How long on diet before first attempt?

[Quinn31]

Sorry, I know it's on here somewhere but I am not seeing it for some reason. How long should I be on the diet before I make my first attempt? We are not trying until late March or April 2015 so I have some time, haha. I'm just wondering if I should the diet in Janary or if I can wait until February? I am obviously super type A so I want to plan it all out now!

6 - 8 weeks is the going advice. You've got LOTS of time! You should consider getting Atomic to do a personalized plan for you, it will help to stifle some of your type A tendencies

Yup 6-8 weeks! I am doing 12 but the first 4 were to ease my way into it.

I've been eating the upper limits of LE since Oct 2013 and having out first attempts this month so would have been on diet 4.5 months.

Thanks everyone. I did the HE diet before and even with my best effort to eat clean, I gained more weight than I wanted. It also took me much longer to conceive my second than it did with my first. I stopped the diet and am pregnant with my second girl. I am on the thin side so it's not a huge deal other than vanity reasons but I am nervous it will take a long time to conceive next time too. Hopefully last time was due to the fact that I was extremely stressed about it all and maybe just some bad luck. Hoping to only have to try 3 cycles at the most. I am a natural LE diet girl so the HE seems like I'm eating all the time!!

I would highly recommend the personalised plan by atomic then, she takes the stress right out of it

For HE Diet, 6 weeks is enough. If you are really super thin you might want to start a bit earlier and I'd def. have you aiming to up intake of meat and colorful fruits and veg, and go for protein and carbs at meals in the months coming into doing the full on HE.

Yes but this is a blue swayer and if they tried to do HE Diet that long before TTC, they would gain too much weight! Rulez are different for HE vs. LE!
