sharing diet/lifestyle!

[meoab]

Hi there ladies,

I would like to share my boy sway diet. Been reading a lot and it gets me overwhelmed sometimes so please do give feedback as I was away for a quite some time.

I have a 11 month old baby girl that doesn't breastfeed anymore since breastfeeding sways pink (in general). It has been three months since and I have gained more weight (elghh).

Diet

Mornings; 1)whole milk + nuts +granola that consists of nuts and raisins. Later on 2)either two brown breads with peanutbutter & banana OR eggs + mozzarella cheese on top+fresh spinach on top + avocado + a hot sauce and English tea with whole milk & honey.

Lunch; its a difficult one. either overleft dinner OR two french toasts + two different nuts + honey OR granola with fulll fat yoghurt with different kind of nuts.
Always drink a glass of Naked juice or English tea with whole milk & honey.
I must note that I spread my lunch since my days start at 5.30 in the morning and end 10/11 at night. Boiled eggs, lots of different nuts, dried fruit and dates are also part of my lunch. Making sure my fat tummy is filled and sugar level stable.

Dinner; Lamb meat cooked with onions, garlic and ginger.
Chicken meat cooked with onions, garlic, ginger and pepper.
Duck cooked with different kind of vegetables.
I always include either broccoli, spinach or kale + tomatoes, spring onions, red onions, avocados and loads of lemon to the salad.
If there is rice, it is rice biryani with lamb. Potatoes are cooked with onions and other vegetables. Every few day I make beans in tomato sauce with onions/okra's in tomato sauce with garlic / eggplant in tomato sauce with garlic.


We ALWAYS eat meat. Atleast 5 days a week.

^Drinks: Naked juice, Innocent juice, coconut, English tea with whole milk, Indian ginger tea + honey and green tea. Indian ginger tea: black tea boiled in a pan with ginger. Whole milk is added later on and I keep it boiled for another 15 minutes. Nope I am not Indian but love Asian food.
^Sauces: ketchup, mayo, oyster, peri peri.
^Snacks; nuts, nuts, nuts, dates, dried fruit, tea with milk, cheese.
^Workout: say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? lol. Used to workout. Now its casually doing some lifting. I really should start again.

I am not taking any fish oil. @ Atomic what do you think?

Any feedback or comments on my diet? What else should I include?

ps not sure if it is considered correct, but English is my third language. Sorry for the language errors.

Thank you so much for posting this, it is very helpful to other blue swayers.

Btw, so its fine if I dont take any fishoil?

I'ts totally up to you - I do tend to have people take it, but I certianly never did when I conceived my boys. If you're eating right, you don't need it anyway.

Hi meoab!

I love the idea of sharing diets! It's always helpful to get new ideas!

Your sway sounds excellent, as does your English!! Lamb and Duck sound yummy!

Dh and I have decided to put ttc on hold till this summer but I am still keeping with my "boy friendly" lifestyle which has just become the norm for me! Of course, when I actually start swaying I'll up my calories!

Breakfast: whole grain toast with avocado and eggs, side of fruit

Or an egg scramble with spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, Swiss cheese

Snack: slices of cheese, banana or mango, nuts, veggie sticks with homemade hummus

Lunch: sometimes leftovers especially if we had soup or chili previous night.


Or a bento box style lunch; hard boiled egg, apple slices and almond butter, sautéed veggies(sweet potato slices, broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower, green beans)

Dinner: chili

Soups with meat and veggies(tomato based)

Steak, sweet potatoes, cauliflower

Fajitas or tacos with lots of veggies!

Pesto encrusted Salmon(or halibut), quinoa, and veggies!


I usually have a piece of dark chocolate and a few almonds before bed(I'm also nursing right now and always starving before bed)


I have added 3-4 days a week of weight training and LOVE it!! I really love bodyfit by Amy videos on YouTube, I've found that her kettle bell workouts are my favorite! I really like that she has some prenatal workouts also so I can stick with her when I do concieve!

Nice menus ladies! I find it difficult to eat alot of meat and it also isn't so great environmentally speaking, so the HE diet has been a bit challenging for me. I've struggled with obesity most of my life and have a history of PCOS so I gain very quickly and have to keep an eye on my food at all times. I'll share my usual :

Breakfast: 2 cups of black tea with milk and cream, yes, both. lol, as well as a shake consisting of a cup of hot whole milk, a scoop of whey protein, cocoa, salt, gelatin and maca powder in a base of hot yerba mate tea. Its actually very tasty, and is more like hot chocolate than a shake haha. I have all of this in a span of 2 hours in the morning (tea, then shake, then tea again). I get up at 4:00AM though. It is so tough to eat that early. I also take Bvitamins, folate and potassium with my shake. I have tried eating solids and its very tough on my stomach so early. I don't start the solids until after 7AM.

I continue to eat every 2-3 hours from the following options in no specific order:
nuts- several handfulls per day
Hard cheddar cheese (I have been eating a large block per week)
1 whole avocado daily
Seeds(pumpkin & sunflower) - several handfuls per day
Full fat yogurt - 2 servings per day
Chicken or Lamb or Fish - it has been mostly chicken, chicken organs, feet and muscle meat for most of my sway. In the last 2 weeks I've had lamb every other day finally
Leafy greens (Kale, Spinach, Spring Mix) - 6-9 cups per day
Random hearty veggies like squashes and such - 1 serving per day
Nut & Seed Butter - 1-2 Tbsp per day
Peanut Butter - 1 Tbsp per day
Tomato Soup -1-5 times per week
Eggs - 1-3 per day
2L of mineral water consisting of himalayan salt, magnesium, potassium and other trace minerals
Wheat Grass Shots - 1-2 per day
coconut water - 11oz per day
Grapefruit Juice - 3 cups per day as of 5 days ago

I cook with either avocado oil, coconut oil, animal fat or butter and I do take supplements, but it isn't food so I'm not listing them I make GF muffins on most days which consist of almond flour, coconut flour, oil and a few other ingredients.

That's about it. When I list it, it seems so little, but I swear I eat all day long. I feel like a grazing cow these days. haha! My DD even said "mom, you seem to be eating every 5 minutes these days" lol I don't stuff myself, but I also don't allow for real hunger to set in.

I hope it's a good sway!

Hi there, I have vit D deficiency and taking one a day vitamine pill atm. It has 1000 iu. Should I increase it more and take some extra's on top?

[cosmosis]

It is going to depend on the kind of vitamin D as well as quality. Vitamin D is not like other vitamins, it works more like a hormone so proper supplementation and methods of producing it are required. Dr. Mercola is by far the best resource to help guide you on how to do that. This is just one of many of his articles on Vitamin D subject.

Taking Oral Vitamin D? Avoid Making This Serious Mistake

Hope it hepls. please do explore further information he has on the subject.

Usually your doc will give you an amount - I feel ill equipped telling people to take more than that since I am not a doctor.

What did they tell you when you had the test done?
