I'm vegan, and we're trying to conceive a girl. I can see where a vegetarian diet is much easier to make girl-friendly, however there are many things veg which sway blue such as salt, bananas, avocados, tofu (which I understand actually sways pink if the man eats it), soy, beans, antioxident-rich vegetables, etc. As far as my friends who are vegans go, only one so far has had a child, a girl, I went to school with her. But she also didn't have a lot of money when her child was conceived, so probably not eating well, and a few years earlier she had anorexia. But then also the one person I know who has been vegan since birth is a man. So being veg helps, it's certainly a healthy way to eat, but it's not substantial enough to rely on for swaying.
I think a lot of us are the unhealthy vegetarians.. I eat no avocados, no tofu, no beans. The veggies I mainly eat are steamed broccoli, steamed asparagus, and cucumber. I survive on white rice with the steamed veggies and low fat shredded cheese. and I do have pasta from time to time too. I have had avocado and bean cheats from time to time... but rarely!
The veggies that I am mostly eating are zucchini, aubergies without the outer violet peel, leeks, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce. Do you think they are all ok as low nitrient veggies please?
I was on a superfood kick for a while, which I've stopped as we're getting ready to sway, breakfast for me for a while was soy yoghurt with fruit and chia seeds mixed in. We're going to start TTC in March, right now breakfast is a smoothie made with strawberries, a apple, kiwis, kale, and ginger. Which sounds odd, but it's tasty, and I'm on a detox regime including that, regular saunas, etc to make sure my body is clean before a baby lives in there for 9 months. As of January, breakfast will be coffee with rice milk, and I'll be fully into the LE diet with food ideas from French Gender Diet incorporated. Our dinners will be a lot of pastas or vegetable stir fries with a side of tofu for my husband, still looking into good lunch ideas.
Now that we're shifting from superfoods to cheap student-style foods, our grocery bill is definitely going down. Which my husband and I say we'll definitely be more than making up for when our daughter is a teenager. :-P
I've heard that aubergines, cooked (NOT raw) tomatoes, cucumbers, and iceberg lettuce are supposed to be great, I can't remember about the others off the top of my head.
Thanks for the info Shakti :)Quote:
