Hi girls any Brits plannng to get preggers at the mo? I'm due to O on Sat so feeling a bit nervous - how are you finding the diet?
Sorry it took a while to report back. I shared these noodles with my mum. I cooked them with cod, loads of garlic and dark soya sauce (although these things are probably not allowed on the LE diet but I am not doing it yet so just reporting on what I did). We really enjoyed the meal. The noodles tasted OK but glad I drowned them in soya and garlic!! Knowing how few calories we consumed, we did end up having magnum ice creams afterwards....(as I said, not on the LE diet yet and making the most lol)Quote:

Hi Ladies,
Do you know of any other UK versions of chitosan? Im veggie anyway, and not sure I like the sound of shellfish crusts, lol!
Thanks!
Yuk shellfish crusts!! I take metamucil but don't know all the ingredients (hopefully no shellfish crusts!) order it online so don't know if it's a uk versionQuote:

Only been on LE for 2 weeks and tbh its gone pear shaped already. Religiously skipped breakfast but have had the odd snack. I didnt really eat much meat before just chicken at a weekend.
I feel like I am eating loads though, I am having veg/rice stir fry for tea or a salad wrap etc..but have a bag of walkers sunbites or a WW muffin everynight after tea.
Im not really loosing weight although I am having about 1000-1100 cals a day!!! x
Hi Mrs M
I'm TTC too but having to skip this month as have had a bit of a nightmare with illnesses and now on diazepam so docs have told me not to plus I've not been able to keep on top of hubby's part in the sway and need to get back into it!
Good luck with it all x
THanks :) I am currently 6dpo so playing the waiting game.
I have got somewhere with my diet now and am loosing weight but not taking in enough cals BUT ive never eaten as many as 1200 a day anyway so know its ok my for height/body etc...
Hope ythis month flies by for you x

Hi, I've been a stalker on this site for what feels like years. I'm ttc from January, when is the next time to start the diet? Also what herbal stuff are you ladies taking? Need a trip to holland and Barrett but can't decide what to do/not to do. How do you find the diet? Feel like I have brain overload at the moment- so much to take in! Any help would be greatly appreciated! XX
Hot toddy it might be worth getting a personalised plan from Atomic as she will give you all the detail so no thinking required. Otherwise your best bet is to look at the sways... Feel free to look at mine. I can't remember off hand now what I did. Good Luck!!
Hi! I took agnus castus and saw palmetto, are you charting your cycles? You need to start there really ;D
Hi Ladies,
Does anyone have any tips for condiments ?
I usually use French's Mustard, Whole Grain mustard, Tobasco Chipotle, or some other hot sauce.
I didn't see any of these on the diet list, so just used a bit of natural yogurt mixed with Mrs Dash, tonight...which was really boring tbh !
Any tips would be massively appreciated !
Hi I've just found this thread, sorry if I repeat anything but 30 pages is a lot to catch up on. I've been on the le diet for 3 months now and it's taken me ages to get to grips with. I'm just waiting on af then it's go time for me.
My staples have been chicken, white rice, sweet potato, broccoli, mrs dash (got from eBay) drinking crystal light (from amazon) drinking organic ss milk, decaf tea with candarel (aspartame) green tea. No pots, tomatoes, red meat. Taking sups, Angnus castus, cranberry, magnesium, folic acid. Hubby is on diet too and taking cranberry, biotin, LR and magnesium. As well as salt rock lamp, no exercise, pink ribbon under pillow etc.
I'm so over it now so hoping I catch first time.
Just confused over timing now, original plan was to freq bd between 6-3 days before then cut off (shettles) but now I read most are doing one shot a O? I don't get it, can anyone help me with this?
Hi lya! If you don't have one get a personalized plan from atomic it really takes the stress out of swaying! There is a great day to day meal thread Stephk started which gives you loads of le diet ideas as your diet sounds a little more ingender than le :) you can eat way more varied food on le. Most of us ttc girls are doing one attempt at a positive opk or if you would prefer BD once every four days this should guarantee just one attempt in your fertile window
hope this helps and welcome xxx p.s come join the thread Christmas babies! TTC pink in April

Aw I can't take the credit for starting it - I just post there as it's useful to share meal ideas :)
Also nice when we are having diet wobbles to know we are not alone
hi I was wondering how long should I be on the diet before we ttcg
hi everyone im from the uk. was just looking up on Licorice Root for my dh. could anyone tell me if this ok?

if so how often should he be taking it? thanks in advance.x
:DS:12 :DS:8 hoping for :pinksperm: soon
Dreaming - 6m plus seems to get good results from what I've seen but ask atomic.
Eleena - no idea how much sorry I just know it shouldn't be taken longer than 12 days I think it is? Have you got a custom Sway plan? Atomic will outline how much on that xx
no we cant really afford it. :sad:
Aw :( she's really good at helping ladies get their girls. She also helps take the Martha side out of swaying because everything is done for you. Xx
That LR looks v confusing!! His your hubby against taking pills? Mine just takes 3 a day of the holland and barratt ones.
I also have not purchased a plan but I have had to spend a lot of time on here planning my sway x
If anyone likes to BBQ but trying to avoid meat, I had these yesterday and they were lovely. Only 14g fat and 7g protein per burger:
Ocado: Dragonfly Gluten Free Organic Mushroom & Garlic Burger 200g(Product Information)
does anyone know if crabsticks are ok to eat?
crabsticks should be fine, but watch the protein content. I havent eaten them for years so I dont know how much protein is in them. FYI, i am having crab for dinner tonight, there is 19g in the amount I have. My personal goal for protein is up to 60g per day whereas the general recommendation is 40-50g a day. I just find it too hard to get 40-50g a day so go for a little more.
ok thanks.Also the licorice root,i will be buying from ebay.
Top Op Jethimadh Liquorice Licorice Mulethi Root 50g for Health & Cooking | eBay
are these ok and how many sticks a day?
I think its best to start a new thread regarding the liquorice root so that atomic can give advice on that.
ok,thanks
well im new on this swaying site i was going to genesis in january but its gonna be such a struggle saving the money and im already feeling guilty about using it when the family could have amazing holidays with it, so even though ive got 5 boys and really dont want another boy, im gonna try the swaying, does anyone know what the statistics are with swaying and where on earth do i start lol x
If you arent prepared to have another boy swaying isnt the best idea. Swaying only does what it says in that it sways you towards one gender or another so preparing yourself for either is the safest way to go I think. You're in the best place to start, all the info is here and if you go elsewhere you will end up here anyway :happy: Good luck!
Hi ladies, I'm from England.
I'm want to sway for a little girl. I'm very confused at the moment, did a lot of research & found out my sway isn't thst great. I'm having a rubbish day today, found out my SIL is having a girl. Sorry for the negative post...just need some inspiration & support.
Any advice on vitamins/supplements for my husband and I? Has anyone bought a girl plan from here?
Hiya! Wishing4agirl I've bought a personalised plan, there is so much outdated/ conflicting advice out there and everything in my plan makes sense to me- you can wade through hundreds of studies on here but the plan summarises everything so well. It's great for me (I'm not even sure we will have another), as now I am much more aware of boy and girl friendly things. If we do go on to have another boy I think I will get comfort from the fact that I had and used the information given and it just wasn't meant to be
Thanks jacobthomas, I've been eating Katjes from Tesco or M&S vegi jellies. There're quite a few different vegi jellie sweets out there now!
uk ladies,i have some supplements for sale-
licourice root 53 capsules left £2
81mg low dose aspirin 360 tablets-used about 1/4 of the bottle-loads left-£3
and cranberry 89 softgels-£2
let me know if anyones interested,would be a shame to waste them.
Bump
are you no longer swaying? xx
I am, but dropping these ...although I was in two minds wether time keep aspirin in my sway or not? Any opinions on keeping aspirin?
ahh ok glad to hear you're still going for the sway :) haven't followed the latest trends in swaying but think as long as you're sticking to the main things (exercise, skipping breakfast, losing weight, general overall health deteriorating! and considering either hubby abstaining if under 35 or frequent release if over) then you're in with a good shot... I think! fingers crossed! xx
Hi everyone I'm new here but have done quite a lot of reading around swaying. We have one perfect baby boy already but am planning to sway for Ttc a girl starting in April. I have been looking everywhere in the uk for calcium citrate but can't find any as it's always calcium carbonate. Any tips as to where to get it from? Also I've bought replens to use 3 days before we plan to bd. I'm going to start with a cut off and then see how long it takes as find it hard to exactly pin point o. I am struggling with the diet as I love meat and potatoes but trying my hardest. Does anyone know how long it takes for food/drink to change ph? So if I drank loads of aspartame how long after would it take for ph to drop? Thanks in advance!
