Is it okay to have sweets, cakes, chocolate ..... in the LE diet (as long as I am within my calories)?
I think it should be okay since it is low in nutritiens?? Maybe I just have to watch fat intake..
I am in the 2 ww and I am craving for sweets!!!! Maybe this is a bad sign, because serotonin drops
Does serotonin actually drop after a fertilization as well? Does anybody know!??

As long as fat (especially saturated fat) and cals are within limits, go for it. I would limit dark chocolate or things with high cocoa content, though, as dark chocis so rich in nutrients that may sway blue.
I think low fat junky sweets sway pink quite strongly, personally.
It is elevated progesterone levels after O that likely have you craving sweets.

I have been eating cakes, sweets and biscuits just ensuring I stick within daily limits. I have them as a third meal at supper time as I'm usually trying to get enough calories!

Sweets are definitely great for pink if they are within fat and calorie limits. If you suspect you might have pcos or you have weight to lose, I'd cut back but otherwise they are a perfect source of empty calories.

yes fine, i'd choose lower nutrient options
It's normal to crave sweets in 2WW. Don't worry about serotonin or any such thing. it's normal when you make a lot of progesterone in teh 2ww!!! Questions??
