At 2 pm i have 2 glasses of milk with equal then i have 2 vit C tablets then at about 4 i have another glass of milk and some dried cranberries. 5pm more milk then pasta or rice for tea. I am SUFFERING! there will be nothing left of me but i am wanting to stick to it and if it doesnt work at least i can say i gave it all i have and i would never try again. I also take Vitex af to o afetr my milk in the arvo plus i take saw palmetto after my tea at night also af to o. Does anyone think i should be eating more? and if so what should i eat? i have cream and egg white cooked with my pasta and a little bit of parm cheese but it all gets very boring but afraid to try something different. especially when alot of foods i hear about people eating we cant get in Australia. Oh i brought Crystal Light i drink about 6 of them a day.

Yes, I DEF. think you should be eating a bit more. (I hope your glasses of milk are BIG and I don't usually give that advice LOL!!) But, if you're afraid to deviate from the IG-style foods, I don't think I can suggest anything because you prob. won't want to eat it. Just know that I do not believe you need to eat anywhere near this restricted a diet to sway pink and you can relax and eat more if you want.

Can you find matzo there? They are a low-sodium, low protein cracker bread and they're a good and quick way to round out some of these meals.

---

I TOTALLY think it's ok to eat tomato sauce on your pasta. Try to find a low-sodium version or make your own.

I put it in the Dream Members section, so you have to be a Dream Member to see it. I'm sorry but I don't want it to be stolen like some of the IG stuff has been.

The reason why i dont eat through the day is because once i have had something even if it was a grape then thats it i would be starving so i hold out as long as i can. I am usually hungry in the morning but that does pass. My usual diet is ALL boy friendly i never skip breakfast eat too much salt i eat what ever i want pretty much! So this has and is going to be very very hard for me. That home made tomato sauce sounds good i will have to look at the everything diet too.

---

That is my experience too and another reason why I think skipping brekkie can help. Once I eat, I will eat all day long but if I have nothing I can go for quite some time and feel pretty good.

The chemist worries me a bit when I bought some, she asked me what it was for and I had to lie, she said I should consult the doctor before taking it!!!

Hmmm...maybe she didn't want you to give it to children??

Aspirin is a very safe and time-tested drug, much more so than some of the things they are cooking up nowadays!

---

There is nothing magic about the 81 mg dosage, feel free to break the 100 mg tab in half and take 50 mg a day. That's fine and will still sway pink.

Aspirin and cran BOTH sway pink by lowering pH. I happen to prefer aspirin to cran because cran has additional nutrients that your body does not need and they both seem to work equally well. Also cran gave me absolultely wicked headaches even at a lowish dosage.

Aspirin also has the nice bonus of possibly helping to prevent m/c by making it easier for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.

You're absolutely correct, it doesn't say "baby aspirin" here in the US either and I prob. should get out of the habit of calling it that but I don't want people to get mixed up and buy higher dosages because you only need just one tiny tab a day, or even every couple of days. Too much aspirin over weeks can cause bleeding (as can cran.)

Apologies if this has been asked/answered already-

Do you need to take less than the "normal swaying amt." of aspirin if you are nursing (a 16 month old)? I didn't realize cranberry was not OK for nursing- but once I found out I stopped taking it after only 1 week-but it looks like aspirin is OK...

No, nursing on aspirin is not ok either.

Thanks for answering, for some reason I thought I had read it WAS OK, glad I have not taken it either!

Hello :) I am new. :) I am also nursing my 17 month old son and have been taking cranberry! Oh no! Its not safe?? Thank you for any information! If I can't take it, will it effect my sway??

Large doses of cran can cause bleeding and it's just best to stay away from cran while you're nursing.

You can still sway without cranberrry! After all, virtually all the baby girls ever conceived on the face of the planet were without the benefit of megadoses of cran.
