Australian Ladies - Girl Diet Products (brands etc)

[ReneeManly]

Good Morning, Just starting my gender sway :-) holding out for our first attempt in May when all my checked calendars point to girl, really struggling with my diet though has anyone else purchased the full gender dreaming kit to get the menu? Is it something you would recommend doing? Thanks :-)

Hi reneemanly. Just happened to come across your post and I'm in australia too. I purchased a personalised plan which included the 21 day meal plan but found I wasn't overly familiar with any of the food on it or wasn't something I'd normally eat. I used a nutritional tracker (myfitnesspal) and it didn't take long at all to work out meals that I'd often repeat. Happy to share some of the foods I was eating. Roast veggies with 1tbs olive oil and seasoning, asiana spring rolls, uncle bens mexican fried rice, linda mccartney cheese and leek plaits, borgs triangles spinach and ricotta, la zuppa vegetable minestrone soup and pumpkin soup, weight watchers vegetarian meals, birds eye steam fresh chickpea spinach corn pea pear couscous, on the menu vegetable lasange, woolworths select australian steak house chips, birds eye corn fritters, veggie delight sweet chilli and lime cakes. All these products I bought from woolworths I'd have bread with the rice or soup for lunch alot as it left me a good amount of fat and protein for dinner. Hope this helps!

I thought maybe we could use this to list Australian versions of the girl diet ingredients, and where to buy..

I got all my supplements from The Chemist Warehouse, except SP and LR which was from the vitamin shoppe. Refresh and Sylke from Chemist Warehouse aswell.

Equal tablets as sweetener with aspartame.

Lowest sodium bread i could find was Woolworth's Home Brand, but its a very dry bread. Next lowest i could find was Tip Top ONE.

Woolworth Own milk was the lowest sodium

SunRice rice crisps and Arnotts Cruskits are a good low everything stomach filler.

What other products do you girls buy?

Lassie1982 What do you put on your cruskits?

Thank you Pbn3 for your reply, would you mind if I stay in contact with you regularly? I agree its hard when you don't have the foods available or things you would usually eat and I am finding the diet very hard. :-/

[Pbn3]

No probs if you like I'll screenshot some of my days so you get an idea of what I was doing just take into account I drank alot of mccafe coffee (I love my coffee way too much to go without) BUT the calories of this would've been added as another meal (breakfast). I did take that into account though with my days totals. Also with alcohol I didn't drink with meals as advised, I drank whenever I felt like it which was mostly while prepping dinner give me a awhile and I'll post pics

Hi girls, I'm new to this forum and to the diet too. Pbn3 - thanks for the list of foods you posted! Just a quick question though, it seems to all be quite high in sodium.. does that matter with this diet?

Thanks!

[Pbn3]

They say sodium doesn't seem to sway much if at all. Sorry I just realised I didn't post any pics. Will do now just bear in mind I wasn't super strict. I concentrated more on staying within calorie, protien and fat limits more than anything. I said before I didn't drink alcohol with meals plus my mccafe coffee's/morning coffees could be considered a meal too.

Just thought instead of filling up this thread with screenshots I'll pm them to anyone who's interested. Remember its a guideline only and its all about stayimg in the limits. Pm me if you'd like some sent thru

Thanks for the screenshots Pbn3!

I think I'm doing a mix of IG and low everything... mainly low everything, but having lots of dairy (diet yoghurt, natural yoghurt, low fat ice cream), low sodium, low-ish potassium.

I don't add oil to my meals, so to make sure I get enough fat, I eat canned salmon and eggs, as well as chicken for protein. Is that bad..?

Renee, you have a custom forum and I am happy to go over and over all aspects of diet for you. That is what the coaching is for!

The only reason I mention specific products in the 21 day diet plans is just because it was easy to get the nutrient data. You guys should sub in any similar product available where you are at. You do not need to get hung up on the brands of foods, if it's a whole grain cracker for instance, just use a different whole grain cracker.
