OK, can anyone help me.... I've become a bit addicted to a McDonald's honeycomb frappe and not sure I can stop ;-) Anyone think of a low fat/low sugar/sweetner way to make one at home that's girl friendly????
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Hahaha, there's always something isn't there. Just an idea but you could make your own at home with semi skimmed milk, buy the monin honeycomb syrup or make some sugar free honeycomb, then on top you could use low fat squirty cream. Not sure it would be the same though! Good luck, wish someone would come up with some no fat no sugar yummy chocolate!!!
I know peppermint tea is suppose to sway pink..do you guys think mixing it with raspberry tea would be ok? I like the idea of peppermint tea, just can't stand the taste. Raspberry makes me enjoy it a little more.

I'm not sure about the raspberry. I add some sweetner.
Think I'll have to have a Google of frappe recipes. Maybe just some milk, ice, coffee and cocoa powder with lots of sweetner, low fat squirty cream and a little syrup as a treat. Will have to try ;-)

Does any of you have tips to how to gain weight and add up fat-intake without going over on protein or ruining the sway? I keep losing weight although I eat 2000 kcals and go to the upper limit in protein and fat. I am down to 46,7 kilo (my height is 165 cm.), so I am affraid I will stop ovulation if I don't gain some kilos. But I eat and eat and have recently startet to add cake and bounty bar to my meals to add fat. Nothing helps. Atomic have suggested me to reduce cardio to 4 times a week, eat more eggs, full fat dairy and go up to 2200 kcals a day. People around me ask if I am sick, my mother want me to eat protein bars and go to the doctor to have some blood test done to make sure I am not sick. But I feel weel and don't feel sick. If any of you have some advices for how to gain weight without ruining my sway I would be very happy.
Another question. How do we swayers know if we get enough vitamins and nutrients? Since staring LE diet in January I have cut out all meat (except seafood), healtly oils, nuts, seeds, avocado and nutritious foods as I used to eat gallons of while I got my boys. But how do we make sure to stay healthy and get enough of vitamins? While swaying I am not suppose to eat vitamins either, so I have to get if from the food. I eat tons of rice and vegetables, and some beans and lenses, but does this contains enough vitamins?
I think our body stores nutrients for a while and because we can eat fruit and veg. We still get nutrients that way.
Maybe add in a large glass of wine, a bread roll, rice... These things add calories but not much fat or protein, sweetcorn is quite calorific. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. I am of similar height and about 49kg but to maintain that I have to do an hour of exercise and eat about 1500 calories a day, wish we could swap some calories lol

Chocolate - that sounds like a fab plan re the frappe!! I may have try that one...
Dream sister - I'm not really sure what you can add from what atomic has already said. Are you on the upper limits of fat and protein - 60g each? How about low impact cardio like just walking? Perhaps write a separate thread that atomic will read as she doesn't usually look at these ones x
I've had an awful few days diet wise, I've binged so badly and I'm pretty sure I'm in the tww which I know is important to maintain on, but I've honestly been like a woman possessed and done something I'm not proud off :( back on it properly today though and had a good long fast with a 15k run and eaten well following that, fingers crossed that behaviour has passed now!x
Just had some tomatoe soup with plain bagel. Angel cake and pains me to say... some chocolate!! Diet coke.
3 sacharm I was the same yst, ate all round me ... Really bad!! Was hungover so had everything in sight, back on the diet again today! Thinking of postponing my attempt for another mth, just Soo nervous about it all as this is defi my last!

Honestly ladies, please don't worry about a day or two or even an off week! You never know when the perfect egg will be released or how long it will take to get pregnant. My girl mom friends had a few binge weeks before they got pregnant! Just pick back up and start fresh. Who knows, this may be what you needed to get pregnant anyway! Plus, I doubt you were really that bad anyway. As long as you didn't eat a side of beef in one sitting, you'll be fine [emoji6]!

Bad day today,can't stop eating, can't stop thinking about what to eat, and had the food shop delivered today so had to try a bit of everything!!!

My new fav salad is cucumber, tomato cheese and dressing. Is there any reason tomatoes are avoided by some girl swayers? What's the deal with tomatoes?
Thank you!
Last nights dinner was my personal best of halloumi salad and a cheesy flat bread, wine. Night before was fish with salad and garlic baby potatoes. My lunch today had no real thought behind it. I just grabbed a brioche. Had some vegetable rice. cut a slice of cheese and put some tobasco sauce on it. I currently have a few fries in the oven and that's my lunch done. Diet coke.
Crackers with goats cheese, and dinner will be a pasta bake without the chicken with a diet coke. Having a coffee now

I've had a couple of part baked rolls with a little light flora and Parmasan cheese shavings. A yoghurt. A frappe in between which I shouldn't really do but will cut that out once af is here, having lettuce with tomatoes and Parmasan again and 2 rolls for tea, wine this evening

Excited to share!
Amazing Lunch today! Lasagna Roll Ups!! I cooked the lasagna noodles until they were soft. then i cooked mushroom, spinach and added a little black pepper. then I got tomato sauce and added some spices and spread the mix on the noodles as they lay flat, then rolled them up and baked them! So delicious!
Also, I had a chat with my gf who is expecting a baby girl. I asked her what she used to eat before she was pregnant. She said breakfast was a protein bar and coffee. Then she would have a yogurt with some fruit. Then for lunch she would have a big salad and dinner was usually vegetables with chickpeas and curry sauce or something of that type. She is also a huge coffee and wine* drinker!
Thanks Nessa, I really need reminders of what mums of girls eat at the moment. I feel like I'm emotional eating right now, averaging an extra 500 calories a day but am after ovulation so maybe a natural thing and not reaching for meat! Was thinking about some strawberries and yoghurt as a late breakkie, then a salad and maybe another salad with rolls for tea so makes me feel better knowing a girl mum ate similar :-)

Nessa can you ask how often they had sex lol??

Horrendous day Monday on diet but back on it today, I had salad for lunch with some chicken, I did a six mile run so I needed something in salad. Dinner was two slices of vegetarian pizza, with a few roast potatoes and slice of banana bread! Think may have over done the fat but hey ho! X
Sure Chocolate, they DTD as much as possible as she was worried she wouldn't get pregnant due to prior health issues. Im so happy for her :) and her diet checks out! I asked her for a few of her favourite meals since Im new to the vegetarian way and she has lots of years of experience! Ill share her recipes as I explore them myself.
For now Id love to share my dinner from tonight! it was so yummy! I had a tomato, cucumber, arugula and ranch dressing salad with a delicious wrap! In my wrap was sautéed mushrooms, spinach, some cucumber, tatziki, feta and olives.
Dessert was a chocolate jello pudding, a pop tart and glass of wine!
Sounds great Nessa,good to know that they also had a good amount of attempts as I'm thinking of maybe a couple of attempts but not sure yet.
Your meal sounds great!

Think i totally over-indulged for lunch. Had some mushroom rice. slice of toast with cheese. Bagel with low fat spread. Diet coke. and im contemplating a tiny angel cake of my kids..
As in maybe dtd on day 10 as I got a positive opk, but didn't ovulate till later so would have to have had another attempt. Or just trying every 4 days or something
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
I get it! I might do the every 4 day thing if the one attempt doesn't work at +opk too!
I'm totally shit with diet this week! I just can't seem to get back on track and it's starting to get to me. I need a big kick up the bum!!!!x
Im with you there 3!! Im not eating when i want etc.. BUT, ive stopped counting calories and im eating what i want when i DO eat! Im just starting to slide because i think 4 months is long enough for me on the LE and DH and i have agreed our attempt month is July! Soooo, thats more time on diet for me. AND - i started brisk walking everyday, but then heard 40 minutes is boy frequency, so i stopped that. Tried jumping on the trampoline but i feel like i have eyes staring at me! So stopped that! I think ill do a cardio video instead. Its just doing it everyday and trying to find that gap! Its all or nothing it seems so no point in starting and then missing two or three days!
Couch potatoe suits me better but im not loosing weight. Still same weight as when i began this journey.
Bleh..
Do you have much to lose though squiggle? I was surprised as I've lost a few lbs that I didn't *really* need to lose from being on this diet that I really didn't think I would?! I am doing the cardio though, at least 5 times per week and usually running, which for an hour is quite heavy going.
I've just got back from a three course lunch in celebration of our anniversary! I curbed it fairly well though I think; I had a small bowl of mixed olives for starter, the lighter pizza thing which apparently is around 550kcals and was vegetarian - goats cheese scattered on top mmmmmm!! Then a chocolate torte with vanilla gelato (always have to have a pudding!!) followed by a shot of coffee. I also had a small glass of wine with it!! It could have been significantly worse given the week I've had with my diet so I feel pleased at least with that. Oh and I'm running tonight too.
I've been on the diet since the beginning of Feb so I'm defo getting fed up with it which just isn't helping my resolve unfortunately.x
Your lunch sounds fab! That's my kinda eating! Wine, chocolate, olives, pizza, goats cheese - all my favs! I can deffo loose some weight. Im not over weight, but id like to loose before getting preg anyway.. I always feel better a little lighter than what i am currently also. I dont mind doing cardio, i was running before i started LE, just not 6/7 days a week for 60 mins. I just have to pick a day and start and keep going till attempt.
I had a kitkat at lunch. diet coke. small role with cheese. and a tiny bit of mushroom rice-which i dont like just finished it off..
I need a small treat a few times a week and I saw that white chocolate was good but every brand I find has tons of salt amc protein? Anyone know a decent one? I'm sick of Jelly Belly beans lol
Most of us have given up tracking salt totally and you can actually use the protein to meet your limits if you need to. :)
I ate tons of these when I was swaying. Not a lot of sodium or protein https://www.instacart.com/safeway/pr...berries-3-5-oz
