    Most important part of the LE diet?

    Ok so today is my first day of the diet I can stay in the calorie range, its gonna be really hard but I can do no meat I just can't seem to stay in the sodium range. Do you think this will effect my sway?

    As I understand it, that's an absolutely essential part of the diet... But atomic will most certainly clear that up for you!

    I don't think atomic watched sodium at all when she was on the diet, and she got her girl! She's been saying for a very long time that sodium is the least important part of the sway.

    I agree - sodium is probably the least important part of a pink sway. As for the most important thing? I'm not really sure, as I know it's very important to stay low on calories, fat, protein, and overall nutrients, but it's also very important to keep blood sugar low. I'm thinking maybe the blood sugar is the most important part, especially in the 2WW because it's been proven that x and y sperm suck up different amounts of glucose. But, I could be wrong about what the most important aspect of the diet is - I'm sure Atomic will weigh in with her thoughts.

    Sweet baby boy, you are loved and missed more than you will ever know.
    There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and wonder what
    you would have been like. I love you and miss you so much.
    Rest now, my baby, in the loving arms of Jesus.

    Sodium does get easier over time... it can take a while to get into the swing of things! I would try to focus on calories, fat, protein intake, and stay away from the meat, and if you go over on your sodium at first, that's okay. I found the diet to be a lot easier when I took "baby steps".

    I agree with this! The sodium was really hard for me to stay under at first, but it got way easier with time.

    I would say sodium is least, most is just staying within the fat, protein and cal guidelines for the day while eating only 2 or 3 meals. GL!!

    I agree. It gets a lot easier but it's the last thing I really watch when I cheat.

    Oh, Ribbons.. Small world. I'm from Dallas, Texas! Miss it terribly.
