LE diet vegetarian questions

[Debahlgrim]

I am just starting the LE diet this week. I skip breakfast when I'm not exercising and if I do exercise I just eat an apple on the way to the gym. I stopped snacking and I am sticking to 2-3 meals a day. I don't drink coffee at all (hate it!) and I am going to try to drink wine a couple times a week.

1st question- can I just drink wine 2 weeks before BD or should I try to add it the whole time?

What I am having a LOT of trouble with is the vegetarian aspect... can I stick to white meat a couple times a week? How important is the vegetarian aspect? Is it because of the protein? As long as I am not eating too much I'm ok?

Hey I'm starting this week too!!!
For me it's been an absolutely massive change to my normal habits!!!
Skipping breakfast is something I have never ever done!! And no snacking is so hard!!
Am forcing myself to drink coffee and at first it was awful but now I actually look forward to it!
No advice about the meat, so far I've gone veggie but am ganna have some meat on weekends! X

I never drank coffee

It gives me major tummy troubles lol

So I stick to instant and it's much more mild on the tum

Drinking instant! With abit of skimmed milk! And I started off with one sugar
Then moved to artificial sweetener
And now just milk!
We have a coffee machine with pods etc that my partner uses but I find them so strong that I need so much milk and sugar to make them drinkable i feel it counter acts having it if that makes sense!
Just using milicano instant from Tesco xx

I don't know if I can stomach any coffee but if I can do I drink it with a meal if I put sugar and cream in it?

I'm not sure tbh as I'm quite new to all this
I have mine first thing when I wake up and then one more with breakfast at about 11 ish
I think if it has calories in it then it's classed as a 'snack'
So I'm guessing would be best with a meal so your blood sugar levels aren't raised from the coffee on its own! X

1)Wine: We don't know. Just don't have that level of data to know how long before sway is necessary with the alcohol.

2)Yes, you can have meat a couple times a week. The MAIN reason why I have people go vegetarian is that it makes it easier to stick to the diet. When people eat meat, since it has a lot of protein for relatively few calories people end up eating a hunk of chicken and going over on protein but only have eaten 400 cals or so. Then what do you eat the rest of the day?? People end up on these awful diets of chicken and gummy worms and cucumbers which is starvation and not allowed. So if you can stick to the diet and have meat now and then it is ok to do that.

If it's with a meal you can have sugar in it. If between meals or in the morning you can have with artificial sugar and/or milk. FWIW this was a cheat I personaly had. I had my coffee in the morning with milk and real sugar. Just wasn't willing to give that up. Still got a girl. Technically I think it's better not to do it that way, of course.
