Reduce calories in 2 week wait?

[KikiCal]

Am I asking for trouble if I cut my calories in the 2 ww? I don't suspect I'll conceive the first month so I'd like to take a couple weeks off from eating so frequently. Does this wreak havoc on the body and my sway? Just curious if anyone has experienced this.

To be honest I didn't want to mess with my boy eating habits until I got a BFP because I knew if I cut back it would be hard to pick back up. You don't have to eat a lot or large portions just until you are full and you only have to have a small snack, just enough eating throughout the day to keep your blood sugar level.

No, you need to stay on the diet during the 2WW because you need your blood sugar levels to stay up and also because baby boys need more nutrients from the moment of conception - cutting back on cals when you are newly pg may send the signal to your body that you don't have enough food to sustain a boy pregnancy and it may pull the plug on the pregnancy.

Thanks. I've read the HE diet FAQ a few times since you posted it yesterday! Haha, I think I have it down now. Thanks again.
