Well last night I had a few cocktails and then a yummy Japanese feast (mostly veggie) and then spent the rest of the evening, night and today being sick! Nice! No idea if it was something I ate or just that on LE I shouldn't have had three drinks, which normally would be fine. So my cheat kind of negated itself as none of the food stayed down! I lost four pounds in a day though which isn't good as like a few of you I've not got much to lose. I was hoping to lose about a pound a week as we're wanting to do LE for three months before TTC. So I'm thinking if I feel hungry later we might get a big fatty Domino's Pizza! Put those four pounds back on

Hi ladies, I posted this on another thread about swaying and glucose levels so I thought I might add it here in case it helps. I have 2 dd's and with both of them I was dieting and not eating past 5 pm and breakfast was around 9:30 am, so I'm pretty sure my blood sugar levels were pretty low. I never snacked and my only big meal of the day was lunch. Just thought this might help because I noticed that a lot of you are eating at 8 pm or later.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
As Atomic says though, there is nothing magical about fasting in any part of the day, you gotta do what works for you. Not snacking is a big part of the sway and so is having a long prolonged stretch of time. It's easiest for most people to do their daily 'fast' overnight and skip breakfast. Most of us might be eating in the evening but then not having anything the next day until lunch.
You gotta do what fits in your lifestyle too, and eating late can still sway pink. My mom for example had all daughters - she would only have coffee/milk in the mornings, skip breakfast, eat lunch, have dinner at around 7pm, and then snack ALL evening long. She would even snack at midnight watching tv! And she had girls.Last edited by LacePrincess; January 17th, 2015 at 11:08 PM.

I'm finding missing breakfast the hardest thing. Thanks for my tips on calories I think I may go go with commen sense. There is no way I would have time to weight everything. I find it hardest when we have relatives staying at our house, I end up cooking lots of nice things and then can't eat them!

Definitely go with what works and doesn't stress you out! The only reason to count calories is for weight control, most of the time to lose weight for a pink sway, or maintain if you are already borderline underweight. Common sense is a good thing.
Just keep an eye on the scale and that's good enough. And treats are ok too as long as it's not all the time. It's the general trend of things that matter.Me (38) and DH (38)

As for breakfast, that took me MONTHS to skip it entirely. It was really hard for me too! First I reduced what I ate at breakfast and more at lunch. Then coffee only for breakfast on non workout days. It wasn't until a few days ago that I found I can manage without breakfast entirely even before a workout, but it took me AGES to get there. Small steps!Me (38) and DH (38)

So yesterday's totals... Sodium still crazy high, but not as bad as day 1...
Day 2:
Breakfast: 1 hour after waking, 12 hours after late night snack
1 cup Tabouli, 1 cup coffee with 1/4 cup whole milk and 1 Tbsp sugar. Getting somewhat accustomed to the smaller dose of sugar in my coffee...
Lunch:
String cheese, Great Value Chewy Fiber Bar, 3/4 cup 1% milk
Dinner:
2 pieces of cornbread fortified with ground flax seed (1/2 Tbsp flax total), 1/2 cup sweet potatoes, 3/4 cup navy beans, 3/4 cup mixed greens, 3/4 cup 1% milk
Late night snack:
plain bagel, 2 Tbsp cream cheese spread, GV All Natural Strawberry Watermelon drink mix dissolved in bottled water.
Day 2 totals:
1770 calories
293 carbs
42 fat
56 protein
33 fiber
1964mg Potassium
3276mg Sodium
0 folic acid
15% RDA Zinc
37% RDA B12
18% RDA Vit E
119% RDA Calcium
81% RDA Magnesium - and this is WITH my supplement for muscle cramps and nursing aversion :/
19% folate total
Calorie breakdown 21% fat, 66% carbs, 13% protein. Still trying to figure out a good balance. Took a quiz in a magazine about "Are you fat sensitive or carb sensitive?" and it recommended a low fat diet for me... Add in the lower protein levels I'm aiming for for a pink sway, and it is naturally gonna put carbs higher. But 66% is a little higher than I would like.
Still trying to figure out the folate/folic acid thing. Debating taking 2 mag pills per day. Still need to up my water intake too. Potassium was just a hair under goal so feeling better about that.Happily married 7.5yrs - Mommy to
