How my sisters and I made boys :)

[LuvMyGuys]

Hello Blue Swayers!

I'm in my second cycle TTC girl and as I've been reading this site for a few weeks now, I've realized just how heavily my sisters and I lived/ate boy diets/lifestyles without even knowing it (we all have beautiful boys)! So, I thought I'd share what we were doing/how we were eating for those of you swaying for boys.

Meals: Frequent meals throughout the day, every two hours beginning at 8:30am until 8pm; lots and lots of snacking (think: snacks in purse lol)

Diet consisted of high amounts of: chicken, fish, dark leafy/nutrient rich greens (kale, spinach), avocado (lots of guac, plain avo with bfast and lunch, avo shakes), tomatoes in all forms (spaghetti sauce, salsa, lots of ketchup), lots of Asian sauces high in sodium (fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce), potatoes, potato chips. Small amounts of calcium - no milk, ice cream and yogurt on occasion, cheese once in a while. Most meals were high nutrient high protein, always had grains, chicken/fish and a dark veggie with every meal. Oh yeah - usually had oatmeal, cereal or toast w/ bananas & almond butter for breakfast.

TTC - Big O, pretty much every time. BD close to or on ovulation date. Lots of CM when BD.

We're all pretty high stressed/type A/try to be super organized and plan whatever we can.

Living this lifestyle for so long and reading this site has really opened my eyes to why we all have boys. Although it was hard to skip breakfast and just eat less in general at first, it's getting easier. Toughest times for me is on weekends cause I loved eating breakfast/brunch with my family. Now, it's just coffee for Mommy :)

Anyway, hope this helps for the blue swayers! Sending all my blue dust your way!!

No prob! Everyone on here has provided such a wealth of information, I felt I should also share my experience now that I can see more clearly what may be behind my family of boys!

Do you think almond milk is ok? I've been drinking coffee in the mornings with a little almond milk to help curb my appetite since I'm waiting til noon to eat.

I know that is what people say but I assure you I ate tons of dairy and got boys, and cut it out to get a girl.

Almond milk is a toss up. It may be blue friendly because it's highly fortified, but at the same time, the vegetable based oils present in high amounts may sway pink.

We just don't have the data to pin down individual foods and "how they sway". It is much more reasonable to assume it's the diet as a whole and not any one food.

Anecdotally, I had almond milk semi-frequently when I conceived my daughter, though I also had a very LE lifestyle -- I also am a very Type A personality, so almond milk + that personality can still yield a girl with everything else.

@business.woman: I know it can seem that way from the old school ways, but there are definitely studies that say high fat dairy = fertility, and boys. I felt a little unsure about this myself after getting sucked into the "alkaline" business, where milk is considered acidic, but then there is so, so much that disproves that notion, too. The Netherlands has the highest dairy consumption in the world, and they definitely have plenty of (tall) boys born there ;)

My diet & lifestyle was similar to LuvMyGuys when i fell pregnant with my son but have always had lots of dairy.

So are we across the board that full fat dairy is good for a boy sway? I always ate lots of dairy before my daughter but I didn't regularly snack or eat breakfast ever. Plus I was on clomid for her, so I think those things swayed more girl than having dairy. I'm having dairy now for my boy sway bit eating more regularly and having breaky.

I didn't realize you had a boy from a boy sway! Have you shared anywhere on here?

Well, full fat dairy BETTER sway blue :nyd:. I haven't had dairy in years (besides heavy whipping cream in my coffee or tea) and for the last 7 weeks, I'm downing a few servings per day for my sway. Hubby got some cream on sale yesterday so I'm adding it to my yogurt for some extra animal fat.It's the biggest change in diet for me lol.

[atomic sagebrush]

Haha - All I can say is what the science indicates to me and what my personal experience was. :) I had it with 2 of 4 boys and 2% dairy with the other two. My husband drinks a gallon of milk every other day. Dropped it all and got our girl.

Just remember, though, that anyone doing FGD and IGD who got opposites, (either pink or blue) were doing the "mineral balancing" stuff and got opposites anyway. :)

Here is the thing - all I can tell you is what the science seems to indicate and what makes sense to me and the experiences of people on this site and "the other site" where I was for 3+ years before coming over here. I cannot say ANYTHING across the board, I can only say here are the reasons why I think this, please make up your own minds.

I believe full fat dairy sways blue. The reasons I do so is not only because I got 4 boys that way, but because the FGD makes no biological sense (in a world where 75% of all people are lactose intolerant and ALL people before 8000 years ago were lactose intolerant, it is highly unlikely that dairy is required to make girls, and additionally because your body is designed to stay in homeostasis and when you cut back on calcium your body just absorbs more from foods and takes it from your teeth and bones, levels in your body never change.

Additionally we have evidence indicating that moms who ate the most cal-mag via diet had more boys, we have evidence indicating Vit. D sways blue (and I got 2 boys taking it and dropped it to get my girl) we have evidence indicating that animal fat sways blue, we have evidence that full fat dairy raises fertility too. So, I think it sways blue.

I think what is swaying is diet as a whole, nutrient content, and effect on maternal condition.

When I was on the other site, I saw that people were following very different types of diets but still calling them sway diets. Some pink swayers ate ice cream, yogurt, massive amounts of whole milk, chicken, butter, pasta, eggs, etc and I found those ladies got overwhelmingly opposites. Others did a much more restrained diet with skim dairy, cucumbers, rice cakes, etc. I know women who gained 30 lbs swaying pink only to get opposites. Same with blue swayers - some subsisted on bacon, rice milk, rice krispies, ramen, and iceberg lettuce and got opposites, others ate more balanced diet with lots of veg, fruit, potatoes, steak, fruit juice, etc and their sways succeeded. This is something I noticed BEFORE I started researching swaying, before I ever looked into it at all and before I ever heard of the Trivers Willard hypothesis. I was like "how do these people think they are eating the same stuff?? swaying makes no sense it can't be true"

I'm not putting a gun to anyone's head and "making" them drink full fat dairy for a boy. You can get a boy without dairy. All I am trying to get you guys to do is consider the possibility that this is about something other than minerals (because it has to be or I wouldn't have gotten a boy taking 1200 mg calcium and eating dairy every day, and then a girl without that) This is because I want your sways to work. If you don't want to do dairy, no worries. Just be sure you're getting a lot of animal fat from other sources and DO NOT eat rice krispies with rice milk for breakfast, ramen for lunch, and BLT salad with ranch dressing (loaded with Omega 6 fats, BTW) for dinner.

Long story short, no, the science is not "settled", science never is. Make the decisions for your sway based on being fully informed and thinking about what makes the most sense to YOU personally. :)

Please do!! The blue swayers sometimes struggle with diet ideas and it really helps to see what other people are doing. :heart:
