So confused due to conflicting information found online. Would juicing work for ttc girl?

:agree: theres a difference though between juice as a part of an overall diet, and people who do juice fasts. Juice fasts may sway pink, but I do not want ANYONE to do them because I don't think they're safe enough as a prepregnancy diet, will probably stop or delay ovulation, and while some people can do them safely, I know swayers and at least some swayers will take an idea like a juice fast straight to the brink of insanity and I just don't want to take the risk. I do know of three people who did get girls while doing juice fasts (2 for religious reasons and 1 for personal reasons) but I just don't want the average person doing that.

Since I am overweight, does that mean I am most likely to have a boy? Is there anything at all I can do in the limited amount of time I have to shed a few pounds (I know realistically I can't lose more than 2-5 before time) and thereby increase my chances of a girl sway? I want a little girl so so bad. Of course if God means for us to have another boy, I will love him with all my heart, but Oh...how I long for a little girl.

This is one of those gray areas - we do know that women can and do get kids of either gender at ALL shapes and sizes and I have an essay about that here big girls, little girls, and baby girls (and boys!!)

My actual concern is not your weight los but such a short time on diet. OUr stats have shown clearly that 12 weeks or more on diet (with or without weight loss) is much better than 2-4 weeks. I would be concerned that you will really lower your odds by proceeding with only a couple weeks on diet.
