Having a really hard time giving up meat

[ladybug]

I still do some chicken....If I don't I find thats when I cheat....I do very low calories maybe 1200 per day and I am now losing weight slowly....I was 165 Jan 1st and now I am 135 so I hope the weight loss will help me get my girl....I think you will be find with a very small portion of chicken

So you don't think I need to get lower then my weight when I conceived my DS?

No just lossing some of the weight you have now.... Sounds like you are fairly skinny anyways so try not to go below 110. How tall are you?

[kaseybaby]

I am almost 5'5. 110 would be very small on me. I am already a size 2.

Be very careful then, don't loose to much. Try to stick to a low everything type diet but be careful of to much weight lose.

My mom was under 100lbs when she conceived me and she is 5'6 but she also didn't eat much during her pregs and we all suffer from food/envir allergies, asthma, bro has muscle issues, and younger bro has autism and adhd. I mom was always about 100-115 when she got pregnant and the most she would gain is 10lbs and she even ran everyday with younger bro and lost tons of weight.

Healthy weight = healthy babies Set a limit and be careful.

I think my limit is 114. I really don't feel comfortable with going any lower.

I have a lot of guilt with swaying as it is, so I know if I dropped too low and God forbid anything happened either during the pregnancy or after birth I would blame myself,

[purplepoet20]

I understand... 114 is a good goal!

I'm still eating chicken a few times a week. It's such a big part of the IG girl diet, and I've been a member of that site for years, so it's ingrained into me that it's ok to eat it. I just keep my portion very low and minimize all other protein those days (like milk and yogurt - those are always the things that tip me over the 40g limit).

My best friend is all about meat. She has GGB.

There are 2 ladies here at work that are vegetarian. One of them has GG and the other has BB.

This is really tough....I dont know how i am gonna do this diet. It's hard especially when you're not cooking for only you. My meals work around what my LO will eat...he's my main focus....forget DH or me lol

I was a vegeterian with DS1 and I think in some cases being vegeterian can be boy-friendly because when you do eat fish, you can end up having a very healthy, protein-rich diet (since you are more careful about eating healthy and getting your nutrients) with varieties of fruit, veggies, beans, nuts and fish, that´s what I ate + I was snacking all day fat, sugary things.

So if you eat a little chicken every now and then but eat low sodium, low fat, low cal, low nutrients I think your diet still sways pink a lot!

One of my sons best friend Adrian is a forth generation vegan (100% no meat or animal products)... they only eat fruits, veggies, beans, grains, and nuts. On the dad side there are only boys (I believe 8 total) and on the moms side she is the only girl but she was from a non vegan mom (odd ?) she has 6 halfbros. Sons Adrian friend is an only child for now but his mom is trying the sametimes as us because or cycles are the same. Adrian also has 16 cousins and 2 are girls (they were a FD sway many years ago) All the women in the family were either from vegan families or eating vegan for about 3 years before conceiving.
