It does take a while to get your head around it all and I only feel like I've go the knack of it now - 3 months in! Mind, I don't cook like that every night, I tend to rely on Weightwatchers food like pasta sauces and Tikka Masala sauce, Phillidelphia cheese & hummus because the nutritional info is there plain for me and I don't have to think about it. PLEASE don't be eating plain rice and pasta everyday, you'll go mad and be far more likely to cheat. This diet isn't at all torturous but you do have to be prepared to carefully read the label of every food item that you pick up in the shops!
Not sure if it's ideal, but I found a Mexican smokey chipotle chile sauce (Wahaca range) in Morrisons yesterday. I stirred 2 teaspoons into some veggie rice and it was lovely with cheese (low-fat Pilgrims choice) on top. For me this diet's about COUNTING and reading labels! I can't believe that some people go all their adult lives calorie counting, if it wasn't for a bloody good purpose it'd drive me mad!

I hope he does sign you up soon as the member's diet section is invaluable. I used it a lot in the beginning, but obviously (I'm not complaining AS!
) there's a lot of American foods that we can't get here, so with some careful label-reading I've slowly built up a 'bank' of foods that I can buy in the UK. I love creating recipes for this diet (usually relevant for the UK with a lot of products) the challenge to make it interesting and varied is a good one - though not in a T-raising way

That is totally my shortcoming because I should have SOMETHING in the way of recipe books. :/

Thank you dreamofpink. I do need to be a bit more adventurous. I guess it's just sort of easier to stick to plainer foods, but I do need to experiment a bit. Thank you

what my goal is, is to have the LE Diet be more of a lifestyle and less of a torturous thing to struggle thru for 6 weeks before your sway. I'd like for people to be able to go onto an LE Diet with higher cals for months even before TTC and/or to stay on with ease for months while TTC. white rice and craisins is a recipe for cheating - we want something to live on, not suffer through white knuckled while on the verge of disaster every second!
