Pink Sway - questions

[Pink8081]

hi Atomic - sadly, I got my periods on CD35. this is the longest cycle ever for me. is this good length if we are TTC? I thought if I am ovulating late then this is good to have longer LP.

do I have to buy the plan? does it tell me which meals to eat?

thanks.

No, you already bought the plan, I was just going to send you the version I made for you but they posted it in the meantime.

The plan does not have meals in it. It's everything but meals, and then I help you with diet in your coaching forum on a daily basis. We found that me making people meals would have been too time consuming and I could only help a few people that way. This way, I can help lots of people and everyone ends up happy with their diets, since they can focus on the foods that they like rather than some things that I pick out for them!

where do I find the plan?

I just have to re-think everything now. I am going to continue with the exercise, I am doing one hour a day; walking outside or treadmill. I do think I am loosing weight.

here is what I am going stick with this month:

after waking up within the hour - I eat soaked almonds, handful.

coffee in the morning - I do end up eating a bar with it or cookies. however, I am limiting my portions now.

lunch around 11:30 or 12: broccoli, spinach with either beans or lentils and I add paneer (cottage cheese for protein). I don't add rice or bread with it. I also drink buttermilk made of organic milk yogurt.

around 3ish - handful of nuts, pumpkin seeds sometimes sunflower seeds

dinner is always a glass of milk (with little bit cinnamon, half a spoon sugarcane sugar)

sometimes for dinner I eat lentils or beans only without rice/bread.

I am now having hard time quitting cookies. like I know I should be eating but I end up eating cookies with milk at night and no dinner.

am I eating enough? do I need to change? please let me know.

thank you and where do I find the plan you mentioned?

[atomic sagebrush]

Agh I'm sorry I have someone whose user name is Pink1980 and I assumed you were the same people. I only just now realized you are two different people.

So I don't think you bought the plan, right?

[atomic sagebrush]

I need to know your totals for protein, fat, and calories. I can't tell anyone if they're eating enough without that.

[Pink8081]

Atomic - so I put together a excel table and added everything I eat through out the day.

IF I do not eat cookies at all in a day then my totals are:

Calories: 1198
Fat: 72g
Carbs: 89g
Protein: 55g

if I include cookies:

Calories: 1918
Fat: 108g
Carbs: 203g
Protein: 66g

now that I have a log I can keep these numbers seem higher specially if I eat cookies/bars. this is embarrassing

please help!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Are you counting the protein and fat in fruits and veg?

[Pink8081]

yes I did count protein and fats in veggies but do not eat much fruits.

[atomic sagebrush]

Ok. Veggies and fruit are free for protein and fat, and low carb veggies are totally free and unlimited for everything, even calories. So you need to recalculate your totals not including those things and then I'll be able to be of more help.

[Pink8081]

okay, after taking out veggies.

totals without cookies:

calories: 1160
fat: 71g
carbs: 82g
protein: 51g

totals with cookies:

calories: 1880
fat: 107g
carbs: 196g
protein: 63g

Thank you.
