Anyone get a girl and didn't go vegetarian?

[Debahlgrim]

I cannot for the life of me go vegetarian. I'm trying my best to stay at or under the 60g of protein. I do it most days I think. I'm definitely eating less than I normally would.

One of my friends is gluten free and eats tons of meat and just had her 4th girl. She drinks lots of coffee though?

Are you doing the pcos version of LE? I think Atomic recommends that doing this version some meat is advised/at least it's ok. I eat chicken most days and I'm doing pcos le but we're not trying at the moment so I can't tell you if that's going to work. Having said that I think most girls are born to meat eating mothers so it's not make or break I wouldn't say :)

There's no magic foods as Atomic would say so you can eat meat and still get a girl. Think about it, are all girl moms out there vegetarian? No, of course not! :)

The key is to "worsen" your condition, in other words, put your body through a "tough time". This lowers fertility, which sways girl.

As long as you are within the limits for protein, fat and cals that's fine I believe. Like others have said, plenty of girl mums eat meat it's the overall totals and declining maternal condition which sways pink. Good luck xx

I am doing weight watchers/ keeping an eye on daily protein and fat totals. Overall I'm doing pretty good. I definitely go over. I have chicken/turkey most days but a very small amount. 3oz of chicken is only 2 WW points (30 points total for the day.) So I'm keeping it to a minimum.

I'm not pregnant yet so can't say if my sway will work but I am probably eating 85% vegetarian when before I would have meat for both my main meals of the day. All my vegetarian friends have boys and all the girl mum's I know eat meat so I wouldn't say it is a deal breaker. As I always see it, it's the CHANGE that helps sway and I find it easier to keep the protein down by limiting meat so that's why I do it but I wouldn't beat yourself up about having some chicken/turkey each day. Do what you can and forget about the rest. After 8 long months on this journey, I've come to realise there is no perfect sway so just do the bits you can manage and be happy with that. Sounds like you are doing great. Good luck x

[Debahlgrim]

Yes that is so true- the change! This is DEFINITELY different from my normal routine and I'm going against what I would normally eat and how I exercise!

Yes I still had meat at least a time or two a week when I couldn't avoid it. Occasionally more. Was actually eating more meat when I got DD, than I did with my failed sway with DS 4 (was also doing a lot of supplements that probably swayed really super blue)

[lovellcute]

I'm eating abit of meat, for example my partner cooked a big pork roast dinner
Had loads of veg and the potatoes and one slice of the pork (would have usually eaten sooooooo much meat)
And if he cooks a spaghetti bolognese
I will have one large spoon full of the meat etc
When before I would have literally had an absolute mountain!
I'm still under limits as if I know I'm having a meal with meat in I will have low protein stuff the rest of the day to compensate
One thing atomic wrote once struck such a cord with me
Your body doesn't know what you're eating, it can't tell if you've just eaten chocolate it just knows the fats, protein, nutrients etc
So I really stick to the whole no magic foods (as I wouldn't survive without potatoes and tomatoes on this diet)
And that keeps me calm and less anxious!
If being a vegetarian automatically meant you'd have a girl then it would be far more obvious in today's society x

I just stuck to the limits. I ate vegetarian mostly, but if I couldn't avoid eating meat I would. For my sway that resulted in my DS3, I was lax about the limits. This time, I stuck to them all of the time. I believe staying in the limits are what is the most important and one attempt (via pos opk or E4D).

🤞🏻and GL to you!!

Same with my sway opposite, I didn't watch limits just went mostly vegetarian, and lost heaps of weight by starving myself.
This time I'm tracking my limits and I can see my dairy consumption last time would have put my protein way over every day! This time I am vegan so no dairy or meat just occasional fish and hoping it makes the difference.

[Debahlgrim]

I don't think I go way over the limits but I'm worried because some days I go over on protein and other days fat. Half/most of the time I believe I'm within the limits. [emoji51]

You are doing really good! Fx crossed so hard you get another girl xx

Hi! I just wanted to chime in & say that I've been a vegetarian since I was 13 and have 2 boys-got pregnant on first try for both! I have another vegetarian friend with 2 boys! I'm wondering if we were just healthy eaters in good health with other "boy friendly" life style factors. It's definitely not the magic answer for a girl, but most likely helpful with a combination of factors/changes. I see you have a girl, were you swaying then? Sounds like you're doing a great job & hope you get another girl! [emoji175]

[Birthfree]

I ate like regular, just almost zero dairy. I have other food limitations that wouldn't tolerate me being vegetarian.

I focused on one attempt instead.

I wasn't purposely swaying but I was on Weight Watchers for 6 weeks before getting pregnant. I wanted to lose weight before I got pregnant. I was also doing Zumba 4-5 times a week.Then with the boys I was eating normally for me which was high fat and protein, etc. no exercise. One attempt for all three kids lol

I seem to hover around 60g of protein. I'm trying to get down to 50g more consistently. Is 60g super terrible? I'm tall if that counts for anything... I think I need to tighten on the limits since I was losing weight but I haven't in the last couple weeks.

I still ate meat just as often but had smaller serves. My main thing I tried to do food wise was cut out snacking!

No, 60 g is in the limits of the LE Diet and in fact I prefer tall women to eat those upper levels (or even boost to 60-70, I do this with some regularity for tall women who are exercising or breastfeeding) There is no earthly way that a woman who is 5-10 should be eating the same amount of protein as a woman who is 5-2.
