how much protein and carbs?

I haven't tried yet! My first attempt will be sometime in the next week, depending on my O date. I started the diet back in October 2010 b/c initially we were going to attempt end of November, but some stuff came up and we decided to wait ... so I just stuck with the diet (occasionally having sweets though, esp back during the holidays) since the TW approach is pretty easy to do, and because I wasn't sure when we would decide to TTC... and we've gotten pg once before on accident so I wanted to cover my bases just in case. Anyhow, we just decided a couple of weeks ago to give it a shot this month.

My goal is to have BOTH diets such that you can stay on them indefinitely without killing yourself. The blue diet especially should be something that you can go on and stay on, so you can have more leeway to include timing methods if you like without having to worry about being on the diet for too long.

oh okay!! gotchya! ive just been reading a lot about how teh girls on here are having trouble just conceiving and im wondering if its diet related or supplements or age/fertility etc..who knows. good luck this month!

This is just my opinion, but whenever you cut out an entire class of nutrients (cal, mag, Vit D, etc.) from your diet, that HAS to affect your fertility negatively. Toss in the fact that a lot of blue swayers are being told that eating hot dogs, bacon, ramen, iceberg lettuce, and rice krispies with Coffeemate while drinking Alka Seltzer 6 times a day is the way to conceive a boy and it is no surprise that people are having trouble conceiving.
