I really do not like anyone to eat under 1200 and this is especially true for someone with such a low BMI.
I really, really doubt this is enough food or a healthy pre-pregnancy diet.

Yes, I'm not terribly concerned about the stuff on the weekend, I just want to be sure you get enough cals.
No one has to wait till 2 to eat. Most of us have our first meal between 10-12.
I have literally never seen anyone eat in this pattern. I don't think it's boy friendly, but I just can't say 'oh yes I've seen 10 people do this and get girls' I feel very uncomfortable telling you either way because I have zero observations to fall back on.
As a general rule I try very much to have people do what works for them. So my advice is, please do get 1200 cals even on the off days, and if this works for you, if it's what is going to help you stick to the diet, go for it. :)
I mean on the days you are only eating 1100 calories, try to get at least 1200.
YES you can eat before 2 even if you've eaten at 10.
I think you need to stop this planning down to the minute kind of thinking, because this kind of "control freak" mindset where you're accounting for every minute and worrying about things that we don't even have any way of knowing if they even sway. I don't know the answers to your questions because I haven't ever seen anyone sway like this. It doesn't mean it won't work for you, just that I haven't seen bunches of people do it.
I think you should do what you think will work for you. If you think this is going to work, as long as it's more pink friendly than what you were eating before, go for it. Because going over it and over it will be swaying more blue than eating candy for 2 hours could ever be. :)
Sounds fine and I'm very interested to see how this works for you
We have no idea how many hours between meals so please everyone just do what works best for you.
Just wanted to say good luck. We are in the same boat
(Three boys and we will be ttc girl sway end of May as well) I have just started LE diet.

In hope, seriously, please listen.
I'm not dodging your question, I really DO NOT KNOW how many hours, if there's a magic amount of time or there isn't. These questions you are asking me, I would need to test individually over 1000's of people and I have absolutely no way of knowing if they even matter at all. I just don't. Since I do not know, and have no way of knowing, I urge everyone to do what will work for them to enable them to stick to the diet to the best of their ability.
It doesn't matter if you "feel stressed out" or whatever, this IS being a control freak. even if you are very calm about it this type of obsession over tiny details sways blue.
1)I don't know, please do what works for you as long as it's at least 12 hours. 14-16 may be better but I don't KNOW it for a fact.
2)I don't know, please do what works for you. People have done 4 meals sometimes and still gotten girls.
3)I have no idea. Anything with calories counts as a meal, of course. If you must have the candy, I'd try to do two meals, but if you can't do 2 meals and end up cheating, obviously that's a backfire and you would have been better off just eating sensibly.
4)I strongly suggest you eat more during the week if you're losing weight. When you eat a lot at one sitting, what happens is that your body cannot use most of it and you end up excreting a lot of the calories and you don't use them. You need to have more calories coming in during the week to stop weight loss, not at one sitting.
5)Please try to keep in mind that part of the point of the LE Diet is to also be a healthy pre-pregnancy diet. A diet of candy and broccoli is NOT THAT (I am exaggerating, I understand that's not all you're eating). I cannot sign off on any more candy for you. I would very much rather see you add in a small amount more real food during the week even if you need to increase protein and fat intake somewhat.
Pretty good. I simply cannot start my day without breakfast so although I usually have poached eggs I've ditched that for toast with banana and honey for the extra carbs.Quote:

The wine each evening is quite enjoyable though [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

Good luck :)
You need to do whatever it takes to stop the weight loss. If you can't eat more, then you need to cut back on the exercise.
18.5 is my absolute lowest threshold for swaying. I do not want anyone to drop below that, and if you've lost weight, then you're below my minimum cutoff. No more weight loss. Even if you have to drop diet totally and just become a vegetarian then do that. what is going to happen is that you'll stop ovulating and then won't be able to get pregnant at all.
