Hi pinkin! I agree - you're doing awesome with the diet. I don't know how you get through the whole day with nothing but milk. I don't eat a lot more than that during the day (usually no breakfast, yogurt and maybe some plain rice for lunch), but I am terrible by dinner time. I follow the diet but each way too much food at dinner, then find myself snacking all evening (on girl-friendly stuff like strawberries, but still...).
Mochagirl, thanks i just find it easier this way not complicated at all but tea time is hard for me trying to work out what i can have as its the only meal i have for the day and eating plain pasta is not going down the best. thats why i am thinking of trying to make that home made pasta sauce..... How long have you been on the diet for? And when do you think you will ttc?
I haven't tried any pasta sauces yet, but tonight I had pasta mixed with 1 TBSP of low fat ricotta and 2 TBSP of parm, and it was ok. Next time I might also try a squirt of lemon juice to give it more kick.
The end of day is definitely the hardest to get through - I agree that if you've starved yourself all day you need something to look forward to - I know I do! By 5pm I'm STARVED and want a substantial meal.
I've been on the diet about 3 weeks or so now, but with some cheating here and there when we've had company. I'm due to O around June 20th, and I'm praying hard that first time's the charm because there's NO way I can keep this diet up all summer.
I know what you mean i will have been on the diet for 7 weeks when we try and i pray soooooo hard that i get a bfp that month! I am also worried about the social side of things to going to be hard these next few weeks. so you have cheated a few times??? My mother in law knows what i am like i cant go with out breakfast and i can eat alot so she laughs at me and says you wont last 7 weeks it really does not help me at all so that gets me down a bit i just want to prove them wrong! ha ha.
I had one dinner out which was a bridal shower for a friend. I tried not to pick the worst thing on the menu (the burger and fries, which were calling my name), and instead ended up with a thin crust pizza with pesto and boconccini cheese. I did get a chocolate gelato, though, which was soooooo good.
My mother visited for a few days last week, and we ended up ordering pizza one night. I only ate two small pieces, but I'm sure it was about 10 times my allowance of sodium for the day. I've also had a few things here and there I shouldn't have - I had ice cream one afternoon when my kids were having cones and I couldn't resist, I have the occasional pesto pasta, even though it's full of garlic (though I only eat it if I've had pretty much no sodium the rest of the day). In about a week and a half my in-laws are coming to stay with us. There's no way I can tell them about the diet, so I'm going to have to be very sneaky to try to keep to it. I'm going to make side dishes I can eat and try to not take any of the main dishes (either that or take some and push it around my plate). It's going to be veeery hard!
this sunday i have to go have lunch with family my cousin is going over seas and i couldnt get out of it so i will just have a small amout of whatever it is for lunch.. you cant help have a few set backs i guess as long as you are sticking to it good for most of the time. what sups are you taking?
Just Cal/Mag, Folic and cranberry. I know cranberry's not the best choice, but I can't take baby aspirin because I'm BFing. I'll take Benedryl as well in the week of O.
Oh really i am taking cranberry too....is baby asprin better?????? I am going to take zyrtec and benedryl around o... should we take them every day around o?
It depends which diet you're following. For the "Low Everything" diet from this site, it may be a bit high in nutrients. It's still the norm to take it for the IG diet, though.
As for the antihistamines - there's a sticky around here somewhere about it. I need to study up myself so I know what to do come O time.
Hi girls, I think you have to take the Antihistamines every day you have ewcm and then stop when you have o, basically fertile days
