Pre-sway diet vs sway diet

Is it best to change your diet from what you did before? For example - on my boys I ate little to no dairy. Am wondering now should I increase my low fat/no fat dairy intake to keep with LE limits or does stuff like this even matter? So far I have dropped a lot of full fat stuff, stopped snacking and grazing which was HUGE for me, started drinking coffee (not sway related - just cause my DS2 was a reflux baby and slept horribly for months so needed it to survive!!)

I also didn't eat dairy hardly ever when I conceived my boys. So I'm interested in a response x

I barely touched dairy when I conceived my girls :) I don't think it's a case of doing the opposite tbh I'm sure lots of boys & girls are conceived on the same type of foods Id imagine it's the overall picture that counts. I think to an extent everything is ok within the limits of LE for girl sway moms and HE for boy sway moms.

I personally do not believe dairy sways pink and probably sways blue. I ate tons of dairy with my boys. The exception is if you've become lactose intolerant and you're made so ill from increased dairy intake that you are absorbing next to no nutrients and are totally miserable. But even that didn't work for me as I got my last two boys after I became lactose intolerant, I just ate cheese and yogurt instead of milk and ice cream (I can't handle those two)

Skim dairy ~may~ have some component in it that is fertility unfriendly. No one is really sure why it is. This seems like a good thing for pink but at the same time it may be terrible for blood sugar levels and may really wreak havoc for people with PCOS and inadvertently end up raising T levels and possibly swaying blue if a person had PCO tendencies they didn't know were there. It's a big gamble for people considering the nutrients involved which are considerable.

So, long story short, I would not go out of my way to eat more dairy on LE but it is still allowed within the limits. If you have IR/PCOS use full fat. Alt. Diets use full fat. Everyone else use skim.

:agree: THIS! :bowdown:

Remember, doing the opposite only works when whatever it is, is the REASON why you got boys to start with. I do not think the reason anyone ever got boys was that they ate no dairy, because I have seen too many moms of all girls (and EVERYONE in Asia and Africa) getting girls without ever eating/drinking dairy and I myself (and the population of Northern Europe) getting boys with tons of dairy.
