Oh and I meant to say that no I haven't read any essays.
I don't really use pulses and nuts on SW. I basically am doing a LE diet on SW tbh. I just need to cut out the tomatoes, Caffiene, and red meats. I mostly eat a lot of chicken.
Does anyone know if the Maggi So Juicy herbs are okay to use?
Hi pinky pie, I'm in south bucks not too far from you!
Have a good look at the le diet info, i think atomic says caffeine isn't really a problem but it is best to cut chicken out or as little as possible because it is just so high in protein. I have a little bit once a week now, the rest of the time completely veggie which must be a shock to my carnivore like system! I think herbs should be fine, I try to add herbs, spices and chilli flakes to my boring le pastas and rices!
Oh I thought chicken was quite low in protein?
Would it be okay to eat chicken once a day? There is no way I'd be able to cut it out completely :-\
I'd limit it to once a week if you can, but if not try and have a really small portion size (100g or less)
doing a slightly modified SW diet would be better than no diet at all, but I think it would still be a bit too nutrient rich for a really good sway
when swaying last time I'd tell myself "I really want a Chinese... but I want a girl more" and it was quite easy to go without things that way
only you know what you're willing to compromise on, and it's important you feel comfortable with everything you're doing to sway or you'll end up with regrets or struggle to stick with it
have a read of this one: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...l-version.html
Eeek, 100g is not a lot is it. I ate chicken when I got pregnant with dd in 2005 and I hardly ever ate veg or fruit back then :-\
it's perfectly valid to do again what you did back then! a diet low in nutrients (variety of veg/fruit) is probably enough to convince the body that times are hard too, but we have evidence that vegetarians have more daughters statistically, as do those who skip breakfastQuote:

I'm going to try and cut out the coffee as much as possible and eat small amounts of chicken. I might get Quorn chicken. Is that okay to eat? Stopping the breakfasts again too.
Hi Ladies,
Still in the gathering info stage....chilli? Ginger?herbs? Pepper? These ok? Just thinking will improve the flavour of few things :) oh and jacket potatoes?

I'm getting my implant out later today! Picking up my kids from school then going to family planning to get it removed! Strict diet is starting on Thursday because I need to have a chilli con carne on Wednesday lol.
Hope everyone is well? Xxx
Still gathering info too... But I think the things you have mentioned are fine. Apart from maybe jacket potatoes but I'm sure I remember reading the insides are fine just not the skin?? Prob best if someone with more knowledge confirms...Quote:

From what I know Evian water, leeks, courgettes (peeled) and green grapes are all fine. Don't forget to peel your cucumber!
Sounds fine, Tree. The only thing I would say is if you can go without the afternoon or evening snack and have the Snack-a-Jacks as part of your other meals, that might be better if you can do it.
Ok thank you. Is that to get the blood sugar down between eating? If so how long between meals is good?Quote:

I've been trying for 5 months and this is the first one off Vitex as I feel it's stopping me conceive. I got pregnant with 1 & 2 first shot and #3 is taking it's time but it will all be worth it.
For my diet I'm getting about 75% of GDA of salt, 1200-1400 calories, a few glasses of vodka and 5 cigarettes per day. I will get my donor to donate to me in the morning, so it's easier to skip breakfast. I'm keeping about 3-4 hours from when I wake up until I eat.
Hope that helps someone!
Helps me, thank you! Rice Krispie squares, I'd forgotten about them... Yum! Which weight watchers meals are you eating? And other low salt ones actually?Quote:

Hello ladies, I am in the uk and will be starting my LE diet soon. Currently not ovulating due to BF my 5 month old but periods returned at 7/8 months before so will be ttc then. small gap this time. Still learning, so much info to take in!
Just wondered if any of you UK ladies had ordered Acijel from New Zealand. Ready to start ttc but my aci hasn't arrived yet so getting a bit worried!
I am going to start drinking coffee as part of my sway but i don't like it! Can anyone suggest a mild instant brand i can get at Tesco?
Will you drink decaf coffee?Quote:

I thought coffee (and caffeine) swayed pink, have I got that wrong?Quote:

Can anyone tell me what yogurts are best to start on?
AS drank loads of caffeine when she conceived her DD - I think the rationale is that it stops you absorbing some of the vitamins in food. Sorry I cannot find the link.Quote:

i drank too much coffee and black tea with both boys and so my first and my second son's dads. lets say 7-8 cups a day 0_0! But now I see that some ladies got girls drinking coffee! So, you never know for sure, I guess it is better to go opposite then?!
I know some of you ladies are drinking cranberry juice. Juice has a lot of nutrients, so it would be best to leave it out for a girl sway. Caffeine is fine as long as you have it in large amounts, it's only one part of the sway though so 8 cups of coffee won't automatically get you a girl.
Hi girls - anyone have an alternative to Wheat thins as I can't find these in the UK TIA x
Hi girls, not sure if I am posting this in the correct place but I was looking into using RepHresh and I came across the UK website. They are currently giving away free samples so you can try before you buy! You have to do a short survey, it took me only a few minutes. The link to the survey is at the bottom of the home page:
:: RepHresh - Home ::
(good luck to all in their sway, I am still not decided on when to start TTC but am reading as much as poss and formulating my plan at the mo)
Thanks stephk. I just completed the survey; didn't take long at all.

Hi Ladies, I remember atomic posting about some miracle noodles, I think these Eat Water Slim noodles must be similar (feel free to correct me anyone) - 14 calories per 200g, low calorie, no carb, no sugar etc. I have ordered some with my shopping and will report back next week!
Ocado: Eat Water Slim Noodles (Product Information)
I think they are quite similar. Great find, but before stocking up on these I suggest trying one pack first as the texture and taste are not for everyone. ;)Quote:

I've started LE the last two days but tonight we have friends round who are expecting us to have a takeaway or a shop bought pizza- basically some sort of treat. There will also be alcohol. Any ideas to keep me relatively LE but also not get moaned at for not joining in with the treats?? X
Personally considering you have only started the diet two days ago I would probably just not worry about it tonight and enjoy it. And then start from fresh tomorrow keeping within your limits.Quote:
