Skipping b/fast query... can I still have a cup of tea?

[atomic sagebrush]

Hey groovynae, I'm thinking of ttc starting around August.. Haven't received my plan yet, hopefully soon but I'm guessing I should start cutting down my meat intake at the least. I wonder how much the diet will be customized for the Aus product market? I'm sure we can help each other with suggestions. Have you made many changes to your diet/life yet?

Your plan is done and I believe it's posted now, but I did want to clarify that I don't do personalized diets but that I work with you in the custom forum (remember, you get coaching for 6 months too) to iron out the diet specifics using the foods that YOU like and are available to you. We soon realized that it would be impossible for me to make diet plans, it would take forever, cost a fortune, and require knowledge into worldwide food selection that is just impossible to have.

We have an Aussie forum and a thread called "Sheilas who want Sheilas" and I think people have posted quite a lot about food and stuff they used in that thread.

Hi Atomic sagebrush, I received my plan today-thankyou! Totally understand about not customising a specific plan for each individual...I'll have a look at the Sheilas who want sheilas thread for some Aus specific info.

Hi Sunbuny, congrats on your girl!! What did a typical days eating look like for you? Any particular products you would recommend? What do you think were the most important parts of your sway?

Hi Shell, I hope you're right but I actually don't know what I'm having yet. I'm only 6 weeks, 4 days. Still have a while to go before I find out...

But typically I would wake early, exercise for an hour, then have an instant coffee with skim milk. I might have another coffee at around 10. At lunch I'd generally have a white bread roll with cheese and salad and sometimes I'd add a vegetarian Pattie ( homemade ). Lots of coke zero. Usually another coffee at around 3pm and then something simple for dinner. I ate alot of plain pasta with butter, salt and pepper. Also gnocchi with a tomato based sauce. I'd still get take away weekly but stuck with vegetarian noodles. Hope this helps..

I completely quit tea whilst swaying. This was a massive change to my normal diet which is typically boy diet ( without realizing ).

I highly recommend my fitness pal app if you don't already have it. Takes the guess work out of monitoring protein, calories and fat intake. And you can scan products.

Oh sorry, I thought you already knew-my fingers are crossed for you!!

Your diet sounds good...how many calories were you having? So is a normal white roll okay to have? How long were you on the diet before you conceived? I'm nervous that because I'm older, I will take a while ttc and might be on the diet for 6 months or more..which I think would be HARD! And yes, I'm going to log todays food on my fitness pal to see how it all works.

I was eating around 1800 calories per day at the end of the diet including one serve of full fat dairy as advised by Atomic. I was losing too much weight (in my opinion) but this was probably also due to the amount of exercise I was doing. I've always like to exercise but never 60mins per day of cardio 6 times per week prior to the sway. It did take me longer to conceive this time around but I think this was more of a timing issue (we missed ovulation one month, were too far from ovulation another month etc).

I wish you all the best and am always to be a support if you need it. I know it can be tough going. For me the hardest thing was sticking to the exercise that often because I would have to wake really early to get it out of the way whilst my little boys were asleep, before work etc.

White bread ok on standars LE but should be limited or avoided on the alternate diets.

Remember - while so many of us feel very tense about TTC over the age of 35 and assume it will take forever, we actually find that the majority of gals who have had kiddos recently (within 3-5 years) and are not over 40, do still get pg quickly. EVen those of us over 40 have had quite good results.
