June Pink Food Thread

[sweetpea]

I see that the last pink food thread was in March - has anyone started up a June one? If so, can you point me in the right direction? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

I don't think there was one for April or May -- it might be high time to start up one for June. I think that would definitely help people in need of new ideas.

Mushrooms, mushrooms and more mushrooms -- that's what the entries for my last two months would have looked like!

Haha, dramabird!

I wouldn't be any help with a June pink food thread, as I'm currently on a juice fast in order to lose more weight before swaying. My diet literally consists of beet juice and "mean green" juices right now! Can't wait to begin eating again, hence the reason for this thread: I wanted to drool over all the yummy foods you ladies are eating and live vicariously through you guys!

PS: Congrats on the pregnancy, dramabird!!!

this is a problem i don't normally have but i'm not eating enough!
i manage most of my protien and fat ;-0 but what do i do with all these calories! ideas please
i've got to the end of the day with786 calories, 4g fat, 8g of protien, i know i should eat more to avoid starvation mode but what?
tips please i'm doing le and trying to avoid foods banned by FG (but not doing crazy milk stuff)
thanks x

Hmm, you said that you "manage" most of your protein and fat but then listed those as 8g and 4g, respectively. That's far too low. The LE diet allows for up to 30 percent of your calories to be from fat (depending upon whether or not you have pounds to spare) ... so that's as much as 60g in a day. And the protein just shouldn't top 40g. So if you're getting only single digits in, that's too low ... remember, if you drop too much weight or shock your system with too much unhealthy behavior, you could stop ovulating altogether.

Even simple things like ice cream will add some fat and calories, without adding too much sodium.

I'm confused on the same issue that Drama brings up - you need to be eating 40-50 g protein and 25-60 g protein and NEVER drop below 1200 cals a day. 1500-1800 is best for most people.

A few people have asked for this!

Thanks for changing the title and making this post a sticky, NBP!

Okay, ladies...come share what you've been eating this month! I want to live vicariously through you, as I'm not off my juice fast yet!

Truth be told, I've been pretty dang dietless since I had the glimmer of a faint positive IC test. Whether it's for real or not, I just came unglued as soon as I saw a faint line.

If my FRER is negative tomorrow (first real proper test I'll be taking, at 14DPO), I'm back strict on because if there is literally no line on it, that means I'm probably out this month and I'm going to end up having a chemical or something. God, I HOPE NOT!

But the constant ghostly IC lines are starting to freak me out!

[sweetpea]

FX you see a nice line tomorrow, suregena! I've seen your IC tests and they look promising!!!
