TTC Pink Food Thread - September

Hello

I was wondering about all the sweets listed in everyone's meals. I have been eating sweets, but we can have candy bars and chocolate??? WOWZA!!! I have been missing out!

What sweets are you eating???
Thank you!

I'm only eating cake + chocolate because I lose weight too fast without it (and I only had 10lbs to lose before becoming underweight when I started this diet), but from what I've read cake is also OK generally provided you stay within your nutrient limits


today:
lunch: Birds Eye mediterranean rice, chocolate brownie (well, this was 11am, I was out meeting up with friends in a cafe)
tea: leek, mushroom, courgette risotto with parm... followed by 2 WW choc slices with cream + raspberries

Me too, hh, I want to make sure I don't lose any weight so for me it works, plus all the girl mums said they ate chocolate, I try to stick to White chocolate as I read this was better.
No breakfast
Lunch pret avocado and herb wrap, 1/2 carrot cake, White chocolate
Snack 1/2 can full fat coke
Dinner wait rose mushroom ravioli, 2 meringues
I'm a bit over sodium but protein fine! Yummy day!!

Technically chocolate isn't allowed on the diet, but a lot of us decided to add it as an occasional treat when atomic said it really couldn't do much harm. Try to stick with milk chocolate and maybe not every day.

Any sweets are fine as long as you pay close attention to their sodium and protein content. Lots of candy is fine - I ate a lot of Sour Patch Kids and Mike & Ikes. I also ate tons of low fat ice cream and some cookies I found with low sodium content. Lots of us had luck with Weight Watchers products.

Watch out for gelitine too - I stuck to the 'ok for vegetarians' sweets!

this is what I'm thinking too, I know a lot of girl mums who ate lots of chocolate so if it was such a blue sway ingredient I'd not have expected that

Oh yes - I meant to say this too - lots of gummies contain lots of gelatine, so avoid those.

breakfast: none
lunch: 1 pitta pizza + some cucumber, 1/2 a Boost bar
tea: philli pasta, 2 WW choc slices with cream + raspberries

I'm feeling so full!

Rainbow, why were you so full???
Yesterday..
No breakfast
Lunch rice with mushroom, cucumber, lemon, olive oil
Snack skittles
Dinner out - big cheat!!! 2 glasses of wine, stuffed mushrooms, pasta with tomato and aubergine, ice cream -yum, yum!!! So nice to eat and and enjoy it with out feeling guilty!

[Mochagirl]

I agree - I'd be starving on as little food as you ate, rainbow!

I'm so happy you had a cheat night, swish! I found as I led up to my BFP I was eating too much for several days in a row - I think it was my body telling me it needed more food for the baby.
