Most of our husbands won't change diet and we have found that when we ask them to do too much, they end up rebelling and won't do anything.
It is OUR diet that matters most, because we are the ones who have to be pregnant for 9 months and then breastfeed and raise a baby for another 3-5 years in our environment at minimum after that. Men's diets probably just don't matter that much because evolutionarily speaking they don't have to stick around and raise the little ones.
What we generally do is have hubby give up red meat if he's willing and maybe cut back on healthy fats some, OR cut out all meat if he's willing, or even go fully vegan. VEry, very few guys have been willing to go that far. He does NOT need to do the full LE Diet and in fact shouldn't since that is too little food for men. If he won't do those things, you can try giving him soy foods or milk daily up to 48 oz of the stuff. This is not right for all guys - any guy with lower testosterone, poor sperm count/quality, thyroid problems, allergies, etc will not be able to do the soy and that's fine.
Honestly, the two things that are proven to sway in hubbies are smoking and jogging/biking. Those things have been proven to sway pink in studies. So even if he won't do diet, and most of our hubbies wouldn't, if he does those things it can still help!

Thanks so much Atomic!!
One more question, my husband socially does weights with a friend. Is it still ok to do weights once a week but focus on cardio other days?
Will doing weights once a week really hurt our chances?
He’s keen to cut red meat and have some soy.

Oh I just found out there’s a cardio option at the gym he goes to with his friend so he said he can choose that one. Also we have a spa, we can have a spa before BD.
I’m just wondering is there a thread that shows me the type of foods I should be eating. I’m fine to have a calorie limit of 1500 and keep within protein and fat % limits. Avoiding red meat, tomatoes, potatoes Plus sodium/potassium limits. But what actual foods should I focus on?

Your husband does not need to totally switch to cardio. That's mostly for you. Once a week weight training will not hurt anything.
There are no magic foods. You can have ALL foods within limits on LE Diet. You DO NOT need to cut out tomatoes and potatoes. That is the mineral diets and NOT LE Diet and in fact you may NEED those foods to be sure your body has enough potassium to function. You need at minimum 2500 mg potassium a day or you can DIE. I have a full explanation of why that is here in this thread. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...s-edition.html
In the Dream Members forum there is a thread where I go through and rate a bunch of foods from A-D (because there are no forbidden foods on LE Diet, you can have everything, just that some things are better than others) so you may find that helpful if you end up getting a DM.
