    Review my current diet plan :)

    ok so...

    7amwake up and have a cup of tea (3 sugars) 12g sugar give or take and a i have my dark chocolate and strawberry centre mini sweet from advent calender (abotut 10-20g)
    10am have 2 slices of toast, 1 with jam on 1 with butter and have a glass of full fat fanta with it
    12pm ill start cooking main meal, ill typically either have fish fingers and baked beans or chicken with baked beans etc... with a glass of cranberry juice
    4pm ill have a packet of buttons and ice cream and waffers (this is my favourite part of the day!! hahah)

    then ill not eat till morning.

    Thruout the day i drink diet lemonade not a ounce of sugar all artificial sweeteners

    Vitamin wise my daily stuff seems to be...
    80mg Vit C (from cranberry juice alone)
    0.75 Vit D
    75.3 Vit A
    1mg Vit E
    Omega 3 0.31g
    Omega 6 1.2g

    i aim for a minimum of 1500 calories to 1800
    protein i aim 40-50g
    Fat 30-60g
    I typically meet this daily, no massive problems if anything struggle with calories i might add 1 or 2 chocolate bars after main meal or a extra glass of full fat fanta...

    My PH hoovers around 4-5

    My biggest worry is the Vitamin D etc all found in the butter i add to toast and i have a slight concern over vitamin c having from cranberry juice, however have read somewhere vitamin C acidifies your body anyway..

    You do not need to track vitamins, just calories, fat, and protein. That's it. You'll drive yourself insane tracking anything else and it isn't necessary anyway.

    The whole vitamin C acidifying your body and swaying pink has been debunked. Don't worry about pH either. Our results for pink only improved when we dropped that as a tactic.

    Any reason you're eating so much chocolate and other sweets? I know you told me you enjoy them (I do too!) but you may want to dial it back a bit. I'm worried that your diet is overall too poor because while you're eating things like meat and beans, the majority of your diet is sugar.

    Drop the tea. Coffee is way pinker. I would also drop the cranberry juice. It doesn't help sway pink and if anything may sway blue.

    As I stated in one of your posts yesterday, do not worry about the vitamin D in the butter. ALL foods contain nutrients and many have vitamin D in them. An amount that small will not harm your sway. The concern with vit D is people taking it in pill form in large doses when they don't even have a deficiency. DO NOT worry about nutrients in foods. You NEED some nutrients to get and stay pregnant. Also the butter you said you're eating is mostly vegetable oils which we've found are better for pink anyway.

    Good job on sticking within LE limits.

    Hopefully Atomic will add in her two cents but I know she's a busy lady.

    It's okay to not like coffee but I would skip the tea altogether. It may be too blue friendly.

    we don't know, but it is what our results seem to indicate.

    I got 4 boys drinking tea and my girl with coffee. Not a proven thing, but it keeps happening over and over again and since no one needs tea to survive, I think it's jsut a sensible switch to make

    Tea is not ok. We have overwhelmingly blue results with tea. I do not know why, just that it's too strong a trend to ignore.

    And by this I mean NOT that "atomic tells people to drink tea for boys and then they do but they're swaying anyway so it probably isn't tea." I mean that people doing otherwise good PINK sways are getting boys when they stick with tea and it has happened often enough (including to me myself) that I simply have to believe there is something to it.

    Plus I had noticed this from the very, very beginnning - one of the first things about the old school swaying that made no sense to me is that coffee supposedly swayed blue, but literally everyone I know IRL who drinks tons of coffee have all girls, plus then the majority of blue swayers who showed up back on Ingender when I was on there kept saying "but I drink tons of coffee already, are you ~sure~ it sways blue" and it did not ring at all true to me.

    Since we started using coffee for pink we've gotten great results with it.

    Thanks for this
    so while sticking to the limits of LE is there specific foods i should actively try and eat and on same stretch actively try and avoid?
    examples of what my understanding is ...
    AVOID:
    Bananas,
    Salt,
    Potatoes,
    Fortified vitamins,
    Red meat,
    Bacon / Sausage,
    Dark chocolate,
    now Tea

    TRY TO EAT
    chicken/white meat
    sugar? haha tho clearly i do this enough anyway -_-
    not really sure to be honest what i should be actively trying to eat...

    Keep feeling im messing up sway .. like one minute i think i have it down next im doing this wrong etc... frustrating!

    That is the mineral balancing diets and NOT LE Diet. Some people try to blend the diets together but I assure you you don't need to give up potatoes or salt, I ate scads of them and got a daughter.

    The potassium foods, like bananas and potatoes, can actually be very helpful on LE since it's actually hard to get enough potassium on that diet sometimes. YOu need at least 2500 mg potassium daily or you can die.

    Salt - most people have totally given up on this and our results have only gone up.

    You do not need to avoid those things on LE Diet (other than fortified foods and vitamins)

    We do limit/avoid red meat because it has a lot of nutrients in it (but we also limit chicken too!)

    Tea is not a food, it acts like a supplement really.

    Dark chocolate is probably not that big a deal but when you have the option white or milk choc is best

    There are no truly forbidden foods on LE Diet. It is all about the limits. You can have freedom in those limits to eat mostly what you want to, although some foods make it easier than others. The "magic food" approach did not work - it's all about your overall diet as a whole and not this food or that food.

    Thanks so much i think its because i have been looking on the internet and some old styles have come up to check tho... last thing i do promise...

    Would fish fingers with omega 3 in actually help sway or be a neutral ok in limits food?
    Does red meat boost totesterone (this is what i heared) i have been aboiding red meats and going for white based on this.. i love meat!! Kinda annoying i do tbh
    But basically if i am ganna have meat i am best to have white?
