I am doing the le diet but am eating sweets daily. Just wondering if this is a normal part of girl diet. I'm hinking back many years ago when I had my dd and I def. ate chocolate daily(also loved hot cheetos lol)so hoping it doesn't sway either way or sways girl:)
so post here if you have a dd and like your sweets:)
I'd like to know this too. I have a sweet tooth!
Yes i ate fair amounts of chocolate and ice cream.
I have 2 DDs and I was always eating sweets. I have a major sweet tooth which is going to torture me while trying to sway for a boy.
keep em coming mamas I'm feeling good:) I love ice cream too and found me some lf choc bars yummm:)
mmsgirlie- I thought boy moms could eat everything lol. I haven't looked through any of that since I'm swaying girl but i thought you guys had it easy lol
Boy swayers have to keep blood sugars even all day, no spikes from sweets unfortunatly. mmsgirly fruit becomes quite sweet the longer you are on the boy diet, berries and apples, also dark chocolate is alowed its got good nutritional value and not much sugar in it.
I've been craving nothing but sweets since starting the diet.... Ice cream, pudding, red vines, you name it, I wants it!
I have looked at the dietary habits of some of my friends and noted that very consistently the friends of mine who have real sweet tooths (ie love baking and make cakes or sweet things on a very regular basis, or drink a lot of soda) are mums of all girls. I hope this is true!
Yes!
You CAN eat sweets while TTC a boy, as long you eat a fair amount of protein at the same time to keep your blood sugar from crashing.Quote:

I am confused can I eat sweets then while TTC a girl. When you say sweets I assume you mean low fat lollies etc not cakes, biscuts, slices. Am I correct? I have been eating lollies like snakes so would be great to know that is OK.
well there are lots of fat free ice cream,cakes,cookies,snacks, and candys. I have some chocolate mints 5 of them less that 1 gram protein and only 2 grams of fat. We have a lot of choices these days. wondering though if we are supposed to keep our blood sugar down does all this candy help? becasue we eat it then crash? I don't know how all that works?
I am a mom of two boys, and I have always eaten a LOT of sweets. HOWEVER, I also ate a lot of protein so that's probably why I have 2 boys.
I am going to still eat sweets when TTC a girl, but obviously within the limits of the diet!
i agree with mindyjean!
you have up to 60 g fat to play around with, and if you'd like to "spend" some of them on cakes, biscuits, and slices, that's fine.Quote:

Exactly! Plus, if you eat a lot all day long, that can sway blue anyway.Quote:

Yes, your blood sugar rises temporarily after eating, then it drops afterwards. The point of sweets is that they're a high carb, usually low protein/nutrient way to keep your weight up.Quote:
