I used to eat 1/2 - 1 lb of butter each week, and at least 100g fat daily. Swaying is the only time I've ever reduced fat in my life. It is a really huge change for me.

The elliptical is in the house!!! LOL, and for today, that will count as exercise :)
Is anyone using a fitbit or jawbone to track nutrition and workouts?
Ugh, over fat by 11g and forgot to include the chocolate chip cookie I had. Still have some work ahead of me!
Pretty- I just use My Fitness Pal to track exercise.
You know not to count fat in fruit and vegetables, right?? (including potatoes)Quote:

Just track for a couple weeks and then you'll have a much better feel for it and can let the tracking aspect fall by the wayside at that point.
I didn't know that actually. That's good to know, I love potatoes and sweet potatoes. Unfortunately, yesterday was just bad and the only fruit I had was a banana, no veggies at all. The croissant with 14g of fat did not help. I also had a little too much cheese which accounted for 20g of fat :omg: So cutting those two things out alone would have put me well under my limit. I knew the cheese was too much, I just got carried away as it was late in the day and I was really hungry.Quote:

Keep in mind that the type of fats really matter too. The fats from almonds & peanuts are significantly more pink friendly than from dairy, so you may want to eat more of those and less croissant/cheese.
Me! DH just got a vaso vasectomy last wednesday. He has 3 sons from previous marriage I have zero.
He knows about swaying not that I kinda started already and waiting for my personal plan.

Really? I thought nuts should be avoided. Atomic recommended the PCOS diet for me and I'm supposed to have full-fat dairy occasionally. Are nuts still ok now and then? I do miss them! I'm struggling a bit with all the ins and outs and differences between LE and PCOS.Quote:

I've read conflicting recommendations on what's best for PCOS ladies dietwise (in general, not on this site), so maybe atomic can weigh in?
I didn't realise you were doing the PCOS version, lucky you! I'd love to have the extra fat, more chicken etc. But I am the opposite of PCOS, basically. Except I still O late and have a short LP. :(
