Sorry, I know it's on here somewhere but I am not seeing it for some reason. How long should I be on the diet before I make my first attempt? We are not trying until late March or April 2015 so I have some time, haha. I'm just wondering if I should the diet in Janary or if I can wait until February? I am obviously super type A so I want to plan it all out now! :)
6 - 8 weeks is the going advice. You've got LOTS of time! You should consider getting Atomic to do a personalized plan for you, it will help to stifle some of your type A tendencies :)
Yup 6-8 weeks! I am doing 12 but the first 4 were to ease my way into it.
Ditto rosie. .I have been in LE in and off since dec/jan easing my way into it ajd olan to ttc in April.

Thanks everyone. I did the HE diet before and even with my best effort to eat clean, I gained more weight than I wanted. It also took me much longer to conceive my second than it did with my first. I stopped the diet and am pregnant with my second girl. I am on the thin side so it's not a huge deal other than vanity reasons but I am nervous it will take a long time to conceive next time too. Hopefully last time was due to the fact that I was extremely stressed about it all and maybe just some bad luck. Hoping to only have to try 3 cycles at the most. I am a natural LE diet girl so the HE seems like I'm eating all the time!!
I would highly recommend the personalised plan by atomic then, she takes the stress right out of it :)Quote:

Yes but this is a blue swayer and if they tried to do HE Diet that long before TTC, they would gain too much weight! Rulez are different for HE vs. LE! :)Quote:

There is a thread in the Dream Members section called "Eating Smarter, not Harder for Blue" and it's included in the HE Diet 21 day meal guide and it has a lot of tips
OH and also forgot, in months before you are actually doing HE Diet, you can start changing your fat intake to be getting higher % from Omega 3 fat instead of Omega 6 http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...pink-blue.html
