    Zivic, yes protein at every meal and snack, Almonds are great for this. I was eating full fat dairy and taking pre natal which had my calcium in it.

    You can go on a high protein low carb kind of diet and lose some weight before your sway, then add back the carbs when you start. Dont starve yourself to lose weight just eat really healthy, and exercise.

    Do I take some protein along with fruits/vegs bcos they are carbs? If so, what proteins, maybe glass of yoghurt?

    How about beef jerky, is that source of nitrates as well?

    Eating smarter is going to be hard, because I'm naturally stupid
    Wow I have no idea how I missed this, I'm SO SORRY.

    Yes, fruits and veg contain carbs so when you're going for protein + carbs, you can have eggs or meat for protein with some fruit or veg or juice, and that way you get protein and carbs without getting a kazillion calories doing it.

    So rather than having to eat meat and potato and salad and juice and and nuts and dark chocolate and lemon water and then exploding LOL you can have just meat and juice, it's protein and carbs so it will keep your blood sugar good, without having to eat too many calories.

    I'm currently taking it bcos of bfing, should I continue during sway?
    I think full fat dairy is enough but if you wanted to take some to hedge your bets, that's ok. I would NOT take a megadose just in case the megadoses do sway pink somehow.

    about the beef jerky, the storebought kind does have nitrates, but you can make it yourself using soy sauce and worchestershire sauce. The thing I don't like about jerky is that it's a LOT of work to eat, a lot of chewing for not a lot of protein really. If you like it and can eat a good amount without breaking your teeth off, homemade is better than store bought.

    Yes, as long as you have some time for your body to catch up before starting yoru sway and you eat a good amount of protein while losing weight, you're golden!! (or blue!)

    Yes I do the same ALWAYS have protein with carb. for eg I have dates usually 3-5 accompanied with almonds.. Another thing which is really good for dairy I don't know if you would try but I love it .. Full fat yoghurt or Greek yoghurt with pieces of dates and pomegranates mmmmm that's usually my late night snack.. It has protein with your fruity carbs.. I'm trying to incorporate fruits and veg rather than bready carbs.. And try and grab as many nuts ( I mean the edible ones lol) like almonds are really good source of carbs and protein so you can snack on them alone. Or even Larabars I really like the fruit and nut roll it has walnuts,almonds dates in it .. It does seem hard at the beginning but now being on diet almost 2months it just comes naturally now

    You have to buy the Dream Membership for $12 a year. The money goes to support the site and keeping me "unemployed" so I can spend 4-6 hours a day doing this instead of having to have an actual job (yuk )

    So does yogurt not count as a protein? Or cheese/full fat milk?
