Hi I’m trying to get a dietician at the moment but am not having any luck. I want to go on the preconception diet as I have been with my partner 4 years and now we both feel we are ready for a baby. It would be nice to hear from you on what foods you are eating whilst on the diet so I can get some ideas. I have recently learned how to make crumpets and bread and soup. I am not recieving much help from any health proffessional at the moment and I would apprechiate any support you or anyone else could give me. Thank you.

hi there, im so glad i came across your blog. im also on the preconception diet. i got married in october 2008 and we decided to wait till after christmas and a planned holiday to florida in jan before we went to our dietitian to commence the pre conception regime. my phe levels were also 1300 at the start, and after 4 days on strict diet of 6 exchanges they had come down to 600. i was very excited at this quick drop. i did ok for the first 2 months but now things are all over the place. i seem to be sick alot – nothing serious, common cold, ear infections etc, but any stress on the body and being on antibiotics all effect my phe levels dramatically.i also went on a short holiday recently a\nd found it really hard to stick to diet. im currently on only 2 exchanges and i take 80 phlexy ten tablets per day.im really struggling at the minute and ned some inspiration. how you getting on? hope to hear from ytou soon!!
