Comments? I was eating 1-3 yogurts a day, crystal light a few times, extra milk, and tried to do light on the salt. I would eat things sugar free and ate strawberries as much as I could stand it. No bananas ever, no orange juice, or apples. I never eat meat anyway. I would add equal to cranberry juice and drink that. My diet was so so. It was A LOT different than what I normally eat though. We bd though ovulation. I had no real cm though. I also had a few shots of rum the day before ovulation and the day of and chased it with a glass cranberry juice........ I would go as long as I could with out breakfast and then eat a yogurt, strawberries, or just a glass of milk or crystal light, a peanut butter and sugar free strawberry spread with whole wheat bread for lunch with a big glass of skim milk, and I would make green beans almost every night with whatever I made for dinner. Like I said I never eat meat anyway. A snack would be one of the allowed drinks, yogurt, pretzels, or rice cakes.
