I am going crazy on this diet during the 2ww. Is it more important to skip a meal than the type of foods you eat?

From what I've been told the diet shouldn't be hard. The foods you eat should be low fat, low protein and low sodium (although there is debate about whether salt is a factor) - most of all the food should be low nutrients. So for instance cucumber is fine but you need to take the skin off. And it's recommended you cut meat out of your diet, I think that's largely to do with it being high in protein and raising testosterone. You should avoid breakfast and avoid snacking. I go for meals at midday, 3pm and 7pm. In fact I put up what my sway aim is and am hoping for some feedback.
I don't know about when you're supposed to stop the diet with regard to days past ovulation... Just assumed would stop at BFP.

I am still a few days away from testing, but skipping breakfast is starting to become uncomfortable. I can't say I am having morning sickness, but I am definitely nauseous/uneasy. I didn't have this issue when I first started the diet.

My husband and I agreed to wait about another week to test. We don't like the uncertainty that a BFP or a BFN can bring this early. It's really not the foods that are a bother, it's skipping breakfast that is making me want to run to the bathroom. Maybe I should eat a hardy breakfast and skip lunch and a decent dinner. Any thoughts out there?

If you are feeling unwell I'd say that's your body telling you to eat.
If you are pregnant then you need to eat breakfast and if you're not then I shouldn't imagine having a few days off breakfast will have an effect when you consider you'll have another good few weeks before trying again.

I had a mini bagel with a little cream cheese. I am still uneasy. Hubby says it's my nervous/anxiety and I REALLY want to be pregnant. Sigh...

[Tree]

Well, and I know it's hard but try not to stress, that won't help you get pregnant. If you're not pregnant this month maybe go and get some reflexology or a nice massage.

Don't make yourself ill by skipping breakfast. I know I won't be skipping or I'll be more likely to pick during the day. So I'm going to have a sugarfree yogurt in the morning.

Thanks everyone! I am drinking decaf and a small bagel. I am realizing I am naseous if I have gone a while without eating. I had horrible ms with ds that I am not sure if this is an early sign because I really don't have any other symptoms other than cervical twinges and some cm that has slowed down but still very present. I'm trying to hold out until Monday to test.


Good luck ladies!
