For people that want to record what they are eating (to help be strict!)

[Mrs.tinkerbell]

Some of you are sooo strict. I'm using my fitness pal app and seem to be eating a lot more but sticking within the protein fat limits.
Today I had
Breakfast coffee and sups

12.00 Lunch spinach and falafel wrap, low fat yoghurt hand full of blueberries

3.00 snack 2 rice cakes low fat Philly, a childs raseberry and oats goodies bar yummy and no fat or protein) peppermint tea

7.00 baked potatoe with roasted veg sprinkle of cheese and a dollop of cous cous and coleslaw, diet coke

I seem to be eating a lot more than you lot but I'm still sat her hungry.
That all came in at
Cals 1308
fat 53
protein 32

Very interesting. I haven't started the diet yet and won't for awhile. Thanks for the info ladies!

[Hopeful37]

you guys are good. This LE Diet is killing me!! I do fine until dinner. That seems to be the hardest for me. Especially when I have to make dinner for the family and then something separate for me. I hope I get preg on the first try because I can't imagine having to do this diet for 4 months.

Breakfast at 11:30..yoplait with banana or strawberries, coffee with skim milk in the am
Lunch 2pm...white rice with green beans, skinned apple, soda 1-2 to fill me up between lunch and dinner or crystal light x2
might snack on rice cakes, wheat thins because i am starving by 5pm!!!
Dinner I pray I will not eat any of the regular dinner that I make and I improvise with what ever I am making for the family and just not eat the meat.

Good luck girls!!!

I am starving all day too. I am up every morning by 5am to work out for 60+ minutes. Then I die all morning from hunger... I drink 2-3 cups of peppermint tea during the morning (same tea bag) and the same thing in the afternoon ( new tea bag) with lots of water. Lunch is between 11am and 12:30. I eat a big bowl of rice and beans with some jalapeños for flavor (unsalted rice and beans is the worst)! I usually eat a rice cake/piece of fruit/ leftover veggies too to try to hit around 600 cal. Dinner is usually rice pasta with a little marinara and sautéed veggies. I end up nibbling on what I made the family too. I also have 1-2 glasses of wine (3.5 oz each) depending on where my calories are.

Our family is currently gluten and casein free. When I add in vegan-style cooking, that doesn't leave me many options. Oh, and I might as well say, I cheat (hard boiled egg here and there, homemade granola bar when my kids drive me crazy, etc.). Working out and eating so little it is hard for me to sustain the discipline. Hoping the combination of everything makes a good pink sway and I don't have to do this much longer.

Is this meal plan for trying to conceive a boy?

[crazyladyneedsababy]

ooooooooooo this is a great thread, Ive not started my diet yet but will be stealing meal ideas and recording my food intake to keep me motivated xxx

[Funkyfry]

This is great girls and some great ideas. I have been doing LE only one week and already today was totally bad! Eeeek! Back being strict tomorrow. Will start recording here to try keep on track.

I am on 1200 calories a day but my fat and protein are always low and sodium always high. Any one else on a 1200 calories a day intake that is able to get fat, protein etc correct?

Hi Ladies

I've just discovered this site. Wow it's amazing I've been really struggling with the cans and cannot eats with the pink diet, I find alot of other sites contradict each other So this forum is really helpful.

Just wanted to ask on a few things really, I'm only on week one of the diet and kept reading chocolate is a major no no but then I've seen quite a few posts that people are eating chocolate, so now I'm confused. I thought caffine altogether was forbidden on this diet so you thoughts on this would be a great help. A few other things I'm unsure on is should I be drinking lots of cranberry juice and what is the best supplements to be taking, as again websites contradict each other (really sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area)

Thanks in advance ladies.. Lost of pink baby dust to us all x

There is more than one TTC a girl diet. They are not all in agreement. So before anyone can really tell you what to eat or not you have to decide what diet makes the most sense to you - if it's the "mineral" diets like FGD/IGD or if it's nutrients and maternal condition.

Thanks for the links, will have a good study of them later. Ive been studying the diets for over a week now and it's still all boggling my mind. Do you know if one diet has more success than the others? Thanks again, Will be having another good read of it all tonight when the gorgeous kiddie winks are in bed. x
