Brand sparkly (pink) new diet thread for GIRL sways!

[pinkflamingo]

It makes me laugh to see how we are all eating like picky toddlers! Fasting really takes my appetite away and I really haven't wanted much to eat, nor have I wanted to take time to prepare anything. I caved on cereal a bit, but I've stayed around 1200-1500 calories, and always under on sodium and potassium. I tend to roll "dessert" into dinner because I have a sweet tooth, and I sip water or Crystal Light throughout the day. It's been a stressful week but I am trying to phase out the sugar a bit more. I've lost 4 or 5 pounds in two weeks, yay for loose jeans!

Great thread! I've fallen off the wagon so I won't even post my recent diet but you all have inspired me to hop back on the wagon tomorrow! Love these ideas. Anyone else on the PCOS diet?

Hi

Currently eating pasta with veg for lunch. Not been that hungry today. Only had a coffee.

I must mention - i found an app on my Samsung Galaxy S6 - its amazing! Called S Health. I just cant deal with the 'My fitness app' - But this one seems to work great for me!

I have that app on my Samsung, i didn't know it was an option. Thanks!

I haven't started the LE Diet yet but I was browsing the web for vegetarian recipes and I came across the Hungry Girl's website and she has a ton of meatless recipes but they are also low fat as well. So you may need to use full fat cheeses and diary products to reach the limits for the diet. I'm not sure if the recipes are LE friendly but I think its worth looking into because some of them may work. I attached the link if anyone wants to look at the recipes.

Healthy

I know, my husband told me about it! I love it, use it every day. Its So easy to use.
AND - I didnt know this - but at the back of our Samsung - there is a scanning thing, next to the zoom thing - When you select to check your stress levels or heart rate you put your finger on the scanning button thing and that measures your stress or heart rate levels then allows you to record them for that day.. along with everything else. Im super impressed!

Hey all hope you had a super Easter weekend I've bought lots of different food this week but having a hard time convincing myself to actually eat any of it! This LE diet is harder than it looks! I don't even know if I am doing it right! And I have been eating Easter eggs today too �� Never going to manage this! Xx

I have also fallen off the wagon, oops. but back on it tomorrow.

ahorn586, thank you for the link!

I also have a Samsung, i will be checking out that app as i rarely use MFP

Hi ladies! This is my second sway with the LE diet ! I've accumulated a ton of meals/recipes to share. I will post them in a bit because it will be rather long!

I'm currently breastfeeding my sweet 4mo old DS3 (a sweet blessing to come from a failed girl sway). I have to stick to upper limits of everything and need to include a bit of poultry/pork in addition to vegetarian sources of protein. My limits are: 1700-1900 calories, 60-70g protein (only until he is 6mo and eating some solids then I can drop down to 40-50g), 40-50g fat while keeping saturated fat low.

I'm also doing the 60-70min of cardio 5-6 days a week followed by PiYo (a combo of Pilates and Yoga) for 20-30min 2-3 days a week after my cardio sessions.

I'm excited to sway again! I will try to post when I come up with a new meal to share, otherwise I'll drop by to check in. I can't post daily because it causes me to think of swaying too much and makes me obsess! Yep, I'm one of those boy moms ! Although I must say, breastfeeding and exercising is mellowing me out a ton!!

I'll post my meals and you can PM me for recipes. I have an awesome chicken noodle soup that only has 13g of protein for 2 bowls!!!

Oh and I use the MFP app. It's SO much better than the website! You can scan barcodes and have all the info for your item without having to do math! Plus, it keeps track of your exercise and steps too!
