Did you go through major changes on LE diet???

[wannagirl21]

So I have been on LE diet for about a month or so and I have broke out in Zits, I'm really tired and it's seemed to alter my cycles from 28 to 30 day's now. Has anyone expiernced this? just so I can make sure this is normal.

I haven't experienced any of those symptoms, but my skin is abnormally dry and I have been drinking A LOT of water and CL so it seems weird to me that my skin could be so so dry. Oh I am tired too, but I think that is from the lack of food

Good luck!

I just wanted to let you know that for some people, aspartame (in CL) can cause dry lips and skin. That will probably ease up once you're off the aspartame.

I feel tired and cranky on LE. I guess it's to be expected, we're trying to lower general condition/fertility and the habits we're taking on are (for most of us) VERY different to what we are used to. Otherwise we'd already have girls... right?

Good luck to both of you xx

Yes, it's normal. Lots of ladies have had the same issues with bad skin while on the diet.

As for your cycle changing, have you lost a lot of weight? Can you afford to? And are you taking any supplements?

[Thorz300]

I didn't know that about aspartame, its good to know. I normally am a sodium lover (probably why I have 3 boys) so this diet is rough on me, I miss my chips and salsa and raman noodles! Not to mention my extra salty popcorn, but to be honest I think I am starting to get past it because I cheated and took 1 bite of my DH french onion soup (my very fav) and almost couldn't stand how salty it was, so even if I do end up with DS4 maybe at least I will have learned how to lower my sodium intake!!!

Just FYI - If you're going to cheat, sodium is a good one!!

[Thorz300]

LOL well that was my first cheat of the day but it was my sons birthday and I ate a lot more cake than I would like to admit, but other than that I haven't had any cheats for 5 weeks and have dropped 10 lbs but my husband doesn't want me to lose anymore so my fingers are crossed, I have sticky right now since I think I am 2 DPO

[BeadinMom]

Can't wait to hear about your BFP, Thorz!! Crossing fingers for ya!!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the little man!!

[Thorz300]

Thanks!!! The 2ww is the worst!

My poor guy turned 4 but ended up having strep so couldn't really enjoy it, he doesn't like/eat cake anyway so he wanted me to still make it so he could get the birthday song and blow out the candles, then told the rest of us to enjoy his birthday cake.....I couldn't disappoint the poor sick kiddo!

[BeadinMom]

Exactly!!!! lol..

Poor guy!! Hope he's better soon...and that the rest of you escape it!!
