs with oven chips and a little gravy and if I can squeeze it in a little tomato bread
I'm having dinner at my parents twice next week due to having no kitchen and they eat massive diners so il have a challenge on my hands !

Meals sound good! I am a nutritionist and also teach food classes so it's hard not to eat whatever I've been doing that day!
Cutting out the grazing/snacking is hardest for me too I think I always eat ds1's leftovers.
Btw- do any of you take fibre? I didn't think I needed to but having caught up on the 'fibre sways pink' (not sure where I missed this) I'm going to buy some today- but not sure which people use in U.K.

I use Chitosan from Holland and Barrett for my fibre supplement.
Great going ladies!
We had lunch at friends today so I've no idea of calories BUT fortunately they're vegetarian so I had an amazing roasted veg thing with jacket potatoes and salad. So good I asked for the recipe.
Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes
Red cabbage
Carrots
Leeks
Onions
Peppers
Green beans
Kale
Kidney beans
Black eyed peas
Balsamic vinegar
Roughly chop veg. Toss sweet potato, carrots and red cabbage in oil spray and bake in oven for twenty minutes. Then add the rest of the veg and beans, a glug of balsamic vinegar and mix thoroughly. Keep roasting (occasionally turning) till cooked.
It was seriously AWESOME.
That sounds great i might try it.
My day-
Lunch-Cream cheese bagel thin
Dinner- some quorn mince (v.small amount!) with corn tacos, weight watchers cheese, fat free natural yoghurt,salad and mini spicy potatoes it was really good. 3 marshmallows
Not fancying any alcohol tonight I find it difficult to add any in to be honest now that Christmas has passed!

I've started the day with a Double Decker (a chocolate candy bar) in the interest of eating differently to when I conceived my boys! I never ate chocolate/candy/sweets, other than a square or two of dark dark chocolate, so why not eh? I'd have always started the day with eggs and Rye/Spelt toast - so nutritious. I'm such a savoury girl that it tastes ludicrously sweet! :-)
Oh and thanks for the bagel thins idea. I've bought them for DS3 before as they're a much better size for his appetite. I'd not thought of the psychological impact for me in having a whole one at less cals. Good plan!
Not sure if I've already added this recipe idea, apologies if I'm duplicating, but it feels like a treat for me.
Veggie enchiladas
Ingredients:
Pack of Weight Watchers wraps or equivalent
Various vegetables (I use onions, garlic, peppers, courgettes and mushrooms)
Tin of chopped tomatoes
Spices (I used chili, cumin, oregano and paprika)
Grated cheese
Method:
Preheat oven. Fry finely diced onions and garlic gently in oil spray, adding a splash of water of needed, till softened. Add tin of tomatoes and spices and simmer until all combined. Leave to cool. Now chop your veg into chunks - onions, peppers etc and fry in oil spray and the spices until cooked but still with a bite to them. Take an oven dish and spray with oil spray. Put a spoon of the enchilada sauce in and spread over the bottom. Then take a wrap, put a spoonful of the cooked veg in the middle, a spoonful of the sauce and a little grated cheese. Wrap into a sausage shape and lay in your oven dish with the join at the bottom. Repeat with all wraps. Finally cover the whole lot with the rest of your sauce (any uncovered corners of wrap will get dry) and as much grated cheese as you think you can have within your totals! Bake till golden.
This is my new favourite dish. Low fat cheese won't melt as well as full fat so I tend to use less full fat cheese rather than using low fat cheese, and add a few dollops of mozzarella which isn't too fatty.
Oh and I have made it with a few beans in the veg mixture if I've planned appropriately for the extra protein.
This sounds lovely I've had old El Paso enchilada kits in the past when not on LE. These sound great! I had tonsillitis confirmed today so soft foods will help! Might get dh to whip some up.

Love enchiladas!
Last night I a veggie burger with sweet potato fries as we ate dinner in a pub then had a lot to drink :-/
Today I haven't eaten too well due to being a bit hungover ! I have snacked a lot today - back on it tommorow !

Hi, joining in to record what Im eating and hopefully stay on track!
I had 1 teaspoon of decaf coffee, a teaspoon of options orange hot choc with a Splash of milk at 12, followed by 2 Tesco vegie grills, a side salad and about 4 sweet potato wedges. Then a muller light mango yoghurt with 2 strawberries chopped up. Did an hour at the gym and then made a home made soup but it was rubbish so I only ate half and chucked the rest, had a yoghurt and then a small bag of skinny popcorn. Quite under cals today but over indulged over Xmas so need a head start to weight loss. Planning on having 1 glass of wine later, becoming a bit of a habit having wine each night and then 2 glasses turn into 3 and a late night so trying to stick to just 1 glass.
I think tomorrow I plan to eat a ham salad for lunch, yoghurt and fruit. Then tea might have to be 2 vegie grills and baked beans with a tiny bits of cheese, side salad and then yoghurt and fruit. Cant exercise tomoz.
Hope you all have a good week :-)
Well done chocolate that looks like a good day !
Yes I've planned Tommorows meals already to help me stay on track - my attempt is only 10 days away so my hubby starts his abstaining this Wednesday it's all getting a bit real!
I can totally relate to having more and more wine - I actually really enjoy enjoy drinking wine (bit of a wino!) so sometimes find I'm the same I'm like whoops is that the bottle gone already?!
Back on one glass a night from tommorow couldn't drink wine today :-/

Ladies, since this is getting rather long, let's move it over to this new thread for 2017!!! It makes the forums run better if we keep our threads to 50 pages or less.

Can't get my head around this diet I was expecting 0% sugar fat etc but can see everyone eating chocolate potatos Sunday lunches with gravy etc I'm I missing something thought LE was salads etc
Ladies, I cannot keep up on the support threads. Please always start a new thread that I will see so I can reply to your questions. I don't like leaving questions unanswered!Quote:

There are no forbidden foods, and low carb vegetables (like salads) are actually free and unlimited, have as much as you want, no need to count or track it. For higher carb veg (like potatoes) and fruit, you count only calories, not protein or fat. So you actually can eat quite a lot of food on LE Diet, it's completely in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization about what a healthy pre-pregnancy diet for women of childbearing age looks like.
