Hi everyone, I'm new here from NSW Australia starting my first attempt in April and have just started on the LE diet. I am struggling big time! I am a Personal Trainer so this is not how I am used to eating AT ALL. What is everyone here eating? I am struggling with no snacking as I usually eat 6-7x per day with everything on the boy food list.

Hi FitBlonde, I'm from SA. I like to eat regular meals all day long too so it's been a struggle not to snack in between but I am starting to get used to eating in 2-3 meals as I've been pracitising the diet since the start of the year. I've been eating a lot of Yoplait Le Rice, English muffins with jam, crumpets with nimbin cheese and bagels with cream cheese (although I only eat half a bagel at a time as they're pretty big and have a lot of kj and protein). I hope that helps with some ideas on things to eat, I've been struggling but am gradually coming up with a list of things I like and can eat regularly.

Yes I found the diet very hard as well. I did 3 meals a day due to the amount of exercise (60min intense cardio + each day). If I'm not pg this month I will prob do it more loose next month by just doing low salt, 3 small meals of my choice and trying to eat more acid forming foods. Will continue the exercise, dh taking OLE and having my negative ion machine on.

Good luck!

Hi Ladies, first time posting. I've posted this in the Aussie food thread too. have 2 sons & I am trying to sway for a girl. Anyway, I have a bit of a moral dilemma. I’ve heard that anti-depressants all assist with swaying for a girl. I was on antidepressants last year & I still have some left, as well as some prescriptions I can fill. I am considering going back onto the antidepressants to assist with my sway. They didn’t actually work which is why I stopped taking them; that is I felt no different on them. They didn’t cause me to gain or lose any weight, they didn’t affect my sleep, they didn’t change anything. So I am not concerned about any personal side effects however, taking medication for something other than what it is intended for is a bit of a moral dilemma.

What are other’s thoughts?

Welcome PrimalMamma! I just thought I should share with you that I was on a very low dose of anti-depressants (Prozac) before falling pregnant for mild anxiety and I took them until O day, I am pregnant with a baby girl, but can't tell for sure the Prozac had anything to do with it. It is a bit of a moral dilemma but then life is made of choices and no one will judge you for yours, I for instance had Clomid for swaying, a big no no, BUT, I wanted to do all I could. Funny thing is, I had Clomid just one cycle and dropped it and then fell pregnant on the next cycle. No one can really tell if anything will make any difference when it comes to swaying, but we can only do what feels right for us. Good luck with your sway. x

Thank you aidensmum I think I will try taking it. Also, does anyone have a list of what my husband should take?

See my hubby takes anti depressants and apparently that sways a lot. He's not on them for swaying purposes only though. Only reason why I'm not taking them are due to weight gain

Hello... Again! Just wondering what other ladies do regarding HUNGER? I normally eat a Paleo diet (hence 2 boys) so this is a really different approach for me, other than I am sticking to gluten free as I am I tolerant. And I am constantly STARVING. Last night after being really "good" all day I ended up smashing an entire (gluten free) Vegetarian pizza from Dominos. Fail. I am just so insanely STARVING.

Hi girls, very new to all this swaying stuff!
With 2 beautiful boys already, We tried the shettles stuff with my last pregnancy and it took 6 months to conceive and ended in an early miscarriage

So last month we just didn't bother with any of it and I fell straight away. We had been talking about going to SART in Thailand and then I found out I was pregnant so that went out the window.

I'm pretty nervous not only because I miscarried the last baby, but because I really only want 3 children but I am desperate for a daughter and I have a strong feeling already this will be a 3rd boy.

I guess time will tell!
