Rainbowflower/amari- so the raspberry leaf tea is good for the lining. Didn't understand if you said it was ok with saw palmetto and vitex!

I think the others already answered this for the most part but wanted to say Vitex + RLT is okay together! Never took SP but sounds like Mocha's got you covered w/her answer there...

ok RF thanks hun, another quickie........ question that is lol, am i right in thinking you can eat as much pasta as you want as long as you stay in your daily limits ???

If you can make it fit that's okay but try to get rice pasta or something w/out a lot of vitamins. A lot of pastas out there have extra nutrients in there so you want to find the lower nutrient ones (usually rice pasta works but check on the box!).

00TB do you mean like carbs ive just looked at my pasta and it says 29.6g carbs per 100g pasta is that too much ???

As of Saturday a.m., I went back to skipping breakkie but am trying to pull lunch in. I would like to eat my 1st meal at 12:00 but have to make it 11:00 b/c I’m in the car then. I got superstitious and was also struggling to put food in my tummy in the a.m. so I’ve reverted back. I also got really hungry at 7 when my last meal was 4ish. Hope this new plan will work out for me…

Yesterday:
A.M.
• 2 C. black tea w/splash of rice milk

11:00
• Green drink w/cran juice and loads of psyllium

3:00
• Sauteed leeks/mushrooms/shirataki noodles (the low cal ones w/basically nothing in them)/quark
• Whipped lite topping & strawberry jam on coco pops (those popped corn cakes which are 14 cals each)

6:45
• Froz raspberry/coconut water/psyllium husk smoothie
• Canned pumpkin/1/4 C. low fat plain yogurt/cinnamon/stevia/benefiber
• Trader Joe’s seaweed strips
• Ricemellow cream (vegan marshmallow crème)
• 1/3 C. Puffins cereal

Totals:
• Cals: 1,515
• Fat: 23
• Protein: 45
• Fiber: 77
• Sodium: 799

I also drink 4 C. Peppermint Tea and 2 C. RL tea along w/water throughout the day. I really struggled w/dinner as I kept trying to get enough cals in, hence the seaweed, ricemellow, cereal. I went a bit over on protein but I’m okay w/that…

[littlemissnaughty7]

the other things it states are fibre 1.7g, sodium trace, fat 0.7g, protein 4.6g, thats it,

I think someone was talking about Potassium in this thread (although it could have been in a different one...)...It's hard to really know how much we're actually getting as it's not included on labels usually but I'm pretty sure that eating the few cals I was in Dec., I was under my levels so I tried to drink coconut water to boost levels. I still try to do so from time to time (at 1400 - 1600 cals) b/c I want to make sure I have enough. Atomic doesn't believe it really sways and if it did, the levels would have to be off the charts to make a difference in swaying blue. 2500 - 3500 should be our target. Just wanted to add this in case someone was still questioning Potassium.

it doesnt say anything about vitamins on the packet,

I think a lot of them are "enriched" w/vitamins. If you see the word "enriched" I would tend to think it's got more vitamins in it. Mocha, isn't this what you've found?

[Mochagirl]

You know, honestly, I never was able to find regular pasta that didn't have all that added stuff. Last summer while swaying I only ate rice pasta, but this time around I was worried about my iron after the m/c so decided to eat regular pasta since it's fortified with iron. I figured there are far worse things I could be eating than fortified white pasta....

[littlemissnaughty7]

doesnt say enriched either i think i may stick to this pasta as the rice pasta i can find in a store in the uk states 80g carbs per 100g pasta !!!! and the one im using is 29.6g of carbs, big jump hey lol, mocha how many grams of pasta were you eating in one meal hun ???
