    Yes, it does. That was an old-school swayer who did not want to do much dairy so I was illustrating that for her without mentioning the D word.

    Protein foods are: Meat, eggs, dairy, nuts, beans and legumes, and grains (esp. whole grains)

    The ONLY foods I don't think should really count for protein are fruit and veg. That is because the protein in them is rounded up (anything with a miniscule amount of protein, the government allows that to be rounded up to 1 or 2 but it's really so minimal that it does nothing) and additionally it's not complete meaning it's harder for your body to use.

    Some of the other protein foods (the non-animal ones like beans and grains) are also not complete but they are much better than the fruits and veg.

    Hi Atomic,
    I'm currently between babies and am loosely following an Australian wellness diet formulated by the scientific body the CSIRO. The jist of the diet per day is:
    100g protein lunch
    200g protein dinner
    2-3 serves low fat dairy
    2 serves fruit
    4 serves veg
    1 serve salad
    2 serves wholemeal bread.
    I'm wondering if this diet seems reasonable to follow prior to fully commencing a boy sway?
    I then plan to changing to full fat dairy when starting the HE diet properly and introducing snacks such as nuts. What do you recommended doing about the protein amount when going onto the HE diet given I'm already eating significant protein? Is there any other obvious changes you can see that would need to be made in going from this diet to the HE diet? Thanks

    I know you weren't asking me, but do you mean grams here like, a 100g piece of chicken? Or are you really meaning 300g, as in units, of protein? 300g is very, very high -- that's bodybuilding levels of high. That's a potentially dangerous level of protein a day for a non-body building or intensive exercise doing woman.

    There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. I do not advise anyone follow that kind of diet for swaying.

    It's fine to eat more than 90-120 g protein if you want but that is a HUGE amount of protein and may not be healthy.

    I also have concerns about how low fat that all is. Animal fats make boy babies and are actually proven to be beneficial in small amounts so I would lay off the skim dairy as it may actually reduce fertility.

    Thankyou Atomic. Will definately swap to full fat dairy closer to actually swaying.
    Yes to clarify the protein. The 100g protein for lunch recommendation refers to 100g piece of chicken (which has 27g of actual protein). So the 90-120g of protein that you are recommending is in amount of protein in the meat not the weight of the meat itself, is that correct? That makes much more sense.
    Will definately use fattier cuts of meat for swaying and incorporate eggs too. Are they the best animal fats?

    Oh excellent!!! I was like "how is that even possible unless you're Lou Ferrigno??"

    Meat, dairy, eggs are all good sources.

    IF you can do the diet without gaining tons of weight (people who are overweight should gain nothing, people who are normal weight should gain up to 3-5 lbs, those who are underweight should gain up to 10-15 lbs but no more than that) you can do it up to 12 weeks, but we have most blue swayers aim at starting at the 6 week point to prevent excess weight gain which causes tons of trouble for people and may even undermine your sway.
