There's nothing wrong with potatoes, bananas, pastries, and tomatoes, they can be a great part of a girl sway. It's better to focus on lowering calories overall, limiting protein or going vegetarian, and lowering fat.
Cranberry, in my opinion, is just not worth it. It's expensive, full of nutrients that sway blue, and while it does lower ph, we don't even know if ph sways. Baby aspirin might be a better choice?
First thing I'd drop is Zyrtec, but I'm sure atomic will chime in with her recommendation. I'd try, as hard as it is, to take comfort in the fact that you've lowered your fertility enough to get a few bfn and I hope you get that BFP soon!

Potatoes are a good source of cals whilst being low in protein and fat. I'm not a potato lover but I've been having loads on this diet, they have been my saviour many a time!! I also eat a banana pretty much every day. If I want to eat tomatoes and pastries I do. As carmella says you just need lower cals, protein and fat overall. I can't comment on the supps as I don't use them except folic acid.

Don't forget, you can add in iron 18-30 mg 3x a week, zinc 8-15 mg 3x a week, iodine 150 iu daily, and if and only if you are not getting much eggs and dairy, the lowest possible dose of B12 you can find once per week if you have been on diet for 3-6 months (if you've been on longer than 6 months DEFINITELY do this)

The recommendations for potassium on IG and on here are IDENTICAL. 2500-3500 mg a day, because that is the lowest amount you need for your health and well being (I do not believe potassium sways blue except as a part of an overall healthy and varied diet). The difference is, on IGD people are getting huge amounts of dairy and that is LOADED with potassium. So they are already getting gobs of it and since they do believe potassium sways, they have to cut out potassium foods to keep within that level.
On LE Diet we are not doing all that dairy and it can be darn tough to get enough potassium on LE. That's why it is IMPERATIVE not to limit potassium foods on LE - you need them in order to get enough potassium for your survival. Nobody should be both avoiding high intake of dairy and limiting potassium foods, because you can die if you do not get enough potassium (esp. if you are taking cal/mag supplements)!!!

most people don't eat any meat and go fully vegetarian. YOu can eat meat provided you stick in limits for the day, but meat is so high in protein it really can make it a lot tougher to do that.
Cheating on LE is totally allowed, so even people who don't eat meat can occasionally cheat and have some now and then.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Yes I agree with atomic. I've had white chicken about three times while on LE. It's hard to fit it into your totals for the day but I was craving it so bad those couple times I did my best to fit it in. I went over on protein though the one time. I believe I had 56g for the day. But it was delicious and well worth it lol.
