LE Diet Thread

[Lissastick]

If we are overweight by a good bit, can we really over do it until we get into a healthy weight range? That won't mess up my cycle, right? Like eating way under limits and exercising an hour a day 5 days a week? Just until I get to my recommended weight???

Atomic has said she can't always check the support threads, so I would post a separate thread for this if you want her input, Lissastick.

Personally, I don't think you should ever be eating way under limits to lose weight. You can mess up ovulation even if you still have some to lose, and you can really mess up your metabolism and end up making it even harder to lose weight if you make your body think it's starving (big difference between starvation and sending the signal resources aren't plentiful).

You don't need to be a certain weight to get a girl. Going to extremes will only hurt you in the long run. I remember you posted that you are recovering from an eating disorder. If swaying is really messing with your head maybe you should consider just swaying with a single attempt and exercise, and not worrying about the diet at all except to stay vegetarian (which is still a decent sway). Your health is more important than a sway diet!

Makes sense. Thanks for the response.

I don't even know if I want to continue TTC at the moment. It seems like I am going through my second chemical pregnancy in a row. I am emotionally raw and drained.

Oh no, I'm so sorry! It sounds like you really haven't had the easiest go of it so far. I really hope things improve, whatever you decide.

I'm not even sure it was a positive test now. A friend said she saw a line, but, my husband says he swears he couldn't see anything. A new test is negative and my period is starting to be full-on...I'm just going to pretend like nothing bad happened.

Yesterday I did well on the L.E. diet. I exercised on an empty stomach and didn't eat until 4pm (I wake up at like 1pm, though).

Yesterday I had chow mein noodles and 1 1/2 veggie egg rolls. And then homemade tortilla chips and cheese with hot sauce and that's it! I'm pretty sure I was under the limit, but, I think one or two days of that is ok.

I wasn't that hungry yesterday!
I think the exercising is helping me not to snack!

No, I don't want you guys going under the limits because the LE Diet is meant to be a safe pre-preganncy diet.

You can cut back as low as 1200-1500 cals but need that 40-50 g protein and 30-60 g fat because we are aiming at a safe food intake in preparation for pregnancy.

Most days I eat enough, and sometimes more than enough. But, recently, for one or two days, I'm under. I just don't understand how a couple of days being under will screw things up that bad. When most days I eat enough...

But I would welcome an explanation as to why I cannot go under even one or two days out of the week. I am here to learn!

So we are not supposed to eat carbs and protein in the same meal? A veggie burger (made from pea protein or rice and mushroom) on a whole wheat bun, is a no no?

One or two days is not a dealbreaker. BUT. What I find is that 1-2 days ends up being 3-4 or more and the whole point of this is to be safe before pregnancy. So please aim to hit the limits daily and then if something goes wrong on occasion, it's not going to be harmful to you.
