    That there was my brain exploding.
    I...don't know where to begin. Let me start with the basics. Mother of two boys, 2 and 6 months. My Hobby comes from a family with alotta boys. He has three brothers. I feel like we'll never get a girl without swaying. I was originally going to do the IG diet but LE sounds better and more promising. But..I'm still nursing my babe and I realized in depleting my nutrients I would be too. So I have some questions that I don't know if you can answer. But you seem like swaying brainiacs so I have faith!

    Hi! All i know is that you have to be super super depleted will you get depletions in your milk....
    It is possible to eat according to the le diet without getting depleted i think, most important is that you'll loose some weight, keep your blood sugars low and lower your nutrient intake. Think that is possible while BFing. And if you doing it for only six weeks i would not be so worried about it. You must be more cautious in the supplements you are considering to take, if you want to take supps.

    Am sure atomic can help you with this. I think i'll go for a personalized plan if i were you!

    I did the LE diet whilst nursing (twice a day). I ate 100g of chicken twice a week to keep my protein up for my milk supply, and also drank RLT. My supply stayed high, but I did avoid antihistamines as those can dry up the milk supply and I had to avoid other supps I wanted to take (aspirin and saw palemtto) as those aren't safe when BF.

    if you're only nursing a little bit I'd personally advise waiting until you stop so you can do a stronger sway, as if you're only feeding a couple of times a day it really won't be taking many nutrients from you but will still prevent you doing the hormone lowering.

    Thanks guys! Is it only necessary to be on the diet for six weeks? I read sways of people being on them forever. I checked with Pharmacy and Motherrisk. The ingredients in the Sudafed are considered safe. I'm a Vegetarian so I dont eat meat. I usually eat soy based protein but heard that sways boy. My son is still very much actively nursing. He nurses around the clock every 1-2 hours. But I heard that sways pink too! The goal I read was to lose as much weight as quickly as possible. Would you ladies suggest I wean off salt and lose a few pounds slowly until the six week mark or try to save those lbs for those weeks so there's more to lose?

    IG Diet is not compatible with breastfeeding so if you want to continue, LE is the way to go.

    Low nutrients does not mean NO nutrients and if you're not having enough nutrients for BM, it just tends to dry up. You aren't harming or depleting your baby in any way (esp. once past the 6 month mark) by doing LE Diet. If you're concerned, just add in a vitamin drop with DHA for your baby.

    It is believed that gender ratio is NOT genetically predetermined, altho some families may have genetic factors like more muscle mass that could then, in turn, sway.

    Okay thanks! That makes me feel better. I had a ton of questions but my brains gone blank. I did have that question I posted in the main forum in regards to Progesterone and Lime. And the one I asked about dieting. Do you think I could lose a few pounds healthily than do the LE? Or do you think a wam bam woukd be better? Im planning on ttc in April. I dont want to be on the LE and have a halt in losing weight.

    it's not so much the ingredients of the sudafed that are a risk (and Actifed is considered the safest decongestant for breastfeeders), but that they may dry up your milk. It wouldn't harm your LO, but might be inconvenient if they depend on the feed and the milk goes
