Le diet causing short LP??

[LacePrincess]

Thanks Adia!

I'm sooooo not a fan of those gluten free products. We try to make everything scratch, and I do bake my own bread too, so I don't use too many prepackaged foods.

I LOOOOOVE oatmeal but alas it's a no-no for a girl sway.

I don't really think I need to go too crazy cutting it ALL out, just less. Even going back to more chinese style eating will help as there's very little wheat products in chinese foods. I do love dumplings for example and dim sum wrappers are all usually rice based. And there's LOTS of noodle choices that are gluten free.

Are you using corn chips? Or potato chips?

We lived in Asia for years and the rice based products were so much easier to work with. I am kinda picky, but also a creature of habit, so I eat Tostitos lime chips and Pringles.

DH found some brown rice chips and black bean chips that I LOVE! Overall, I have just learned to live without it. Even thought everyone in this house eats bread, pasta, etc it doesn't bother me anymore. When we have lasagna or spaghetti I just pour sauce and meatballs over cottage cheese or over vegetables.

I have to admit, swaying for a boy is a lot easier when it come to options than swaying for a girl!! But I was a natural girl swayer 3 times over so it was time for a change.

Good luck sweetie, you'll figure it out...and hopefully get that GIRL!

LOL I'm not a fan of rice crackers. Or rice chips. Or rice cookies.

I do like those shrimp chips though, gotta hit the asian supermarket again I'm sure there are lots of options there.

I was NEVER a big pasta person because, well, I got fat on pasta sooooo easily. My PCO/IR tendencies again. So no biggie to give that up. Bread is harder!

I do love noodles though, so I have lots of ideas. Thank goodness salt isn't a sway factor because I'd DIE without salt in asian foods! LMAO! Bad enough I have to cut down on my sugar intake (because of IR, not because of sway).

[Adia]

I had IR too...I have PCOS too. I can swear, once you give up sugar for a while the cravings go way down.
Well, maybe once I was swaying boy and ate better the cravings went way down. But I am usually a sugar fiend too! Giving it up is no fun!

Agreed, salt is critical in Asian food!

My totals should all be fine and the Clomid is actually because I have a short lp (9 days) to begin with! Can someone link me to atomics fertility diet please? Tried searching but I'm terrible at it! I've actually eaten more eggs, chicken etc this past month due to holidays so will be interesting to see how this months pans out!

I dated a gluten free guy for years and I'm a huge cook, always make things from scratch and love big projects like traditional lasagne, baklava, croissants etc. My favourite thing is to cook for those I love, so I got very into GF cooking and baking. So if you're up to making things from scratch and experimenting you can make things that taste amazing and have good texture. In fact the best brownies I've ever made are GF!

It's about 5 from the top of that thread I linked to.

Remember the ol' 80-20 rule...you get 80% of the results from 20% of the effort and in order to get that final 20%, you have to shell out 80% of the effort. Even just cutting back on gluten may still really help. Thanks Adia for lots of great tips.

As for me, I like to eat extra gluten. I think it gives me super human abilities.

[LacePrincess]

Well I'm doing something right.....managed to drop a few pounds the past few days.

I think I should up my fats a bit though, more full fat dairy. I do worry that I'm risking being too lean with bodyfat around 16-18%.
