@Twingirls, it was lumpy. I make wheat by stirring the flour into cold water, putting on heat, letting it thicken well, then pour in some boiling water and cover to cook. I didn't know I could make amala like that. I always thought it had to be poured into boiling water o. I will try it my way and let you know. Thank you.

Per the croaker, you can go ahead. I recommended the other 2 because of higher iron content, but reading deeper now, I see that they are higher by only 1%.

Laffs in spanish, I dint see it ooo. I really need d pt

Was gonna laugh in pidgin english @Dreams and Amala and say "Ȋ̝̊̅ pass u there" in sing song but since onyinyechika has laughed in spanish Ȋ̝̊̅ reserve my local laugh.

Feeling so good dt Ȋ̝̊̅ pass u there Oº°˚˚°ºh!

Dreams there was wahala wt d apple oatmeal Oº°˚˚°ºh! Do u know dt Ȋ̝̊̅ hv never really looked at the package instructions for making d quaker oats? Whn Ȋ̝̊̅ got to dt part Ȋ̝̊̅ started to sweat.

No be small matter Oº°˚˚°ºh! Ȋ̝̊̅ usually just put d oats into briskly boiling water leave for a few mins and add sugar and milk b4 eating wt any other thing. Walahi! See confusion. Pls tell me u did not mean d package instruction on d regular quaker oats can.

By d way, at dt point DH laugh nearly die, thinking it means Ȋ̝̊̅ am giving up. SMH it was not funny at all!

Lol@Lizzy. Na me u dey laugh abi? Ok o. Abeg, u pass me there, no contest.

Yes, it's the directions on the regular quaker oats o. You know what, make your apple mixture first. Make your oats the way you usually do, but don't add anything. When the oats are ready, add the milk and the apple mixture. Put it back on heat for like 1 minute or 2. Ur dh was laughing at you? I'm sure it was a laugh of relief. Reload and make it again for him. If I can, I will post a step by step tomorrow.

@Dreams, Thanks jor!

Decided to address this here too, for those of us who might not know the benefit of eating this way

Ok, let me try. This diet is not low fat, but it is low in BAD cholesterol. Most people don't know that there are 2 types of cholesterol:the bad and the good, ie HDL and LDL. In fact, high cholesterol levels are one of the leading causes of unexplained infertility. Also, if you've TTC for 2 years (for example), and cause of infertility is unknown or unexplained, I think it's time to change your food intake. That may well be the stumbling block.

Intact, apart from the occasional high vitamin A levels in the diet, the parsley and pineapple, this meal plan is for everyone, and as the recipes come up, the reasoning behind their inclusion in the diet will be made clear. If you look at the lists of foods that are listed for women who have endo, fibroids or pcos, you will find that NOT every meal has its nutrition. Studies have shown that starches should be avoided by these 3 groups (now, when our Nigerian meals are chockful of starches at almost every table, isn't it time to make a change?)these meals take all those into consideration and more. I've put in the time to ensure that each ingredient, each meal helps our bodies in some way

It's simple really, if you like, don't call it a diet, but something has got to give. A lot of women have used food, alongside other things to heal themselves...I think it's time we did too.

I've also already said that this should be incorporated into our lifestyles, it just makes sense. Eat well, live well, be well.

I hope I've answered everyone's questions. Like I always say, if you are still in doubt, do some research on your own to find out if and how food contributes to fertility. Don't depend on what I say (I am the same way- I always try to get corroborating evidence). The Internet is at your fingertips. Look at studies from reputable institutions. Then do the research to see whether it's safe to eat all foods when TTC.

@dreamsinbc, am in 4 d challenge too oo but I recently learnt how to take oats hence I take the flavored ones that they sell in goodies, hope it ok ooo?
Also can I supplement basmatic rice with brown rice?

Kike, welcome. Read the package instructions. If it's sweetened with maple syrup, that's fine, but if it's with sugar, and some funny chemicals, pls buy quaker or good morning plain oats.

You can use any white rice instead of brown, but for the purposes if this challenge, use half the amount of white rice for the stated amount of brown rice, and eat an extra serving of greens or vegetables.

Yes to croaker! Not a fan of tilapia. Just found out amaranth is ego tete. I rem how my parents used to put that on my thumb cos I used to suck on it till ehm age 14. Big big baby I was. So diet starts on the 1st by the Grace of God. Thank God!!

I'm ready for it.

@Dreams,a nice work here.I'm so so in for this.

@dreams,great job here,as u are using ur bfp period to help people,may u never lack helpers whenever u need one,may u carry to term and deliver safely at the right time.am in for the challenge,but cant stock some of the items,PHCN dey show us for here,pls the brown rice,is it the one with scale? Many questions bt i cant rememeber now.

@twingirls, no kill me with laugh oooo. I just sent it to Lizzy to try it out for her hubby. I made it today, will post the recipe with pictures tomorrow. Promise!

The parsley is meant to be used in vegetable juice/smoothie. However, you just finished detoxing, so please let your body rest a little. Juice one apple (juice, don't blend) then blend the apple juice with a handful of parsley. Drink it once a day for 2 days (only 2 days because you have done serious shaking off). I'm very happy to hear you like the fufu. We love it too. Hugs!

@Mowafruitful, Amen! I don't understand your question about the brown rice o. I get what you mean about the power supply. I will post the menu soon, so you can choose what to stock per week. Take your time, when you remember the questions, feel free to ask them

@Venuss, yes o. One cup of bone broth everyday. Lol@ the broth of bone. Buy biscuit bone or cow tail (something with juicy marrow)

@iyatt, pls email me- fruitfulkitchen@gmail.com

@Dreams, thanks. Pls, this tiger nut milk, how often shld dh take it? I made d milk yesterday for d first time. I bought N500 worth of d nut, i guess it was too much, cos i produced two thick big eva water bottles full from it. The problem is my dh has bn drinking it at every opportunity since yesterday to d extent he now uses it to swallow his drugs!! and he is planning to take the second bottle to work tommorrow!!!! I told him its one glass per day, but he doesnt want to hear dat. Is d rate he is taking it too much.

@Uteh, lol @taking the second bottle to work. Let him take it. When it finishes, don't make more for about a week. When you do make more, just blend enough to fill one glass. Leave the remaining nuts soaked till you want to blend again. Remember to change the soaking water 2ce a day.

Goodmrn ladies,

Eiyaaa, I don't know why the link wasn't coming up. Ahhhh, you can't open the apple oatmeal? Y na? Apara? Thank you so much, will put it up now to help others.

From my experience, you can't find bulgur in the open market. Check in big shops.

Dried cod is just dried panla (at least I know the name of that one).

Please don't use more than 3 vegetables for your smoothie.
Juice the apple, use the juice as the base. Then you can combine any 3 as you like. You can take your smoothie at any time, but take it not later than 20 minutes after making.

I LOVE oatmeal pancakes. Yummmmmmmmm!!!!
