How does my Girly Sway Look?
Hello! Im brand new and hope I have done enough research on the sire to come up with a plan that makes sense! I was hoping someone could take a look and critique, make suggestions or answer some of the questions I have laid out. I would really appreciate it mamas! xo
My Girly Plan...
DIET
40g-50g of Protein
55g of Fat
1800 calories
Potassium 2500-3500mg
Sodium 1000mg
Skip breakfast, 2 – 3 meals a day – around 11:30am, 2:30pm, 6:30pm
Be ‘hungry’ before eating a meal
Dairy: skim, low fat options for cheese, yogurt, milk
Grains: White rice, pasta, bread
Meat & Alt: No red meat or fish. Chicken if necessary.
Fruit: limit to 1-2 a day, preferably strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.
Vegetables: Limit high nutritious vegetables; low carb vegetables are free (broccoli & spinach); high carb vegetables count calories (squash & yams); High protein vegetables count calories and protein (Legumes); limit high fat vegetables and count calories and fat (avocado & olives)
**** Focus on skim dairy (low fat, protein), white carbs, low carb vegetables.****
Sample Day:
Meal #1 (@11:30am): Toast, cottage cheese, strawberries, glass of milk
Meal #2 (@2:30pm): romaine, chick peas, crotons, red onion, cucumber, mozzarella cheese. With a yogurt and fruit/nuts.
Meal #3 (@6:30pm): 1 serving of white rice with unsalted butter, vegetables (bock choy , kale, broccoli, red peppers, onion) topped with ¼ cup shredded cheese.
Questions about Diet:
1) Am I not supposed to mix protein and carbs? Should my first meal of the day be mostly protein? Or is my main focus to have high carb, high vegetable and a sprinkle of protein?
2) Are egg whites okay? I would like to make veggie omlettes.
3) Is Almond Milk or Rice milk a good alternative from regular milk?
4) Is bread okay or should I stay away from yeast? If so, is there anything special I should look for when choosing a bread?
5) Drinks: I will start to drink crystal light (not a coffee or soda drinker) but what type of water should I drink it with? We use spring fresh water from our water cooler.
6) Are sauces okay to use as long as I stay within the requirements?
7) When its mention to watch sugar intake, is it talking about sugar from carbs or sugar from candy, jams etc? or just a general sense of basically don't eat 3 plates full of pasta (Im Italian so I need this cleared up! lol)
SUPPLEMEMTS & OTHER
Cardio – 60 minutes everyday (walking with my son)
We want to start TTC in June – 12 weeks away
Abstinence with cut off: 7-10 days and DTD 3 days before Ovulation OR use the last attempt of 3 (have him release himself) on the day we want to DTD.
Jump and dump method
No O
KY Jelly
DH will take hot bath before DTD or use a heating pad
He will ease up on the weights at the gym
Folic Acid
DH and Myself will take probiotics
DH Olive leaf Extract
Antihistamines
RepHresh
No SP or cranberry because I am BF my baby boy
No peppermint tea as I am BF my baby boy
No Vitex as my cycles are all 26 days apart.
Questions:
1) what does 2WW mean?? Lol is it the weeks after ovulation?
2) I would prefer to have DH release himself a few times the day we DTD (2-3 days prior to Ovulation) and then on the third attempt allow insemination to happen. Would this be a good idea? We are both very fertile but have low sex drives. There are only males on his family for 4 generations and has very high testosterone. He is also 33 so I am nervous about the abstinence option.
3) How do I test mine and my husbands pH? Will a regular test strip do? Is this necessary?
4) Is there anything I can take to lower mine and DH testosterone?
5) Should DH take Vitamin C?
6) Do I time my 2-3 days to DTD from my first ovulation day or my high fertile day right before ovulation day?
7) When do I use Antihistamines? And which ones?
