Le diet causing short LP??

[XXforhubby]

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%.

That is why I have a serving of full fat yogurt with fruit for breakfast. I am 16-18% body fat too. I have managed to maintain my weight though, despite the normal fluctuations during a cycle. It has worked for me!

Yah been having ice cream too, don't need an excuse to have more ice cream!

I really don't want to gain weight, but I really wouldn't mind if my body composition shifted a bit. Cardio is supposed to cannibalize muscle but unless I'm running marathon training distances it never seems to happen for me. I'm not sure if it's my PCO tendencies that make it hard for me to dump muscle.

I was the same way at first when I began the to sway girl back in March. As time has gone on with adhering strictly to the diet, the cardio has made my muscles leaner. They are still very present, because I don't look skinny fat but leaner. I think that is the point. It will happen for you; give it a bit more time. Case in point, when friends come over and see our wedding picture we have hanging in our hallway, they always say to me, "whoa, you look so much leaner now, than you did back then!" I always smile inside, because I feel my sway is working!!!

GL to you!

Will have to carry on and see, I guess!

When I was a serious runner I was seriously lean - it wasn't that attractive, flat as a board front and back, LOL. That was extreme though, I don't think I'd want to get back there as it's too much to maintain my fertility.

Well hopefully won't have to be too long on this regime!

With that low a body fat, I would not even WORRY about your muscle mcass. SEriously, we don't even know that it matters, it's just a theory.

Lace I would not get lean now, please wait till after your HT go round because I worry if you are losing weight, your body will decide that now is not the time to get pregnant and pull the plug on any potential pregnancy. Please wait till after your transfer.

Eek that is good advice!! I will just maintain and eat balanced for now. I know that the clinic wants me to watch my IR so I shouldn't be loading up on sugar and simple carbs, but I will definitely not lose any weight. More healthy fats and protein.
