So how long am I supposed to be going between meals? How many hours?

And why do we have to be on the diet for a long time in order for it to be more effective? I would think that by doing it hardcore around the time of ovulation and maybe a week before would have the same effect?

I need to be enlightened!

Overnight fast of 12-16 hours, so 12-15 hours from last meal until the first meal of the day. Between meals, basically as long as you can. Obviously if you need 3 meals two of them will be closer together. The main thing is no snacking and a long overnight fast.

It takes time for the changes we are making to our body to register that maternal condition has been lowered. Both on this site and with the Trivers Willard Hypothesis, 12 weeks on the diet is the sweet spot.

If it only took a week of hardcore dieting, the whole human race would have long died out and everyone would have their desired gender. When we are changing our environment, we have to do so slowly to keep ovulation still going while at the same time signaling to our bodies that "times are tough".

Well. I haven't been doing it for long enough so I guess my efforts are wasted. Sigh. I keep hoping that being a vegetarian will push me over to where I want to go! At this point I am just sending out intentions into the universe. Haha!

If you've been vegetarian for awhile, that would count! I would TTC and just work on limiting snacks.

I, for example, used to eat a lot of meat and did big time while I was pregnant. Even though I had my DS3 7.5 months ago, I have to be more strict than you. There are loads more nutrients in meats that sway blue much more than any healthy vegetarian meals have.

You are more set for pink than you realize I would bet!

That is so good to hear! I have been a strict vegetarian (no meat at all) for over a year now! But the snacking is just my potential downfall.

You have been so imformative and encouraging! I really appreciate it, XXforhubby [emoji8]

[emoji8] back atcha!!

This isn't my first swaying rodeo. I swayed pink when trying last time and ended up with my sweet DS3. I was my worst enemy last time. This time, I'm doing what has proven to work for most of the people most of the time- LE diet, exercise, one attempt via BDing every 4 days, coffee, alcohol, and breastfeeding with close age gap to top it off. That's it. If it doesn't work this time, then I'll be at peace knowing I wasn't my undoing!

GL to you!

Our stats show that this isn't the case. no one knows why. We speculate about the reasons if you'd like me to, but it's just that we have not had good results with the "strict 2-4 weeks" approach and have had with anything longer than 12 weeks.

This doesn't mean that what you've done has been wasted, because for all we know, our odds would ahve been even worse among the 2-4 week dieters had they not done as much as they did.

Above all else I want you to do what works for YOU. There is no magic schedule to follow, you're just trying to extend that time when you're not eating a little. Some people may prefer to do it one way, others a different way, and it will really help you stick with it if you allow yourself some flexibility on this.
