Would it be ok if

[Prayingforagirl67]

I dont start off back on my diet strictly until next week? I just realized I have 14 weeks until we start to try again.
Ive been on the diet since end of August and off it for about a month (while pregnant and a little after my miscarriage) Last week was a total bust for me also, even though I told myself I was gonna get back on track. I just feel so tired of the diet and tracking everything (I’m being a baby about it lol)

It's fine! Start whenever you feel ready. You'd still have 12+ weeks on diet plus all the time you spent on it before conceiving.

What about the diet are you tired of? Maybe there's something I can help you with.

It's fine! Don't even worry about it.

yes hit us up here! Usually when people are really struggling on diet they're overthinking things so much they're making themself miserable eating way more restrictively than is necessary!

I feel like I restrict led myself so much prior to conceiving that I’m just ravenous all the time. I have a hard time cutting out things like pasta and pizza, more so recently then before, I’d do perfect on the regular LE diet even though I know it wouldn’t benefit me, I’m definitely just being a baby about it and need to get back on track with my diet. I let myself slide because I have more time before ttc again. I just don’t want to let myself get too far off track!

Right but remember, we were having you do PCOS-type diet as a preemptive strike, just in case, and we don't even know that you need to do it. You don't have to do it as "perfectly" as someone without full blown PCO does.

You can still have pizza BTW - whole grain crust, girl! There's also things like zucchini (courgette) and cauliflower crusts, although I've never tried them. For pasta, u can use spaghetti squash, half-pasta mixed with half-cauliflower, or miracle noodles (konjac) instead. Or whole grain pasta, although I'd rather have bamboo stuck under my fingernails than eat whole grain pasta that stuff is rank LOL.

If you're hungry on your LE Diet, eat more. There is no law that says you have to be starving and miserable on LE Diet. It's meant to be pretty easy to stick with!!!

I really think I just deprived myself tooo much, I wasn’t eating enough before, 1000-1200 calories more often then not, it was definitely my own fault for doing that. I thought I’d get pregnant right away and then just start eating “normally” while I was pregnant. But things didn’t go how I thought so I’m just going to eat how I should have been eating all along. I should have been eating the way the PCOS diet said to and not under eating! Lol

I love all of the things you listed too, I need to meal prep, I think that would make things much easier, my son is a super picky eater and so is my husband, by the time I’m done preparing their food I’ve just been saying the hell with it and eating what they have, which is not PCOS diet friendly!

I don’t know if it was hormones or what but I’ve had no self control what so ever this last month, I’ve just been eating what I wanted and not even looking back! I definitely feel better and determined to get back on the diet, but the right way so I don’t totally crash and burn! Especially if I can’t get pregnant right away and end up needing to be on the diet longer than I “think” I will be.


I actually also found a frozen pre made cauliflower crust pizza this weekend! I’m going to give it a shot since pizza and pasta are my total weaknesses! (And it’s super quick and easy)

I’m just hoping I didn’t undo all the progress I made in the 4 months on the diet in the 1 month I’ve been off

No that's not how these sway diets work! Just regroup when you can and get back on the horse.

Thank you atomic, I’m back on track today. I upped my calories for 1500 for the day and already feel so much better.

I’m having baby fever and am hoping to have a chat with my husband about trying a little earlier then we planned, since I’ve only been off the diet for a little over a month (if him and I are on the same page of trying earlier) would you say it would be ok or think it’d be ok to start trying in April/early May rather then early June? Or should I just wait on go the full 12 weeks back on the diet?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes I do! Absolutely!
