Hi,
We have a 20 month old son and are ttc a girl. I eat tofu, which is soy and wanted to know What sort of effect does this might have on conceiving a girl? Also, does eating nuts affect your testosterone levels. I am also on 100mg of Clomid. Thanks for your help.
Don't know about tofu but I think nuts would sway blue lots off good fats, I eat lots of them before I had my boys.. 100mg clomid very good for pink sway. Good luck..
Thanks so much for your advice; I appreciate it. I have stopped eating meat for the past 2 months but was eating the nuts as a form of protein, maybe this was not such a good idea for swaying pink:-)Quote:

Some people think soy sways pink, others think it sways blue.
You do need to cut back on protein and nutrients in general when on the LE diet.
I used to eat a lot of soy products for years before I conceived my DS, I was actually vegan and eat lots of things like nuts, trail mix, and faux meat products made from soy.
I would avoid veggie burgers/chik'n/tofu dogs like the plague if you are swaying pink. I completely cut all soy (including tofu/soy milk) from my diet when swaying. Tofu is probably better for pink than processed soy products.
I also didn't eat any more nuts/dried fruits while swayinig pink. They are high in calories and nutrients. Good luck swaying pink. :)
Hope you don't mind me jumping in here but in the UK you can get some lovely veggie burgers with no soy/tofu in, just veggies & potatoes or some bean burgers that as an occasional treat fit in with the Le diet. Cauliflower cheese grills are nice too. Hth!Quote:

Tesco used to do some looovely vegetable burgers, but think they stopped making them (along with a ton of other products I liked). Might have a look to see if they do something similar...Quote:

Lidl veggie pizzas are nice too, just eat half with le veggies for a main meal. :D

Thanks so much for your information; I appreciate it. How long did you have to cut out the nuts and protein in your diet for it to start swaying? The only soy I eat is Tofu, so hopefully that will sway pink! Thanks for your help!Quote:

Nuts do have a lot of healthy fats and nutrients in them, but you won't be getting much as long as you stick within your day's totals.
