LE Diet Thread

[chocolate]

Do you know I also feel better on this diet (as long as I eat enough) if I eat meat, especially red meat, my body scent seems to change. I Def. Seem to sweat less and secrete nicer smells now lol!!!

Went to a friends house for a buffet lunch and did have a couple of chipolata sausages though today but with salad, potato, cheese mini pastry and crisps so quite alot of girl friendly carbs.

My best friend had her scan at 12 weeks and I'm sure it's a girl nub but Atomic said 12 weeks the gender can't be predicted yet so I'm holding onto that for a bit. If my best friend has a girl I think I'll be in for some rough days before sorting myself out, doesn't help I feel pmt coming

Af has landed for me chocolate making it a 26 day cycle, 2nd af after finishing POP so promising that my cycle has come back but a little disappointing that I didn't catch... Anyway, onwards and upwards! Not sure exactly when I ov but my last day of EWCM was cd15. I'll continue with the e4d plan this month and see how we get on.

Diet wise... I've been experimenting with recipes from the deliciously Ella cookbook as she does all vegan (together with gluten and wheat free) recipes. I've made the caramel chocolate slices and wow are they amazing but absolutely loaded with fat due to the nuts!! Otherwise diet hasn't been too bad today, let's hope I can continue a bit better this week.x

Sorry af is here, but 26 days is great as not too long till its ovulation again :-) Maybe you did ovulate day 15 with an 11 day luteal phase, mine can be between 10 days and 14 days.

Caramel chocolate slices sounds amazing but I'd binge on them I'm sure ;-) I felt really warm today, much hotter during my work out so I'm hoping af will be here very soon as want to crack on with the next cycle before I change my mind!

All my friends have girls too, really doesn't help the desire for pink does it?!

Met a friend for lunch today so first meal of the day was a mozzarella and med veg panini with a green juice...x

Tricking the body in to "hard times" - would this mean that eating a treat or chocolate after lunch and dinner is not really hard times??.. or maybe its just me that needs to curb the sweet tooth!!

Stay in limits of diet. You have freedom within those limits. All the LE Diet is, is the lowest but still normal intake of calories, protein, and fat. This "tricks" your body into thinking times are harder than they were while still remaining fertile and healthy enough to get and stay pregnant. Chocolate is just fuel to your body - your body does not know what it is at all and does not think "hmm this is an expensive treat, better make a boy". It registers X number of cals, fat, protein. That's all.

That's amazing feedback! And you answered the exact thought i was having today!! I wondered if my body knew/thought if chocolate was a "luxury"!!!
