I have been advised by my fertility consultant to eat a low carb high protein diet as it has been shown to help people with fertility problems. I am not overweight so was surprised to be advised this but have googled it and there does seem to be lots to back this up, possibly because low carb eating can help with hormonal problems.
The problem is I am a big carb eater. But I'm desperate to be pregnant so I want to give this a try. I wondered if anyone else had tried this for similar reasons and had success?
Also, I wondered if anyone could recommend websites or give me ideas for meals. I already eat eggs for breakfast and will carry on doing that as they do fill me up. I'm a bit more stuck with lunch and dinner as I tend to eat sandwiches, potatoes, pasta, rice based dishes etc. Is there a good website for easy ideas for a new low-carber (doesn't have to be no-carb i don't think).
And any ideas to curb a sweet tooth? I'm terrible for chocolate and eat it everyday. I think i will have to go cold turkey on that one :(
Thanks for any help you can give me.
