A couple reasons why I LIKE the girl diet

Okey Dokey, Now i have been humming and haahing about when to start this diet, i last a few hours then give in for a snack from the bakery which is right next door to my office and that smell just is hard to ignore! BUT the fact that everyone is loving their new tummys has me thinking and wanting to stick to it now!!! im just a bit confused as to how to work out the label reading on the back of the foods! So could someone please help me here, are you saying we need high fibre foods??? so if i was to go and buy bread id get the one that is high fibre?

With bread, it has to be White and low sodium, that is quite difficult to find so a lot of people make their own bread and leave out the salt.

I'm sorry, I missed this post.

Fiber can be good on the girl diet because it absorbs fat from the digestive tract. But, breads that are high fiber are also higher in protein, sodium, and other nutrients. So it's best to get fiber from fiber supplements and just eat white, low sodium breads.

Making your own bread is definitely the best option. :agree:

Reading about diet is so interesting. For a long time, I have been on a PCOS friendly diet (low carb, lots of green vegetables). This would explain part of the boy tendencies my body may have though I took anti-histamines with my boys on a daily basis and was also losing weight. How do I go from eating low carb and lots of vegetables to refined carbs and aspertame? That seems tricky, but maybe worth it. :)

This has made me feel much better about the diet I've just kinda started it and i'm such a breakfast kind of girl so have found that hard especially being at home. I think if I could go for a walk first thing or keep out of the house until 12pm I'd find it so much easier.

When I worked I used to skip breakfast all the time.

Things i've liked so far. Rice with fried green beans and leaks with grated parmisan. with a little side of yoghurt and cucumber.

Milk yoghurt and strawberry smoothies.

Strawberry and raspberries with lowfat natural yoghurt.

Boiled eggs really fill me up! Never really ate them before

Pasta and cheese is a nice lunch.

Things i'd like to make if aspartame didn't give me a such headache.

Rice pudding, made with milk a drop of vanilla and Splenda

Homemade custard made from egg yolks, milk vanilla and splenda.

I think it is odd that I hate whole wheat products. I have always liked normal pasta and white rice. I like balance out fruits and veggies just because we do have health issues. But we did eat out a lot when the boys were conceived. Lately we both hate eating out everything taste like dog food. I am liking some of the things on the girl diet just because yes I am fat, I used to be a size 3-5 and now I am a lot bigger then that.

If I don't get a bfp this month I am taking a break from trying for a few months and hubby has agreed to do a full on girl diet with me. He wants to loose 70lbs and I want to wear the clothing I wore when I met him. We will be doing a low everything diet this winter because I make my own soups in the winter and they are normally low in protein, fats, and sodium.

I love how my face has thinned out and my jeans feel more comfortable. I keep thinking how much better it will be to be preggo starting off thinner. I just remind myself when I am tempted that its just "food"! and this is temporary. My attempt will be November so we will be dieting through Halloween...I told my dh we could make a bag of all the treats and he can eat them AFTER the attempt! We can make any holiday at anytime. Its not like the stores no longer have candy!

I totally agree about the getting out of the house until noon. When I worked I would easily go for hours without even thinking about eating and I still do when I have errands to run. When I'm home, I obsess over food a lot more!!

The other thing I wanted to mention is that I am not a big fan of egg yolk for pink sway. I know it's allowed on IG but the yolks contain cholesterol, which is the building block of testosterone and estrogen (these things sway blue). Having one yolk a day will not kill ya but don't treat them like a free food or worse, eat EXTRA eggs because you think they're super girl food or something.
