    Which option would you think would sway more pink?

    Option A:
    Maintain a low-level weight loss over the course of months. Eating somewhat LE, but including meat and not necessarily skipping breakfast for blood sugar. Dropping a pound every few weeks eating this way. Then TTC.

    Option B:
    Maintaining a steady weight eating somewhat LE but including meat and breakfast eating. Then switching to more rapid weight loss (1lb a week or so) in the two months leading up to TTC.

    I *can* do both. But I feel it would be harder mentally to aim for both. Considering we aren't really sure when we are planning to sway exactly (I change my mind a lot). This wouldn't be the only sway factor, but the others would be pretty much the same no matter which LE diet option we went for. In the two months leading to TTC, I would drop the meat (most of it) and start skipping breakfast. I am really just looking for what people think might be more pink-like in regards to the slower weight loss versus maintaining and then dropping more rapidly.

    We may be done, we may come back for one more sway. Time will tell. At the moment, we are very content with our family!

    I tend to think option B would be better. When I conceived my second son I had been losing weight steadily over several months about 1 pound per week, and then "fell off the wagon" so to speak for a couple weeks when I conceived. Eating out more. Didn't gain weight but stopped losing. Although I do sway in other ways (very healthy organic and real food diet).

    I think B, too, because it includes a more dramatic change and that's probably necessary for swaying pink. The human body is so good at adapting that I think a shock to the system is required, especially in a woman who naturally sways blue.

    I honestly don't know and can't say. My gut instinct is that it's best to go vegetarian for as far in advance of sway as is feasible but I just really don't know on the rest of it. I think you should do what you can stick to above all else - for me personally I would do better hitting it hard in the short term rather than doing it slowly over time.

    Thanks for the input. I'll have to consider this more closely and decide (well out from swaying, so as not to add more stress to swaying!). We have a bit before we even think about swaying and trying. I keep moving it further out. Lol. I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond
