Thanks atomic for your reply. I was looking for anyone else who may be ttc in the next few months for moral support! Also I’m a bit confused after reading your post below re. Whole grains and skim milk. I’ve switched to white bread etc such as bagel thins (I always used to eat wholegrain or seeded bread before) and I’m having skimmed milk as thought this was more pink friendly. My bmi currently is 21.8, no history of diabetes, diet is usually quite carb heavy anyway and menstrual cycle regular. Any advice in dos and donts? Should I follow the slow burn diet? If so can you give me some more info please? Thanks atomic

Our sway didn’t work for #3 & we had a little oops for #4 but we love them all to bits... not sure if we ever will but somehow hoping we might add blue to the crew, to complete our family, one day...
Fingers crossed for TTC #5 (again) for early 2024!

Hey Atomic,
thanks so much for taking the time
I'm tall and have always been skinny-ish and like sport. BMI is 20, just checked. No one ever had diabetes in our family. Always fell pregnant within a month or two of trying. Regarding weight - I can gain and lose some easily enough. I'm not really bothered about what I eat TBH and I'll follow whatever you say works best Boss I've tracked what I eat these last days like you explain in your essays and I am at around 1800-2000 kcal a day (depending on activity as also bike and walk several miles daily lugging kids/strollers etc), and 60g both protein and fat which I thought was fair (I would have eaten more normally, this was me cutting it off and then eating steamed zucchinis or whatnot). I also skipped breakfast and went 14 hours+ between dinner and lunch.
(re not getting worked up about what I eat- when I fell pregnant with DD for instance I would have small breakfasts or none and frequently ditch lunch because of work in the office and not be bothered. I put in the effort with all the supps and 9 fruit/veg a day and carbs and protein at every meal etc, though it was counterintuitive. So, just point the way. I've quit tea already lol
Thanks so much Atomic, I'll email you Please don't rush on my account, I am genuinely embarrassed about how much you've helped me already <3 God bless you and your family <3Happily married to DH

If you think you can stick with the Slow Burn version of the Low Everything Diet without losing too much weight, then yes I'd switch to a more modified version. We are clearly getting better results with the alternate diet. I know it seems counterintuitive but skim dairy seems to negatively impact blood sugar for quite a few people and high blood sugar can undermine an otherwise good pink sway (this would likely not be just from skim dairy in a person with normal insulin response, but for someone who was eating nothing but white bread, skim dairy, and gummy worms, that sort of thing, it might be too much.) I would honestly use the Slow Burn alternate LE Diet for everyone but many people cannot stick to it and many many more will see weight fly off and they do better on the standard.
So continue with whole grains, full fat dairy only (no skim dairy), boost protein and fat to 50-60 g each (from mostly vegetarian sources if possible) BUT because you're on this type of diet only as a preemptive measure, you can continue to have some sugary foods in moderation. This is the modified version that can work for people who don't need to do the full on Slow Burn alternate LE.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

TTC time is coming up for us -_- so nervous. Any last tips for BD pattern for me? I've more or less decided on one attempt after positive O test, and daily DTD till then with a condom. Anyone care to correct me? Atomic?
