Hi ladies -
Gathering all the le information before starting the diet in February.
My diet is very very big friendly - so I have lots of changes to make!
Can you give me examples of a typical le diet day? I’m from the UK

As atomic said, previous threads will have a ton of ideas! I personally *always* skip breakfast. It's like second nature at this point, the thought of eating anything before 2-3 p.m. tends to gross me out LOL. I try to make sure I'm not consuming any calories for at least 12 hrs between dinner & my first meal of the day.
As for lunch... I generally don't eat that either XD I'm usually in too much of a hurry. But salads are great, a light dressing is best. I personally love the already made asian salads. You can make a meal out of it by adding a little grilled chicken or a few hard boiled eggs - as long as you aren't going over your daily protein intake by doing so. Sandwiches are good, & easy too. Use white bread instead of multigrain though. Or wraps.
For dinner, I just hop on google & browse dinner recipes. I usually type in healthy or vegetarian as I try to avoid too much cheese, fried stuff, & red meat. Dinner tonight is gonna be pumpkin chili w/ fake meat (for soy intake). Our dinner last night was flautas w/ flour tortillas & the inside was pinto beans, onions, fake meat, corn & green chiles. No dairy. The night before that, my husband air fried tofu & tossed it in buffalo sauce over white rice.
So I'd say in a nutshell it's attempting to eat healthy, but not nutrient packed if that makes sense - avoid fried food, red meat, too many fruits/veggies, foods that are fortified w/ vitamins like breakfast cereal, multigrain stuff, etc.

It sounds like I don't eat meat at all now that I re-read that LOL. I do, I've just been trying to limit the amount of meat that we eat as a family. But we have chicken & turkey too, for sure. Those meats, as well as seafood, are good. I just personally can NOT eat seafood, of any kind (yes I'm weird ).

How to handle the munchies??!?!
I'm a snacker. My mom is too. My diet habits are super boy-friendly (I have a 2yr old son, so that makes sense). I'm doing okay with the LE, but I'm frequently hungry and it's hard not to graze all the time. (Plus reduced fat and protein make it hard to stay full)
What are your tricks?
Low cal popcorn is becoming my go to snack, but I need variety.

I would add in another meal. Go to 3, 4, or yes, even 5 meals (I hope it's obvious this is not the ideal-est situation) to avoid the all day grazing.
Even at 5 meals a day, you'll still have time in between those meals you're not eating. Still better than munching all day every day. Then it may be that once you adjust to meals you can cut back one and preferably two till you're at 3 meals.
Can you clarify what you mean by reduced fat and protein? Sometimes I find people are eating too little fat and protein which makes them hungrier than they need to be.

As far as the reduced fat/protein, I was previously eating a diet that was fairly low carb and higher overall calories, so naturally much higher protein. And add in exercise now I end up hungry. I used to drink a ton of work milk and yogurt before LE. I think I am within the window of fat/protein you recommend, but probably need to track more to be sure- supper is harder to calculate since I'm cooking a large meal.
I will try adding another mini-meal probably around 3pm
Thanks!

Even if you just add up one or two sample days it can give you peace of mind, because many times people are eating far less than they realize.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
