Anyone dieting and TTC at the same time?

[firerabbit666]

I've been on a diet for 9 weeks now. I am probably only taking 1000-1400 ish calories a day not really counting.

Do you think I can TTC and diet at the same time, without making it more difficult to conceive? I plan to go back up to 2000 calories a day if I do become pregnant.

Any info would be great thanks

hi, i dont think it would be dangerous, as long as you are making sure you have a varied diet with lots of fruit and veg so that you are getting all the nutrients you need. x

I'm dieting too, well eating more healthily, I'm eating less calories but also eating more fruit and veg than I did, oh and smaller portions.
I've put on 4 stones since I moved in with my OH 3 and a half years ago.

My BF and I are also dieting and TTC - and there isn't anything wrong with it. You should, like you said, probably go up to 2000 cals minimum, but make sure ALL of your calories are worth it. Take in foods high in protein, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and don't waste any calories on anything unneccessary...as much as you can help anyways, I know its hard. I was getting extra hungry just around AF time, I can only imagine what it'll be like when eating for two...just need to make sure my snacking is on good things! Good luck to you.
