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

So good to know about the sauce! Thanks M I'm seriously dying to know if you're pregnant! LOL! If you are, will you tell hubby when he gets home? Fx'd for you!!!

Hey DM...I'm still hoping for a BFN for you. Send all your BFP dust my way!!

I just had the sauce for lunch today, and I've gotta say it's very yummy. It does have some onion and garlic in it, but atomic said that's ok as long as it's not the primary ingredient. They've done a good job flavouring it veggies, herbs and spices so you don't even notice there's no salt! I are mine on some of those shirataki noodles with just a dusting of this fake parmesan I found with 1/3 the protein and half the sodium of my regular reggiano, so it was a guilt-free lunch and I still have plenty of sodium and protein in my daily budget for a yummy supper.

Wow, pp...that's a lot of rice! You must be getting very sick of it! Good for you for being so strict, though.

I love it so much. It is wonderful. Can't imagine a day without it (we need a puking smilie) I am trying the poor asian farm family thing just until after the egg is fertilized. I am thinking of adding 6 low sodium rice cakes each day as well.

Ootb, sorry you're feeling rubbish but it's a good sign of a healthy bean!! Lol about the food you're eating, if that is what I fancy when pregnant I'm on to cry!!
Mocha and indira, still got my fx for you two!
Dm, I think you'll be fine this month, we'll all take your bfp dust!!
Zani, seriously impressed with your will power, well done!
I'm starting dtd tonight, it's cd 12 for me and I'm hoping I'll ov on cd 18 as I used to but we'll see!
Really stressing about the weight now, saw my mum's bf today and haven't seen her for a while, she commented on my weight and quizzed me about what's going on, am I stressed/worried? I knew she'd report back to my mum and she did, now mum's set on feeding me up on hols so I have no idea how I'll even be able to skip breakfast let alone eat low cal! Wish it was over!!

swish - everyone in my life is starting to worry about me as well. My mom knows about the diet, but that just makes her worry more! All my friends are used to me being a robust girl with a HUGE appetite, so watching me pick at my food and fade away before their eyes makes them all think something is seriously wrong with me.

Mwa! Thank you

Swish and Mocha- I really cant even imagine being in your shoes... having everyone questioning etc. You both have really gone all out on this diet. I really hope your BFP's are right around the corner

Well, duh - I just went back and actually read the posts instead of skimming them, and now it's clear as a bell. Sorry I got so confused! I guess I have pregnancy on the brain!

mis2ninos - rice pasta is gluten free pasta made with rice instead of flour. You can find it at most major grocery stores in the health food section, or you could get it at any health food store. It has about half the protein of regular pasta, so a lot of us started eating it to help us keep under 40g of protein per day without starving ourselves.

Thank you!! This is super good to know!
