We are TTC in September - pink - what are you ladies eating on the LE diet?
We are TTC pink in September. I am getting a little nervous!
Linzshine, I am eating lots of white pita bread and hummus. And quick pasta sides by Knorrs(Lipton). There is a cheddar broccoli one I eat almost every day, I just don't add the milk or butter when cooking them;)
I really don't mind the diet. I am just missing me some cheese! Half the amount of cheese I used to eat would exceed my limits for LE!!!!
Good Luck Everyone!!!
I'm eating 2 egg whites in the morning and a coffee as I cannot function without something :) then at about 1pm ill have a cucumber, lettuce and cream cheese sandwich with unfortified bread. Or left over dinner. Dinners are usually brown pasta (I'm doing LE PCOS style) with a bit of pasta sauce and cheese. Or Brown rice stir fry with Egg plant, Courgette, mushroom and leak. Ill often have a smoothie in the afternoon after I do 1hr of exercise as I'm starving. And will have a diet coke with lunch. Fun!! :)

I'm doing PCOS style too. I've been eating:
Breakfast - just a cup of peppermint tea with 2 splenda, nothing else
Lunch- (between 12-1pm) - brown rice and hint of salt wheat thins with a coke zero OR a salad with only lettuce and chicken and 1tbsp balsamic dressing OR whole grain kraft mac and cheese with hint of salt triscuits/wheat thins.
Dinner - baked potato with margerine and corn on the cobb, OR whole grain pasta with marinara, or lipton noodle soup.. and 1 glass of whole milk
snack - 1 fudgicle on those days i really want something sweet, carrots and lite ranch dressing, crystal lite packet in water..
Does this sound ok? I'm averaging between 1200-1300ish calories a day, 38-60g protein depending on the day... 45 grams of sugar(sometimes lower)... I am settling into a groove so I hope it's the right one!
That sounds good to me :) how long have you been doing your sway for?

I am almost done with week 3!
Ladies, I am officially on my diet again! Gish, this is hard :)))
But hoping my month will be November and dont need to go further with this cause I really miss my cheese and sweets. How do you handle with sweets?
I have no problem with meat...but sweets are my biggest love :)))
I guess I'll be joining this thread as AF arrived 3 days ago. Boo hoo! :(
I have 2 boys (5 and 11) and this will be cycle #5 of TTC for me. I started the diet back in February, but only had attempts in February, May, June, and August (didn't want a Dec/Jan baby and then Europe trip in July so off diet). I really thought August would be my BFP month, but oh well. If I get my BFP this month then my due date will pretty much be exactly the same as it was for DS2.
I'll be ditching the aspirin this cycle and I think I'll only do peppermint tea during AF since I think it keeps it from being super heavy.
Other than that I'm doing:
LE diet
Skipping breakfast
2 meals a day
No snacking
Alcohol (stopping at +opk)
Caffeine (stopping at +opk)
Exercise (hopefully if I can persuade myself to start tomorrow. I HATE it!!!!)
Folic acid 1200mcg
Zinc 15mg
Iron 65mg
Cinnamon
Fiber before each meal
LR for DH (two 450mg capsules)
OLE for DH (two 450mg capsules)
1 attempt at +opk
I eat the exact same thing for lunch every day: 1 Kraft Easy Mac & Cheese cup, 1 cup of mixed berries with 2 packs of Equal, 1 bag of Popcorners chips, 1/2 cup applesauce with cinnamon added, and a double shot of espresso with a 1/4 cup each of 1% milk and almond milk and sweetened with xylitol. For dinner I usually eat a 1/2 serving of chicken/pork/white fish and two servings of veggies. I can't eat rice or oats as they make my stomach burn really bad. At night I drink a shot of vodka with a diet cherry Dr. Pepper.
Hi ladies! I didn't think I would end up in this thread but unfortunately for me DH has been much more stubborn then I originally thought about having a third. He's slowly coming around but not on my timeframe! I wanted to already be TTC at this point but I will be lucky if he agrees to make an attempt this month. Plus all the exercise has made my cycle wacky and I've been waiting on AF now for days. I've been on the diet and exercise since around April but I've taken breaks for vacations. I have two sons 4 1/2 and the younger just turned 2 yesterday. I'm so desperate to have another boy or girl that I really hope my DH comes on board this cycle. His reasons drive me mad (just doesn't feel like having another, added stress, changing diapers) even though I've told him he doesn't have to ever change a diaper again if he'll just let me have a third. Well there is my Monday morning rant LOL. Hope everyone has lots of luck this cycle. I find I can stick to the diet pretty well in the days leading up to O but it would be nice to have some hope of an end in sight! :)
Good luck Junie. Hopefully you will have your dh on board soon.
Afm, I think there is a chance I will be heading for another CD 15 O which will be Saturday. I just need to try and convince dh to bd without him knowing it's around O time. :fx:
