LE Diet Thread

I think if it has sugar in then I wouldn't recommend it as it could make sugar levels higher all the time, can you find sugar free?

Ya I could get sugar free ones in the health shop ... Is that allowed then?

Yeah I think so because they won't raise sugar levels or give you amazing nutrients. I drink diet coke through the day and it stops me snacking

Hi everyone - long time lurker first time poster!! I'm 29 and I've got 2 little boys, still breastfeeding 11 month old, will TTC from November. I've tried to follow LE calorie/fat/protein restrictions for about 6 weeks, and have managed most days by a vegetarian diet and no breakfast. And I've lost 5kg (had lots to lose, down from 91 to 86, I'm 165cm). BUT it's such a massive change from my long time usual diet - eggs for breakfast, tuna for lunch and steak for dinner (protein on protein on protein...). And I feel like crap now!! No energy, and just moody and awful. Too tired to exercise. I'll see my doctor and make sure I'm not anaemic or anything. Do you think this is just normal for a switch to vego diet? TIA x

Hi Bepan, afraid to say that yes I felt awful when I started the diet too and so have others. Maybe you could slowly decrease meat until you feel better, take the first week or 2 to ease into it

Bepan can you give me more detail about what exactly you're eating??? We may be able to tweak this.

I've actually gone off meat now, the sight of steak or burgers (which my husband loves) makes me feel sick ... Weird!!! Today I had crackers with hummous and light Philadelphia, and dinner was a prawn cocktail wit a bagel and cream cheese, along with diet coke and a cappuccino throughout the day

My lunch was a very small portion of Moroccan cous cous. A bowl of rocket and tomoates - drizzled with balsamic and chilli oil. Had a few carrots and dipped them in hummous. Two chocolate biscuits. Diet coke. Dinner is halloumi salad! Surprise surprise!!

Ok I caved a little and had two choc biscuits and strawberries with some ice cream ... Still didn't go over my daily calories tho! :-)
