I'm switching teams! Best weight loss strategies from pink diet masters?

Thanks, Begonia! At least I feel like I'm making progress somewhere!

Alexis, does that prescription make you have the heart stuff, like is it the epinephrine kind?

By the way, this I would totally do for 2 months, taking a break, too. I may ask my doc about it.

Lola, the green tea is a good one for weight loss, it encourages thermogenesis which means the body naturally heats itself up, so burning more calories. I saw my sister the other day adn she'd lost noticable weight, I asked if she was dieting, she said 'No, but I'm drinking 5 cups of green tea a day and I just keep losing weight?' Maybe make a flask for work. I found it was even quite nice cold aswell:agree:

This is all very interesting too. Good luck on your baby making! Wishing you lots of baby dust :)

Thanks, Besjoux and ELP! I am going to start working that green tea, great suggestion!

And you got me hooked on the Fakamole a long time ago, lol! I do love that. Actually, I've lost about 10lbs in the past 2 weeks just going back to my regular diet (which kinda sadly includes no breakfast, but I have been eating a Larabar at about 10am because of the growling tummy at work). I am so gonna do the nuts for breakfast, love that idea.

We're just taking it one day at a time, not losing hope, but changing our mentality to "this may take a while." I am hoping that once a fresh sperm cycle comes about with 3 months of the fancy vitamins in his system, we may see some luck.

I actually remembered you were eating the dairy, I sorta threw that bit in there for others who were reading the thread!! Remember, full fat dairy does help boost fertility and lowfat dairy may hurt it for reasons that we don't totally understand so you might want to make the switch to skim temporary and start up with the full-fat closer to when you're going to TTC again.
Thanks for your input, everyone!

I switch between almonds and walnuts, whatever is on sale! Cashews as a treat.

I really think you will see an improvement in only a few months on the sperm supps - KFX that it's sooner rather than later!!

THANK YOU! Hope you are right. I'm getting him back on DHEA also....have a sneaking suspicion that his T levels are low since he is always tired and has a very low sex drive. (Grrrr) I am not going to be too hopeful until December when he's been on them for a few months. He's been eating nuts like crazy too, which I hope also helps. xxoo

lola- don't have any helpful diet suggestions but just want to send you all my blue dust, I will prob end up on team baby too before too long (I did last time after dropping all swaying and taking 15 months to get dc2) Good luck honey :HH:

Thanks! I would love to see you get a little girl, but I'd gladly have a teammate on Team Baby!
