Any meat eating girl mama's out there?

I was always eating meat and got 4 DD . But most of the time chicken then pork and a little beef and fish only sometimes.
But I did eat lots of beef when ttc #4 so I don't know...maybe meat just not working for me?
Or because I was never big on snack and breakfast. (did eat breakfast with DD4 but it was the damn rice krispie:mad:)
So i try to eat meat every day now anyway and also taking gelatin. Hope it will work this time!:pray:

I really think the no snack/no breakfast is a powerful thing!!!

My sons keep asking why I never make Rice Krispie treats any more (I used to make them all the time) and it's because I get pissed every time I look at Rice Krispies now!!! :)

I ate Rice Krispies- are they not OK? I always ate dates about an 1 hour later, and then a banana. I was eating a lot!

Yeah, I saw that in your sway and I winced but I figured it was done!!! I don't love the Rice Krispies, because the advice is to eat them with either unfortified rice milk or else non-dairy creamer, so it is basically 1000% pure simple carbs (and in the case of the non-dairy creamer, food-like chemistry) that cause your blood sugar to rise sky high and then crash. Plus it's basically empty calories that don't do a thing to help your sway.

A lot of girl moms tend to not eat a lot just from habit, and the other site does not emphasize snacking like I do, so then they don't eat again until lunchtime, and their blood sugar is in the toilet that whole entire time. Terrible for TTC blue. But, if you either eat meat with your Rice Krispies or else eat again very shortly afterwards like you're describing, it may have been mitigated to a certain extent (hopefully totally mitigated.)

Protein + carbs at every meal and snack for blue. Complex carbs are always better.

The only thing I can say in a response- is it was a HUGE bowl of RK and I always had pineapple juice with gelatin- 1 full pack (so protein). I was eating so much I was so full. I can understand the empty carb thing- but if I am trying to watch mineral content- which I know you don't emphasize as much, most cereals contain too much magnesium. Ideally, I would have eaten bacon and eggwhites, but I really don't like the mess nor waking up early to do so (plus the expense). I also did eat dates (4 or so- about 1.5 later) and bananas (1 large about 3 hours later), and the occasional piece of lunch meat before lunch. I never went hungry- but felt like I was always eating in the morning.

Just the shear volume of food was difficult, but I thought combining the gelatin was the protein side of my meal.

I understand totally and please understand I am not trying to pick apart your sway in any way, I just don't think it's the way to go (honestly I don't find bacon and eggwhite much better.) and since you asked, I thought I ought to answer!! :) I'm glad you were doing things to mitigate it. :agree:

If this helps, I had a mostly boy friendly and some girl friendly habits with both of my boys, but because my body seems to like producing high amounts of testosterone for fun (I'd really like to stop growing a mustache please!), maybe it isn't a surprise I had boys. I know you were asking about girl moms who had boy friendly diets, but thought I'd share what I was doing when I conceived both of my sons.

I always skipped breakfast and took 1200mg of calcium. With my first son, I was taking a diet pill when ephedrine was still legal in the US. Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are possible girl sway things since they tend to dry up CM, right?

what I ate was/is mostly boy friendly: I would usually only eat one meal a day and it would be under or around 1200 calories (maybe that's more girl friendly). That one meal was always healthy and mostly protein: think eggs and beans, steak and roasted vegetables, broccoli, green leaf lettuce, cheese, plain yogurt, etc.

I had an average to slightly sodium intake (salad dressing and food seasonings) and that would not be girl friendly.

If I ate carbohydrates, they would be whole wheat only and in very limited portions. I did not eat rice or anything else, much to the dismay of my husband whose culture basically serves rice with every meal. I drank (and drink) only, no caffeine, no alcohol, and definitely nothing sugary.

Neither of my pregnancies were planned, though, so I can't tell you what my pH was, but it was probably rather balanced, if not slightly alkaline.
