just wanted to mention that it's impossible for me to keep up with the support threads so if you guys have specific q's please start a new thread and ask!
I did want to clarify one thing - I don't WANT you guys to stick to super bland diets. A large part of the reason I even made a new diet to start with was because people are torturing themselves for NO reason - you do not have to eat nothing but rice cakes and dry cranberries to get a girl.
You guys can ahve stir fries with sauce and jalepenos while swaying pink. The overall limits are what matter and you are going to be able to stick with diet a heck of a lot better if you are satisfied (at least as much as is possible!)!!! Questions??

Atomic, yes! I gave up on the bland. I have been keeping my protein and fats on the low side and my calories are always around 1500 or less and I have been exercising. Stopped watching my sodium as much. I have also chosen to nix all red meats and only do chicken a couple times a week at half a normal serving.
I am debating whether to include soda in my diet plans. I am so against diet soda, not sure if regular coke would even help my sway. I normally only drink water. Planning on including alcohol in the sway in the last couple weeks.

I don't think the sodium even sways. I kept it in the diet because it's possible to include it, that's the only reason. I think it's way easier to do LE wihout the sodium restriction and I got my daughter eating tons of it after getting a 4th boy when I was limiting it.
I have seen people get boys while drinking truly insane amounts of Crystal Light and other diet beverages. I'm not exaggerating, i think they should have been in an asylum. So I would not ever do anything beyond what you feel comfy with on that. I don't advise any more than the FDA claims is safe during pregnancy, which is 2-3 12-16 oz. servings per day. I got my girl without CL after my boy where I was drinking it (not a lot, but still)!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

For diet- I started tracking my calories and I think I was getting 2000-2500/day before. I have been aiming for 1500/day and doing well since AF ended. Typical day is:
7am 1cup almond milk
Eta-Calm magnesium drink either in AM after milk or PM before bed.
Lunch 11am-noonish I've been making a sandwich on oatmeal bread with only strawberry jelly, big cup of fresh strawberries & raspberries with a little Splenda, 1cup almond milk, rice Krispy treat.
About 4ish my energy drops low (I have an autoimmune disease) so I have been eating a snack of hard boiled egg whites only (throw away the nasty yokes!) or a yoplait fat free yogurt. I read a post where AS mentioned trying to eat either all carbs or all protein in each meal (instead of a mix of both) and have been trying to do that.
Dinner is usually about 7pm and I have been eating a huge plate of steamed broccoli (with can't believe it's not butter spray) and white rice. "Dessert" is eaten then too and I have more strawberries and a few milk chocolate Hershey's kisses, 1 cup of almond milk.
So far with this routine I'm falling bt 1500-1800cals and I still feel pretty good. Drinking Dasani water but miss my green tea SO BAD.me{33}dh{33}

Hi all. I am doing a trial run of the LE diet for the next few weeks. So I know what combinations of foods work and I won't be so stressed out about it when I am doing it for real and also to try and lose a few pounds before I go on hols in April.
I am easing my way in but also eating the same kind of foods as when I conceived my DD.
So yesterday:
I wake at 7 and had a cup of tea with a tsp of skim milk at 9am
Nothing then till 12 when I had 2 slimbo breads with 1tomato and 2slices of low low cheese. Velvet crunch cassava snacks and an aero chocolate mouse.
At 4 I had another cup of tea and a pop tart
Dinner at 6:30 was gnocchi sorrentina and a cookies and cream 2finger kit Kat
A lot of sweet things I know but I came in at
1353 calories
38g protein
35g fatDD Christmas 2010

So I use the MFP...I had a friend request to follow me on it. I am ignoring her! I am totally too embarrassed to share with someone what I am eating that doesn't understand the sway process.
Today I had two weight watchers red berried waffles and an apple sauce cup for lunch.
Dinner will be chicken tacos.

So glad I found this thread! I've been loosely on the LE diet for about a month now and have been pretty good on it...I think. I usually have a mini bagel with veggie cream cheese and cucumbers, Yoplait light and strawberries for lunch. I forgot my lunch today and bought a salad from the lunch lady. I think it was ok, but did have a tiny bit of chicken (which I haven't had in at least the last 3 weeks), carrot sticks, cucumber and half an egg white with balsamic; and 3 newton thins cranberry citrus oat.
Calories - 519/Carbs - 33/Fat - 15/Protein - 49/Sodium - 536/Sugar - 16
Was thinking of making some sort of pasta or rice dish with broccoli for dinner; rice krispy treat for dessert.Last edited by dreamingofpink14; February 6th, 2014 at 05:26 PM.

Ok yesterday was a bit of a wipe out but I didn't do too bad considering
10:30 tea and a pop tart. I had to head out so I figured eating something small would be better then muffins tempting me.
2:30 tomato soup with a ciabatta roll and a baby bel light
This is where it gets messy. I met with a friend for dinner and I had a thin crust, light on the cheese and loaded with veg pizza and 3 Lindt chocolate balls and diet coke
Totals for the day
Calories. 1850
Protein 52g
Fat 77g
